INITIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPORTUNITY (WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY):
As required in the I.egislative Code, sanitary sewer rates must be set annually. The Sewer Utility's budget is
showing only a minimal increase and the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services is decreasing their treatment
charges.
Public Works is therefore proposing a 0% increase in sanitary rates and a 0% increase in the Storm Sewer System
Chazge.
ADVANTAGES IF APPROVED:
The current rates will provide adequate revenue to operate and maintain the City's sewer system. Approving the
resolu6on will also satisfy the Ciry's legal requirement to set sani�ary sewer rates annually.
�
���i�?��� .��;,`2i
DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVED:
None
DISADVANTAGES IF NOTAPPROVED: �
The Sewer Fund will not have adequate revenues to pay MCES and to operate the City's sewer system in an effective
and cost effective manner.
