December 12, 1980
Honorable Ron Maddox, President
and Members of the City Council
7th Fioor City Hail
Dear President Maddox:
I am transmitting a resolution outlining the proposed 1981 Sewer Service
Budget Fund and Sewer Service Rates for your approval , along with a copy
of a letter to me from Donald E. Nygaard, Director of Public Works, with back-
ground information and his recommendation. These rates must be approved by
the end of the year in order to provide the city with adequate revenue to
finance this critical service in 1981 . The proposed rates cannot be submitted
for your approval any earlier in the year since we must await approval of the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission's budget and their subsequent submission
of the cost allocation to the city.
The proposed rate increase of 24� represents one of the largest that we have had.
The high increase is due primarily to an increased cost from the Metropolitan .
Waste Control Commission and a reduction of billing units of inetered water
consumption.
Even though our billing units of inetered water is reducing, our metered flow at
the sewage treatment plant does not decrease at the same rate. This is due
primarily to a probable increase in lake overflows which are included in St. Paul 's
sewage quantity. Progress is being made towards realocating the cost of treating
this storm water and will be discussed fully as another Councii agenda item
the same day as this rate hearing.
I recommend the approval of the resolution establishing the 1981 sewer service
rate.
Sincerely yours,
George time
Mayor

Honorable Geroge Latimer
Mayor of the City of St. Paul
347 City Hall
Dear Mayor Latimer:
Attached for your approval and transmittal to the City Council is the recommended
1981 Sewer Service Fund Budget and 1981 Sewer Service Rate Schedule to cover the
anticipated expenditures. This matter is set for public hearing on Tuesday,
December 16th.
A comparison of the 1980 and 1981 Sewer Service Fund Budgets is as follows:
1980 1981
Metropolitan Waste Control
Commission Charges $ 7,953,479.03 $ 9,781,488.00 + 2 3•0%
Debt Payment Credit 94,925.00 93,937.00 — �•��e
Sewer Administration and
Maintenance Budget 1,960,490.00 2,153,015.00 t 9•)%
Collection Costs 260,000.00 295,000.00 + 13. 5 7v
Implementing Improved Refund
Procedure 400,000.00 -0- �
$10,668,894.03 $12,323,440.00 �' i5•5%
The sewer service charges for 1981 will increase an average of 24� over the 1980
sewer service charges. Aside from inflation, there are two principal reasons for
this increase; decreased city metered water consumption and increased charges from
the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission.
First, due to a 1981 projected industrial reduction of approximately 1,000,000
billing units (CCF) of city metered water consumption, the basis of our charges
for sewer service, revenue in 1981 will decrease substantially over 1980.
�O
. �� � ��r�.�� }'�„�
Honorable George Latimer -2- December 12, 1980
Secondly, the 1981 Metropolitan Waste Control Commission charges have increased
17� over 1980 charges. In addition to this increase, the city received a credit
of $628,292 in 1980 for overpayment of 1978 charges. The credit in 1981, for
overpayment of 1979 charges, is $195,237.
Since establishing a sewer service charge based on volume in 1971, the city has
maintained a step rate structure. Consistent with this policy, the following
rates are recommended for 1981. I have included a comparison of the 1980 rates
and the proposed 1981 rates. 1980 1981
Present Proposed Percent
Rate Rate Increase
* *
First 100,000 cubic feet $0.69 $0.84 21.7�
Next 200,000 cubic feet 0.665 0.815 22.6�
Next 200,000 cubic feet 0.635 0.785 23.6�
Next 500,000 cubic feet 0.60 0.75 25.0�
All over 1,000,000 cubic feet 0.57 0.72 26.3�
*
Per 100 cubic feet
The increase for a home owner with average water use will be $3.75 per quarter
(billing period) .
This proposed rate structure will conform to the rules and regulations of the Environ-
mental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission's
policies regarding sewer service rate structures.
