discontent between Council members hindered economic development.

budgetary standpoint. Chief Ezell stated he understood, but he was looking at this from the safety side.
Alderman Saunders asked how we are changing the situation by upping the pay grade and not upping the
amount of fire fighters. Chief Ezell stated the battalion chief would not be fighting fires, they would be in
charge of the fire scene.
Alderman Lewis asked if we did this now, would 3 more fire fighters be needed in 2016. Chief Ezell stated yes,
but at that point he would apply for a SAFER Grant. Chief Ezell stated a SAFER Grant covers the additional
staff for 2 years and then on the third year the City would have to start paying the salaries.

all told.

Thompson stated that in our current financial position she did not see this as a viable option at this time.
Alderman Vaprersan stated he struggles with this personally. He stated he sees the need, but not the funds.
Alderman Saunders stated this seems to be a staffing problem and not a promotion issue and suggested just
assigning the duty to someone on the scene. Mayor Watson stated that could end up causing overtime
problems. Alderman Kelley stated the battalion chief position would be exempt and not draw overtime.

scenario. Chief Ezell stated he is looking at reaching 80- 100 people per year.

Fund to make it balance this year.

189, 000 from the General

job of educating the people on what this fee is. He stated it was important that the City keep their ISO rating
low to attract businesses.
Judy Keller, Director of Community and Economic Development, confirmed that fire protection was a major
factor in industries locating in Maumelle.
Alderman Lewis stated the revenue has been identified just not realized. Alderman Lewis also stated that low
taxes attract businesses as well. He stated this was an attempt to modernize the way we do things.

building permit fees as a way to realize more revenue.

Alderman Kelley stated he thought the workshop was premature would like to have another one where everyone
could attend.
Alderman Saunders stated we need definitive income first before we pass this.

spending. He stated this was reducing the fee slowly and encouraged the Council to commit to it.
Alderman Vaprersan suggested waiting until the first of the year to see where our budget is.

Marketplace Fairness Act could be a replacement revenue source but it hasn' t happened yet.

Ordinance 883
What is PACE?
Property Assessed Clean Energy, or PACE, is a creative funding mechanism that allows property
owners to borrow money for energy efficiency, renewable energy or water conservation
improvements to their property.
Local PACE programs are administered by Energy Improvement District Boards, which are
established by, but operate legally and financially independent of, municipal organizations.
The Pulaski County Energy Improvement District will encompass the entirety of Pulaski County,
Arkansas. According to Arkansas' s PACE enabling legislation the district should be managed
by a Board of Directors composed of a minimum of seven( 7) directors and should meet at least
quarterly.
The District Board will establish procedures by which they will operate and may work with a
third-party administrator to create program guidelines, oversee day-to- day operations, recruit
participating qualified contractors, and publicize innovative financing opportunities.
How does the financing of projects work?
Participation by property owners is entirely voluntary. Once a property owner decides to make a
qualified
improvement
to
his property,
a
PACE loan
will
pay for 100% of the project and a
PACE lien item will be added to the property assessment. PACE liens will be paid on an annual
basis with property taxes until the PACE loan is satisfied.
What is a qualified improvement?
The project must increase energy efficiency of a property, produce renewable energy, or
conserve water. An evaluation of the property must determine utility cost absent the
improvement and utility cost savings once the improvement is implemented. The difference
between utility cost before and after the project is the utility cost saving. A licensed and qualified
contractor must provide a cost estimate of the materials and labor to complete the project.
According the Arkansas' s enabling statute, in order for a project to be approved, it must be " cash
flow
positive"—
meaning the cost of the improvement must be less than the cost of the utility
cost saving.
Where does the money for project funding come from?
That depends on the decisions of the District Board. Energy Improvement Districts are
authorized to borrow private funds, public funds or issue bonds. Several districts, including the
City of Fayetteville, are third-party administered by turn-key operations that include private
funding
of
PACE
projects.

