A. Wastewater Service Charge. There shall be charged to and collected from all premises
within the oihv served by the city wastewater system a wastewater service charge composed of
a monthly ready-to-serve charge and a volume charge based on either the quantity of water
supplied to the premises or, if metered, the quantity nf wastewater discharged into the
wastewater sewer system. In addidon, e strong waste surcharge shall be charged to and
collected from all premises served by the city wastewater system that discharge wastewater
exceeding the domestic strength thresholds set forth in subsection B of this section; provided,
that in no event shall the total wastewater service charge be less than the minimum charge set
forth in the City of Yakima Master Fee Schedule adopted by city council via resolution.
/1\ Wastewater Service Charge—Schedules for Inside-City Customers. The wastewater
service charge for premises inside the city shall be calculated and charged according to the
schedule of rates set forth in the City of Yakima Master Fee Schedule adopted by city council
via resolution.
/a\ Ready-to-Serve Charges. For all customers other than multiple-unit residential customers
are set forth in the City of Yakima Master Fee Schedule adopted by city council via resolution.
For multiple-unit residential customers, the monthly ready-to-serve charge shall be based on the
number of accounts and the number of dwelling units, according to the rates set forth in the City
of Yakima Master Fee Schedule adopted by city council via resolution.
(b) Volume Charge. For all customers inside the oib, the volume charge shall be determined
by number of hundred cubic feet (coo of water consumed or, if metered, the number of ocfof
sewage disoharged, multiplied by the rates set forth in the City of Yakima Master Fee Schedule
adopted by city council via resolution.
/o\ Minimum Charge. In no event shall the total wastewater service charge be less than the
ready-to-serve charge for athree-quarter-inoh meter, except that customers beginning or ending
wastewater service shall have the ready-to-serve charge prorated to their number of days of
service during the billing period.
/2\ Wastewater Service Charge for Outside-City Customers. Minimum, naady'to-aerve, and
volume charges to premises located outside the city shall be one and one-half times the inside-
citynaheooetforthinauboection /A\/1\ ofthiooeodon.
B. Strong VVoshe Surcharge. For customers discharging wastewater which contains
more than three hundred parts per million (ppm) of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)
and/or total suspended solids JSS) and/or one hundred parts per million of fats, oils,
greases (FOG), there shall beasurcharge, in addition tu the naady-to-aeme charge and
the volume charge, which shall be calculated utilizing the national average values of BOD
and TSS concentrations typical to each classification under the Standard Industrial Code
or by actual concentrations verified by the city. If the customer chooege, at its gxpenee, to
install a sampling station, the strong waste charge shall be calculated based upon actual
oa
concentrations. Any testing done by the city may be charged at the rates set forth inYMC
7.00.105. The following formula shall be utilized hz calculate the strong waste surcharge:
Monthly surcharge for BOD or TSS or FOG equals (unit cost per pound of BOD or TSS or
FOG) drnea /8.34, which is the weight of one gallon of water) dnneo /ouahonner'a monthly
volume in one hundred cubic feet divided by one thousand three hundred thirty-seven)
times (customer's concentration of BOD or TSS or FOG in parts per million according to
[the national average values] or [verified concentrations], minus the domestic strength
threshold in parts per million, but not less than zero). The separate monthly surcharges for
BOD, TSS, and FOG shall be summed together to create the strong waste surcharge.
The unit cost per pound ufBDD. TSS and FOG will bgset forth in the City ufYakima
Master Fee Schedule adopted by city council via resolution,
Hypothetical example: In a given munth, a customer discharges 50 ccƒof wastewater
measured with BOD of 400 ppm, TSS of 350 ppm, and FOG of 80 ppm. This customer is
not charged a FOG surcharge because the customer's measured FOG is below the
domestic threshold. Assume a unit cost per pound of$0.5O80 for BC}[) and $0.5200for
TSS. The strong waste surcharge for the given month is calculated as follows:
BC}[) surcharge: $0.5080/poundx8.34x /50cuf- 1.337\ x /400ppm ' 300ppm\ = $17.72
TGSauroharge: $0.5206/poundx8.34x /50oof- 1.337\ x /350ppm - 300ppm\ = $8.21
Total strong waste surcharge: $17.72 + $8.21 = $25.93

