HomeMy WebLinkAboutRE Hotels Motels for Sewer Study (10)John, Attached is a list of the hotel/motel customers we were able to identify. Here is a breakdown of the items we will need your assistance on: 1. Radisson Resort: there are 4 meters. Please identify which meters serve the hotel rooms as these will be billed as Rental Property (we think Locations numbers 132122 & 132124 based on the last rate study). Then, please identify if any of the other meters serve restaurants or other commercial purposes as these will still be billed as commercial meters based on their meter size. 2. Cocoa Beach Motel: this has the same address listed as the Radisson Resort. In the last rate study, it was assumed that this account was part of the Radisson Hotel. Can you please do some research on this account (acct. # 86003) and let us know what the situation is. 3. For ALL of the hotel/motel customers, please verify the number of lodging units. a. I am still looking through our old data for where the lodging units were provided, if I find documentation I will pass it along. 4. Lastly, please let us know if we missed any hotel/motel customers that need to be part of the analysis. Thanks! Please feel free to contact Mike or I if you have any questions.

(b) shown in part below already provides for Rental Property, specifically “hotel or motel property”. It does not distinguish between suites, kitchenettes, etc. Each dwelling unit is equal to .75 ERU. Commercial classification is specifically for “nonresidential” so hotels and motels cannot be classified as Commercial. Either the code needs to be revised or Cocoa needs to correct their billing process to conform with existing code. The 2012 rate study specifically review the different classification and it was determined that the rental property classification was needed and appropriate. The rental property classification was reviewed with staff, discussed at a public hearing and approved by City Council. I realize the sensitivity of this matter as the correct rates will result in higher monthly bills for these customers (my understanding that there is a limited number of around 7 to 9). I would suggest that: 1. we get an accurate count of these customers; 2. identify the last 12 months of billings; 3. compute what the billings should have been; 4. discuss with David Greene; and 5. identify a course of action. Please let us know how you want to proceed and feel free to call if you want to discuss.

Let me know asap, if this is a showstopper----------what do we need to get this thing moving? Also, are you assuming that these hotels and suites do not have kitchenettes, etc.????

The coding of commercial is for the billing rate. Typically the rate structure embraces multi-family, commercial, governmental, schools, hotels, vacant land, etc. – it’s a catch all for everything that isn’t in the residential rate structure. I’d rather not establish a new “rental” class if the rates are identical to that of commercial because that’s a new subset of rate codes I have to maintain. If you are going to introduce a new rate structure that bills differently then we will need to explore.

However the code for Cape Canaveral defines these entities as falling in the Rental Property category. As a result, to stay in line with our code(Attached) this warrants the classification to be changed to Rental for: The Radisson, Country Inn Suites, Cape Caribe, Residence Inn, and Homewood Suites. Based on this , Obviously, the study done by Raftelis in February 2012 did not inquire, mention or take this into account. I am glad this has been brought to my attention, but my predecessors were unaware of this. I recommend we update these accounts………………………..any thoughts here? Thanks, John P.S.--------I believe we are coming to an end for this study---------Raftelis-------------seems to have everything they need--------aside from these codes being updated. <http://www.cityofcapecanaveral.org/> Launch your connection… <https://www.facebook.com/CityofCapeCanaveralC:/Users/j.deleo/Documents/ Custom%20Office%20Templates> <https://www.instagram.com/cityofcapecanaveral/> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/city-of-cape-canaveral-the> <https://twitter.com/CapeCanaveralFL> Florida has a very broad public records law.