City Ordinance Number 271
Responsibility of the City Council to Maumelle ratepayers
Dear Council Members, Mayor Watson&
City Attorney Norris:
The City of Maumelle appears poised to surrender its sovereign power to regulate water rates to
the Maumelle Suburban Improvement District(" MWM")
and its successor entity the Maumelle
Public Water Authority(" the PWA"). Both are requesting the City repeal Ordinance Number
271 which requires MWM to obtain the approval from the City Council before it can increase
water rates. According to MWM, repeal of this Ordinance is necessary in order that it can
expeditiously raise water rates in order to support a$ 22 million bond issue. The bonds would be
used to pay off MWM' s existing debt and finance capital improvements. The bond issue is an
integral part of the asset sale from MWM to the PWA. The parties are hoping to complete the
sale transaction and bond issue" by early summer while bond rates remain low."
Except for Alderman Mosley, members of the City Council have largely been passive about
MWM and the regulation of water. A number are under the impression that the City does not
have the authority to approve water rates set by an Improvement District or a Public Water
Authority. There is also a noticeable lack of concern about the adverse impact of$22 million in
bonds claimed to be necessary to pay off MWM' s long term debt and finance critical capital
improvements.
The Council' s apparent belief that it lacks the authority to regulate water rates stems from a 2014
legal opinion written by former Maumelle City Attorney JaNan Davis. As the discussion below
will
demonstrate, this
opinion cannot withstand
legal
analysis.
A.
The City of Maumelle has the legal authority to regulate and
approve rates charged by utilities supplying water within its city
limits
Arkansas cities have jurisdiction to:
D]etermine the terms and conditions upon which the public utility may be permitted to
occupy the streets, highways, or other public places within the municipality, including
without limitation:
a) The rates, quality, and character of each kind of product or service to be furnished or
rendered by a public utility.
Ark. Code Ann. § 14- 200- 101( b)( 1)( A)(i).)
A" public utility" under this statute is defined as:
A]ny electric, gas, sewer or telephone company, and any company providing similar
services . . . . (
Both MWM
and
Ark. Code Ann. § 14- 200- 101( a).)
the PWA have
or will provide" sewer" and" similar services"—
i.e. water. Both
are" companies" because that term can encompass any number of different organizational forms.
See Ops A.G. 2003- 172 at 4 where the Attorney General found MWM was a company that
provided" similar services" and was subject to franchise fees which the City of Maumelle had
the power to impose.)
There are only three exceptions to the meaning of" public utilities" as used in this statute. They
are:
1)
A
public
utility supplying
cellular
telecommunications
under §
23- 1-
101( 9)( B)( ii).
2)
A Consolidated utility district( 14- 217- 101)
3)
Water
or
light
commissions established
by
cities of the
first
class (
14- 201- 101
MWM and the PWA do not fall under any of these three exceptions. They are therefore" public
utilities" whose rates are subject
to
municipal control under
Section 14- 200- 101( b). This
conclusion also follows from the principle of statutory interpretation known as expressio unius
est exclusio alterius or the expression of one thing is the exclusion of the other. Here, the
Legislature excepted only three categories of public utilities from municipal control. That means
all others were not excepted. The all others not excepted include MWM and the PWA.
2
B.
The Arkansas Attorney General Muddies the Waters
The former Maumelle City Attorney reached the opposite conclusion. She did this because she
looked at the wrong statutes. She also impermissibly interjected her own policy arguments in
favor of non-oversight. The first part of her opinion tracked an earlier one issue by Attorney
General Dustin McDaniel concerning the
City
of Cherokee
Village. ( See Ops. A.G. 2011- 109.)
That opinion focused on the term" company" found in the laws governing the Public Service
Commission(" PSC").
These laws are in a different Title of the Arkansas Code and do not
govern municipalities. Nonetheless, the Attorney General quoted the following language from
Ark. Code Ann. § 23- 1- 101( 9)( A) found in the PSC statutes:
Public
Utility' includes
persons and corporations . . .
owning or operating in this state
equipment or facilities for:
ii) diverting, developing, pumping, impounding, distributing, or furnishing water to or
for the
public
for
compensation.
However, nothing in this subdivision shall be
construed to include water facilities and equipment of cities and towns in the
definition
He then
of public
utility. (
concluded that" the
provides water
PSC
Op. Ag. at 4 [ Emphasis added by Attorney General].)
appears . . .
from the definition
to exclude every publicly-owned public utility that
of a" public
utility."
Based on this reasoning, the Attorney
General found that the Board that provided water to Cherokee Village was not a" public utility."
Ops. A.G. at 4.)
