Title

A RESOLUTION CONCERNING SPENDING AFFORDABILITY LIMITS FOR THE WASHINGTON SUBURBAN SANITARY COMMISSION for the purpose of establishing spending control limits on the Fiscal Year 2017 Water and Sewer Operating and Capital Budgets of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC).

Background

In May 1993, The Prince Georges’ and Montgomery County Council Members agreed to establish a Working Group on WSSC Spending Controls.  A Council Member from each County was appointed to serve on the Working Group.  In January 1994, the Working Group issued their report calling for a spending affordability process and a better coordination of the land use and development processes with the Counties Ten Year Water and Sewerage Plans.  The Working Group’s recommendations were approved by both Councils and utilized for the first time in the formulation of the WSSC’s FY 1996 Operating and Capital Budgets and in each successive budget year.   This resolution establishes the limits for FY 2017, and the phase in of the Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Fees and the funding in FY 2017 of a Comprehensive Rate Study.
