The Budget is introduced, at this time, in order to allow for the required 60
days of advertising before conducting a Public Hearing on the proposed water
and wastewater rate increases. We propose to hold a Public Hearing on June 4,
2009. At that meeting, the Board may consider the adoption of the Budget and
Rates either as introduced, or as amended. Conducting a Public Hearing on
June 4, 2009, also provides staff time to make requested modifications by the
ACSA Board of Directors prior to the regularly scheduled Board Meeting on June
18, 2009, if necessary.

MEMORANDUM
To: Board of Directors
From: Gary W. Fern, P.E., Executive Director
Date: March 13, 2009
Re: Proposed FY 2010 Budget
cc: James M. Bowling, IV
The ACSA Staff is pleased to present this Proposed FY 2010 Budget for
the Albemarle County Service Authority. I would like to recognize Ms. Lisa Bree-
den and the Staff of the Finance Department as well as the Directors, Managers,
and Supervisors who with considerable effort developed the Proposed Budget
and Rates. The Budget is introduced at this time in order to allow for the re-
quired 60 days for advertising before conducting the Public Hearing on the pro-
posed rate increases. We propose to hold the Public Hearing on June 4, 2009.
At that meeting, the Board may consider the adoption of the Budget, either as
introduced or as amended. In the interim period, the ACSA Staff can address
concerns raised by members of the Board.

The largest contributor of this estimated cost is the North Fork Regional
Pump Station Project. The project is estimated to cost $5,770,450 in both FY
2010 and FY 2011. In addition, the Meadowcreek Basin Sewer Rehabilitation
Project is estimated to cost $2,000,000 in FY 2010. This project will reduce infil-
tration/inflow in the Meadowcreek Drainage Basin and is expected to reduce the
number of sewer system overflows experienced in the Meadowcreek Interceptor.
The Maintenance Department will continue to perform in-house construction on
some of the projects within the CIP. Details of the FY 2010 CIP Projects are pro-
vided in a memorandum dated March 12, 2009.
The proposed rates for FY 2010 are shown on Page 10. The proposed
total water consumption (1,610,474,000 gallons) and wastewater generation
(1,288,123,000 gallons) represents decreases of 7.1% and 6.5% from the flows
proposed in FY 2009. These rates reflect the application of $2,000,000 from the
Repair, Replacement & Rehabilitation (3R) Fund. An increase of 9% is proposed
for the fixed monthly charge.
To promote greater conservation, an increase of 9% to the residential wa-
ter rates is proposed for Level 1, while increases of 14% and 17% are proposed
for Levels 2 and 3, respectively. An increase of 13% is proposed for the non-
single family residential water rate. The sewer rate is proposed to increase from
$7.00 per thousand gallons to $8.11 per thousand gallons (16%). This increase
is mainly attributed to the proposed wastewater projects to be undertaken in the
CIP.
In addition to the Volume Rate Changes, the ACSA staff is proposing to
increase the RWSA Capacity Fees, System Development Fees, and Water Local
Facilities Fees. No changes are proposed for the Sewer Local Facilities Fees.
These increases are a result of projects being undertaken by the RWSA and the
ACSA.
Anticipated Reserves:
We request that the Board of Directors authorize the advertisement for a Public
Hearing to address the FY 2010 Budget and Rates at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 4,
2009.