This conclusion is wrong for several reasons.
1)
The definition the Attorney General relied on only excluded" water facilities and
equipment of cities and towns."
Water facilities of cities and towns are not the
same as water facilities of an outside entity such as MWM.
2)
The definitions and terms of Section 23- 1- 101 only applied to the
jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission. They do not define the powers of
municipalities.
3)
The Attorney General' s interpretation is counter intuitive. It in essence means
that" Every publicly-owned utility is not a public utility."
4)
The definition the Attorney General cited is limited to the particular Act
governing the PSC. Section 23- 1- 101 of that Act begins with the following
language preceding the definitions in question:
As used in this act. . . .
3
Those words are words of limitation. The Legislature inserts them to limit the
particular definitions to the statute in question. It means the definitions should not
be applied to other Titles or Acts in the Arkansas Code.
5)
The fact that a particular class of utilities is excluded from the jurisdiction of the
PSC has nothing to do with whether municipalities have jurisdiction over them
for rate-making purposes.
In spite of this, the Attorney General did not reach a definitive conclusion on whether the City of
Cherokee Village could regulate an outside utility. He noted that Arkansas Code Annotated
Section 14- 200- 101( a) governs the power of municipality to regulate outside utilities. He also
noted there were only three specific types of public utilities exempted. He further observed that:
T] he fact that the legislature specifically excluded these [ three] kinds of entities suggests
that `public utility,' as used in the [ municipal] franchise-fee context, is broader than the
term when
used
in the PSC
context. (
Ops. A.G. at 6.)
In other words, this" broader" definition would encompass every public utility not specifically
excepted from Section 14- 200- 101( a).
The Attorney General' s analysis is understated. Not only does it" suggest" a broader definition
of" public
utility," it compels one. The definition of" public utility" in the municipal franchisefee statute encompasses rather than excludes entities such as MWM and the PWA. Therefore, if
the second phase of the Attorney General' s analysis were followed, the only logical conclusion is
that MWM and the PWA are subject to rate regulation by the City of Maumelle.
Despite all this, the Attorney General could not reach this obvious conclusion: namely, that the
utility in
question was a covered public
utility. Instead, he
punted.
He
wrote: "[
T] he arguments
for and against each of these views are fairly evenly matched. Thus, I cannot conclusively opine
on your question."
C.
The City Attorney' s Opinion
The City Attorney incorporated this inconclusive Attorney General opinion into hers. She
concurred with the first part finding the utility in question was exempt from municipal regulation
but disagreed with the second part finding no such exemption.
There is no legal basis for her conclusion. It is based on speculation, fabricated legislative intent
and a lack of any independent legal analysis.
With respect to the Attorney General' s second or alternate conclusion that there could be a
of" public
utility," the City Attorney peremptorily stated that:
broader definition
Based on my review, I find no merit in the `exception to the exception' argument [ of the
Attorney General]. ( Opinion at 5.)
4
Yet the City Attorney never explains why there was" no merit" in that argument. She went on to
conclude that:
It is clear that there is no specific statutory authority or case law which directly answers
this
question. (
Id.)
That authority was staring her directly in the face. Ark. Code Ann. § 14- 200- 101 only exempts
three specific categories of public utilities from municipal control. That means all others are
subject to it. Neither MWM nor the PWA fall under one of these exemptions. Therefore, their
ratemaking is subject to municipal oversight and control. The Attorney General even suggested
as much. But the City Attorney could find" no specific statutory authority."
With respect to the PWA, the City Attorney makes the same analytical mistake as did the
Attorney General. She stated that:
A PWA is exactly the sort of`publically-owned' public utility which is excluded from
PSC
statutes. (
Opinion at 5.)
That is beside the point. Exclusion from PSC jurisdiction is not a criteria for determining which
public utilities are excluded from municipal oversight.
PSC statutes do not govern the delegated authority granted to municipalities by the Legislature.
Nor do statutes governing the formation of PWAs. Nothing in any of the enabling legislation of
PWAs, Suburban Improvement Districts or the Public Service Commission addresses the issue
of whether bodies falling under that legislation are subject to municipal control. The one statute
that does is found in the Chapter of the Arkansas Code governing municipalities. That statute is
Ark. Code Ann. Section 14- 200- 101.
It clearly subjects public utilities such as MWM and the
