Wallace <br />Special Projects Coordinator <br />City of Casselberry <br />95 Lake Triplet Drive <br />Casselberry, FL 32707 <br /> <br />.' Jilii8 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Request for Amended Work Authorization (Addendum) <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Wallace: <br /> <br />During Fiscal Year 2007, Public Resources Management Group, Inc. (PRMG) was tasked to <br />perform a Water, Wastewater and Reclaimed Water Rate Study (the "Rate Study") for the City <br />of Casselberry, Florida (the "City"), which was anticipated to conclude by December 31, 2007. <br />The original work authorization was approved by the City, and the Rate Study was initiated in <br />September 2007. However, due to other commitments and goals of the City, the project was <br />delayed. As of today, the Rate Study is approximately 70% complete, yet much of the financial <br />infofIllation is now outdated. <br /> <br />Following discussions with City staff, the City would like to update the forecast of operating and <br />capital expenditures predicated on the proposed Fiscal Year 2009 Operating Budget and the <br />City's updated Five-Year Capital Plan. The operating budget is anticipated to reflect recent <br />increases in operating costs, while the new capital plan is anticipated to reflect the City's need to <br />develop alternative water supplies (the "Alternative Water Supply Initiative"), improvements for <br />sludge disposal to meet new regulatory requirements, and any other additional improvements and <br />repairs that are now known by City staff. <br /> <br />Amendment Task No. I <br /> <br />In addition to completing the remaining tasks provided for in the original work authorization <br />including the proposal of new miscellaneous charges and benefit fees (the "Impact Fees"), the <br />City has requested that PRMG update the existing financial forecast developed for the Rate <br />Study to reflect the most current operating and capital requirements of the City. This task will <br />require that specific study components that have been completed to date, which are now <br />outdated, be re-examined under new study assumptions as provided by City staff. This <br />amendment includes updating the projection of annual operating expenses through Fiscal Year <br />2012, and funding of the City's new capital improvement projects. Specifically, PRMG will <br />assist in developing a funding strategy that optimizes the timing of future rate increases to help <br />offset the funding needs for the Alternative Water Supply Initiative. <br /> <br />K:\Mlfd 176-04\ColTesp\Requesl Add'j Svcs_doc <br /> <br />Ht NORTH MAITLAND AVENUE' SUITE .HIO.