/o\ Minimum Charge. In no event shall the total wastewater service charge be less
than the ready-to-serve charge for a three-quarter-inch meter, except that customers
beginning or ending wastewater service shall have the ready-to-serve charge
prorated to their number ufdays of service during the billing period.
(2) Wastewater Service Charge for Outside-City Customers. Minimum, ready-tV'serve,
and volume charges tu premises located outside the city shall bg one and one-half times
the inside-city rates set forth in subsection /A\/1\ of this section.
B. Strong Waste Surcharge. For customers discharging wastewater which contains more than
three hundred parts per million (ppm) of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and/or total
suspended solids JSS) and/or one hundred parts per million of fats, oils, greases (FOG), there
shall be asuruharge. in addition to the ready-to-serve charge and the volume charge, which
shall be calculated utilizing the national average values of BOD and TSS concentrations typical
tu each classification under the Standard Industrial Code orby actual concentrations verified by
the city. If the customer ohonses, at its expense, to install a sampling statiVn, the strong waste
charge shall be calculated based upon actual concentrations. Any testing done by the city may
be changed at the rates set forth inYMC 7,80,105. The following formula eho|| be utilized to
calculate the strong waste surcharge:
115
Monthly surcharge for BOD or TSS or FOG equals (unit cost per pound of BOD or TSS or FOG)
times (8.34, which is the weight of one gallon of water) times (customer's monthly volume in one
hundred cubic feet divided by one thousand three hundred thirty-seven) times (customer's
concentration of BOD or TSS or FOG in parts per million according to [the national average
values] or [verified concentrations], minus the domestic strength threshold in parts per million,
but not less than zero). The separate monthly surcharges for BOD, TSS, and FOG shall be
summed together to create the strong waste surcharge.
The unit cost per pound of BOO, TSS and FOG will be set forth in the City of Yakima Master
Fee Schedule adopted by city council via resolution,
In the foregoing formula, the applicable vim' are as follows:
Unit Co;t per Pound

pi i. 1�1 2

FOG r $0.4061 $0,4292
Hypothetical example: In a given month, a customer discharges 50 ccf of wastewater measured
with BOD of 400 ppm, TSS of 350 ppm, and FOG of 80 ppm. This customer is not charged a
FOG surcharge because the customer's measured FOG is below the domestic threshold.
Assume a unit cost per pound of$0.5680 for BOD and $0.5266 for TSS. The strong waste
surcharge for the given month is calculated as follows:
BOD surcharge: $0.5680/pound x 8.34 x (50 ccf_ 1,337) x (400 ppm - 300 ppm) = $17.72
TSS surcharge: $0.5266/pound x 8.34 x (50 ccf_ 1,337) x (350 ppm - 300 ppm) = $8.21
Total strong waste surcharge: $17.72 + $8.21 = $25.93

TO: Mayor and City Council

DATE: December 6, 2022
RE: Transition of fees and charges from various sections of Yakima Municipal Code to a
Master Fee Schedule
The City of Yakima fees and charges are found in over 50 different sections of
the Municipal Code. Through a collaborative effort between Finance and many
departments, Staff is presenting you with a red-lined version of various sections
of the Yakima Municipal Code where fees and charges are found. This act is to
compile fees and charges into one consolidated Master Fee Schedule. Having a
schedule of fees and charges is beneficial in the following ways.
➢ When someone requests how much it costs for an animal license or a
permit, staff can refer to the Master Fee schedule in the City's website
➢ When Council is asked whether the City charges for a specific service, you
can refer the residents to this Master Fee Schedule
➢ Every other year the City is asked to provide information to the Association
of WA Cities on its Tax and User Fees. Imagine how much simpler this
task would be for the handful of departments who complete this survey by
referring to one Master Fee Schedule instead of searching multiple areas
of the municipal code to complete a survey by the due date deadline.
Completing this survey is important, because it is a great tool for
municipalities to have for policy decisions, benchmarking, and or rate
setting.
➢ Research organizations frequently call to obtain information about taxes
and fees charged by the City of Yakima. With a Master Fee Schedule,
these research firms can help themselves instead of Staff taking the
time to respond to these requests
➢ The Master Fee Schedule can be updated as needed with new fees,
removal of charges that are no longer necessary, or future adjustments
➢ Overall, it is more efficient and more transparent

Having a consolidate fee schedule is also a standard practice in numerous
municipalities. In Washington State, the following cities have adopted a
consolidated fee schedule and or a Master Fee Schedule:
✓ City of Richland
✓ City of Tukwila
✓ City of Leavenworth
✓ City of Shoreline
✓ City of Toppenish
✓ City of Kennewick
✓ City of North Bend
✓ City of Monroe
✓ City of Gig Harbor
There are many others, larger and smaller municipalities that have transitioned to
a schedule of fees and charges.
Staff is recommending your approval of removing fees and charges from various
sections of the Yakima Municipal Code and compiling them into a consolidated
Master Fee Schedule for ease of access, efficiency, and transparency. This
document will be included as Exhibit A to a Resolution adopting the City of
Yakima Master Fee Schedule.