PWA to the jurisdiction of municipalities.
D.
Past History is Not Controlling
The City Attorney' s reliance on the history of the City of Maumelle and MWM with respect to
water rates likewise misses the mark. Understandings of past City Councils are immaterial.
Similar arguments were also rejected by the Arkansas Supreme Court in Delony v. Rucker, 227
Ark. 869, 302 S. W. 2d 287 ( 1957). There, the argument was made that higher water rates being
charged by the City of Little Rock constituted an impairment of a contract. The Arkansas
Supreme Court rejected this argument. It held that:
A]n agreement fixing public utility rates to be charged in the future is subject to the
sovereign' s reserve power of rate regulation and must yield
to that power. ( 302 S. W. 2d
at 290.)
The sovereign in this case was the City, not the Water and Light District that challenged its rates.
The same result was reached in Skallerup v. City ofHot Springs, 2009 Ark. 276, 309 S. W. 3d
196( 2009). Skallerup contended that the City was estopped from imposing new rates because of
5
a prior agreement and promises it had made. Again, the Supreme Court rejected this argument
and held that:
A] n
agreement
fixing
public
utility
rates
to be charged . . . is subject to the sovereign' s
reserved power of rate regulation and must yield to the exercise of that power.'
Citing a previous case, the Court noted that:
W]e recognized the city' s plenary duty to exercise its police power in the interest of the
public
health
and
safety
of its
inhabitants. . . . The police power of the state is founded in
necessity and this necessity must exist in order to justify its exercise. . . . The
State has authorized the municipalities to legislate under the police power in Ark. Code
Ann. § 14- 55- 102 ( 1987). That section provides, ` Municipal corporations shall have the
public
power to make and publish bylaws and ordinances, not inconsistent with the laws of this
state, which, as to them, shall seem necessary to provide for the safety, preserve the
health, promote the prosperity, and improve the morals, order, comfort, and convenience
of such corporations and the inhabitants thereof.'
It is clear that a city may not contract away its power and obligation to charge
reasonable rates for municipal service. (
E.
309 S. W. 3d
at
202— 03.[ Emphasis added].)
The Obligation of the City Council
Ordinance No. 271 did not" grant" the City the power regulate water rates. The City was given
that power by the Arkansas Legislature through statutory law. Ordinance 271 simply recognized
and implemented the City' s authority to do this.
The City of Maumelle not only has the statutory power to regulate the rates charged by outside
public utilities such as MWM and the PWA, but it has a legal obligation to do so. Unfortunately,
the City Council has historically abandoned its responsibility and defaulted to MWM in these
matters. It is no answer to say that MWM' s board now includes two Aldermen from the City of
Maumelle. That is nothing more than political window dressing. Those two Aldermen
constitute a minority of the MWM board. The original, unelected majority of three water
commissioners is still in control.
The City Council with the exception of Alderman Mosley now appears ready to further
capitulate by repealing Ordinance 271 and giving MWM and the PWA carte blanche authority to
set water rates for the City of Maumelle. According to MWM, unless this is done a" legal cloud"
could complicate
the anticipated
rate
increases
and the"
marketability
of the
bonds." MWM and
the PWA also urge that this should be done on an expedited basis so they can take advantage of
favorable bond rates.
The reason for the new bonds is to" pay approximately$ 12 million to MSID to pay off its
existing debt
and to generate$
critical capital
improvements
10 million in new funds for the PWA to use to pay for the most
needs."
These statements should raise numerous red flags for
every Council Member. For example:
6
1)
Why has MWM accumulated approximately$ 12 million in existing debt while at
the same time allowing its infrastructure to be in a current state of disrepair?
2)
The need to upgrade the MWM infrastructure did not happen overnight. By
MWM' s own admission, some of its facilities are over 45 years old. Why has
MWM apparently waited until now to address this problem with the City?
3)
Are the ratepayers and citizens of Maumelle expected to bear the financial burden
to be
by MWM? This
question is particularly critical because for years MWM has insisted and
continues to maintain that it is beyond the control of the people of this City.
of what appears
years of mismanagement and neglect
The last thing the City Council needs to be considering at this juncture is a repeal of Ordinance
No. 271.
Its legal obligation is not to MWM and the PWA but to the citizens and ratepayers of
the City of Maumelle. If the Council intends to simply rubber- stamp the planned transition of
these entities and the planned bond issue, then in my opinion it will be derelict in its duties and
obligations to the people who elected them-
the ratepayers and citizens of Maumelle and also
make the City vulnerable to future litigation.
Sincerely,

