Both the long and short side meter set fees are established at a level that will fund City labor and material costs for installing utility service as long as no street cut is required. However, since a full or partial street cut may be required on any service installation depending upon the location of the service mains, the City shall require a full street cut deposit on all long side installations and a partial street cut deposit on all short side installations prior to issuing a building permit for that location. If they are completed with no road cuts, the City shall refund the street cut deposit to the applicant. If a road cut is required, the City shall retain that portion of the road cut deposit in accordance with the road cut fee schedule established herein. This provision shall be applicable to all permits issued on or after July 1, 2004.
Culverts
Customer supplies road tube, City installs at no cost for tubes twenty-four (24) inches in diameter or less. Tubes larger than twenty-four (24) inches in diameter shall be installed on a time and materials basis.
Standard Rates Schedule: The City shall not compete with private individuals and companies providing services similar to those provided by the City Public Works Department. The City shall provide these services to private individuals only in the case of public emergencies, such as natural disasters, when the Mayor determines that such provision is for the general good of the community or when such services are not reasonably available from a private contractor or individual. A higher cost of service if that service is provided by a private contractor or individual does not in itself create a requirement for the City to provide such service.
In the event the City does provide services to private individuals, the following standard rate schedule shall apply:
Dump Truck Charge (Rock Hauling, Debris, etc.)
$20.00 per load plus rock cost
Residents and local commercial only
Labor Rates
$20.00 per staff/hour
Equipment Rates
Backhoe: $75.00 per hour plus operator.
Compressor: $40.00 per hour (plus operator if applicable).
Skid loader: $40.00 per hour plus operator.
Chop saw: $20.00 per hour plus operator.
The Mayor may waive any such fees and charges in the event of a public emergency, disaster recovery or as the Mayor deems appropriate for the general benefit of the community.
