Acceptance of August 12, 2013 Minutes Arthur Hoffman amended the written minutes and MOVED to accept the minutes as amended. The motion was seconded and the MOTION PASSED on a unanimous voice vote. III. Appeals A. MIB, LLC Greenwood Inn The customer seeks an abatement of $1, in sewer fees. Deputy City Manager Cox's recommendation is an abatement of 161 units of sewer fees valued at $1,005.70, provided the customer provides documentation regarding the leak and its repair. The above recommendation is based upon the following findings: 1. A review of the usage indicates leaks may have started during the February 4, 2013 billing period. However, no abatement request was filed until after the August 2, 2013 billing. Therefore, the only fees that can be abated are those assessed in the period covered by the August 2, 2013 invoice period (per Ordinance, Section (a)). 2. The total units of 313 used during the May 15, 2013 to August 2, 2013 period are 161 units above the estimated average of 152 units. The 161 units are valued at $1, Page 2

3 Utility Advisory Board September 09, The customer has not provided any documentation regarding the specifics of the leaks (location, nature of repair, drainage into sewer system, etc.) Arthur Hoffman MOVED to TABLE action pending more information from the appellant.

I would not recommend an increase. You will see that Rochester s current fees are higher than most other communities. An increase would probably have a negative impact on future deliveries to Rochester. We are at $96/1000 gals for comparison. Correct on the other two. Peter C.

Rochester, NH t (603) f (603) From: Blaine Cox Sent: Tuesday, September 10, :36 PM To: Peter Nourse; Lisa Clark; Ann Dupuis Cc: Shirley McCrillis Subject: Septage Fees Peter et. Al.: 1. The UAB is working on their water & sewer rates proposal for the Council. They have requested that you supply the septage rates from neighboring communities to compare to ours. Do you have this data? 2. Looking at the rates below, do you have a rate adjustment recommendation? 3. To confirm: Septage Discharge is per 500 gallons? RV Septage is flat fee per dump? Gray water is per 2,000 gallons?
