City of San Luis Obispo
Council Agenda Correspondence
DATE: July 1, 2024
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Aaron Floyd, Director of Utilities
VIA: Whitney McDonald, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: ITEM 7A – REVIEW AND ADOPT REVISED CITYWIDE USER AND
REGULATORY FEES
Staff received a comment regarding the complexity of the Recycled Water Construction
Permit fees shown in Table 14 of the staff report.
In response, staff have developed a simplified structure for assessing the Recycled Water
Construction Water Permit fees that can be easily administered, remain equitable for
projects of varying size and duration, and allow for more than six permitted vehicles.
Modified Recycled Water Construction Permit Fee Methodology
Staff’s recommendation is that the City Council implement and approve the Recycled
Water Construction Permit fees with the new, simplified structure and fees shown below
in Table 1. While developing the simplified structure, staff identified miscalculations in the
original fee proposal that incorrectly attributed Full Year, per-vehicle water consumption
costs to Half Year and Quarterly permits. Correcting these miscalculations results in a
lower fee for Half Year and Quarterly permits.

Full Year Half Year Quarterly
Permit Fee* $1,954 $1,124 $691
Each Additional Vehicle $1,446 $723 $361
*Includes one vehicle.
