Whereas, the City Council of the City of Halstad has adopted the Minnesota Basic Code as it has been amended and supplemented to be its city code and that code permits the city to adopt by ordinance a schedule of fees and charges for various services, licenses and permits,

 

Now Therefore, the City Council of the City of Halstad, Minnesota, ordains:

Section  2. The following are the fees and charges for the permits, licenses and services listed below which are referenced to the section of the city code which authorizes their establishment:

 

The Halstad Municipal Utilities are governed by a Utilities Commission, which sets at the rates and charges under their jurisdiction.  These rates are subject to change periodically upon approval of the commission.

 

1.  The monthly charge for the collection, removal and disposal of garbage and trash from residences and businesses within

      the corporate limits of the city, pursuant to ' 50.08 (A), shall be on file at the Halstad Municipal Utilities (HMU).

4.  The sewer service rates and charges to users of the wastewater treatment facility pursuant to  ' '  51.113 and 51.114    

     shall be as established  by ordinance or resolution prior to the adoption of this code.  If there is no pre-existing ordinance   

     or resolution and the treatment works is primarily flow dependent and the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD),  

     suspended solids, and other pollutant concentrations discharged by all users are approximately equal, then user charges

     are developed on the following volume basis: A users’ charge for Operation and Maintenance per unit of time (CU)

     equals the total Operation and Maintenance Costs per unit of time (CT), divided by the total volume contribution from

     all users per unit of time (VT) times the volume contribution from a user per unit of time (VU) which can be expressed

     in the formula: CU = CT / [VT (VU)].  This volume basis formula can only be used if there are no quantity discounts to

     large volume users.  If the volume contributed is not measured in this city and the water charge is based on a constant

     cost per unit of consumption, then the sewer user charge can be established based on a percentage of the charge for

     water usage.  Sewer rates and charges may be changed by amendment to this ordinance from time to time pursuant to

     ' '  51.113 (D) and 51.114.  Rates on file at the Halstad Municipal Utilities.
