D $84.18 Potential Adjustments and Reductions to Rates In addition to specifying a minimum distinction between categories of residential and non-residential uses, the ordinance provides for the City Manager to consider other factors in the TSMF rates to adjust or reduce the fee for categories of customers. Adjustments and reductions would be specified in the administrative rules adopted by the City Manager. Fee reductions allow for recognition of reduced usage or demand on the transportation system. For example, in implementing the rate methodology, reductions in fees can be allowed for nodal development or for businesses implementing transportation demand management strategies such as providing transit passes to employees. Further analyslrs is required to determine the appropriate types and amount of' reductions to include in the rate methodolo, gy, but it is important to give consideration to providing incentives and recognition for customers efforts to reduce demand on the transportation system. Next Steps Should an ordinance establishing a TSMF be approved, staff will proceed with the substantial work effort required to implement the fees as soon as feasible thereafter. The earliest possible date for implementation is likely July 1, 2005. The critical work elements for implementation include: · Update and evaluate data necessary to implement the rate methodology and establish fee amounts for all customers; · Work with EWEB to implement systems and methods to enable billing of the TSMF; · Develop administrative rules specifying rate methodology and adjustments; · Give notice of proposed fees and hold a public hearing; and · Prepare findings and administrative order implementing the fee.
