It was initially hoped that billing for the surface water management fee would be included on the July bill for June service. For various reasons that deadline could not be met and it was agreed that the billing would be delayed until the August bills. In speaking with the Elk River Municipal Utilities, they have indicated that they may not be able to meet the August billing deadline. Staff at the Utilities is indicating that approximately 60 hours of programming services will be required to allow the software to accommodate this billing. Additionally, the Utilities staff needs time to input all of the billing data. In earlier conversations with the Utilities, it was understood that the billing would start in June and that the Utilities could accommodate the June deadline. This recent development is an unfortunate and unanticipated delay which will result in the loss of another month of revenue. . Software changes are estimated to cost $3,000. This cost, along with all other start up costs will be paid from future revenue collections. Ongoing billing fees will also be paid with monthly revenue collections. An informational postcard will be sent with the bills telling property owners about the program and who to call if they have questions. City staff expects to receive manv calls after the fIrst bills are received by property owners.