former and present Maumelle City Council Members Burch Johnson and. Preston
Lewis are members of the PWA Board of Directors and one or the other or both of
them have been present at most of the MSID Board of Commissioners meetings

the PWA was approved by Order of the Pulaski County Court on December 2,

the PWA issuing revenue bonds in an amount sufficient to pay MSID a sum of

Additionally, MSID has identified
approximately $ 30 million in capital improvements needs to upgrade its aging

will be based entirely upon MSID' s historical record of operations and finances

next couple of weeks.

however, even without the

depreciation deduction, MSID' s net income for 2014 would provide insufficient
funds for a debt service ratio to support a $ 22 million bond issue by the PWA.
There are several reasons for this shortfall the most significant of which are lower
water usage due to a wetter than usual 2014 and the cost of complying with
unfunded state and federal govermnental regulatory mandates. Additionally, there
have been unanticipated higher maintenance expenses for repairs to the aging
water and sewer facilities.
All of the foregoing background information leads us to the point of this
letter -- MSID has to have a rate increase in order to enable the PWA to issue the
22 million in revenue bonds to complete the asset sale from MSID to the PWA
and to generate sufficient
funds to finance
critical capital
improvement
needs.
As
you are aware, the City of Maumelle still has in its Code of Ordinances, Ordinance
No. 271, adopted in 1995,. which granted the City Council the authority to approve
rates and other terms and conditions for products and services provided by MSID.
By Memorandum dated May 14, 2014,. the Maumelle City Attorney issued a
written opinion to Alderman Steve Mosley with copies delivered to the Mayor and
the other members of the City Council that the City Council does not have the
authority to regulate the water/sewer rates established by the proposed Public
Water Authority. Unfortunately, the PWA has no assets or operations on which to
base a rate increase and the required rate increase to issue the new bonds must be
fully adopted for the sale transaction and the bond issue to close. MSID' s
last rate increase was in 2011 and it took well over a year from its request by
MSID to obtain the City' s final approval. The purpose of this letter is to request
that the City act expeditiously to repeal Ordinance No. 271 so that MSID may
adopt the necessary rate increase to support the $ 22 million bond issue by the
in
place
PWA to
close
the
sale transaction with
MSID.
The plan is for MSID' s General
Manager and Engineer to confer and to consider all available financial information
to
recommend

of the
rate

to
the
MSID
Board
of
Commissioners which will be able to act promptly provided that Ordinance No.

MSID' s non- compliance with Ordinance No 271 does not
appear to be a viable option since non- compliance with the Ordinance could create
a legal cloud on any rate increase which could jeopardize the marketability of the
bonds issued by the PWA and thus, jeopardize the sale of assets to the PWA.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
