INITIATIN(3 PROBLEM,ISSUE,OPPORTUNITY(Who,What,When,Where,Why):
Letter from Metropolitan Council Environmental Services informing Government Agencies of
new SAC Charge from $900.00 to $950.00 for 1997. The full SAC is paid by the builder or
property owner. Therefore, passing the increased charge to them would not be a change
in the City's policy.
(Letter from MCES is attached)
ADVANTAOE3 IF APPROVED:
The increase in SAC Unit Charges for the new year is not a new procedure and should be
expected by the builder or property owner. However, if the City of Saint Paul paid the
increase, it would cost the City $30,000.00 in 1997 if the same number of SAC charges
are made as in 1996.
DISADVANTAOES IF APPROVED:
Increase of $50.00 to property owner or builder from rate in previous year.

SUBJECT: 1997 SAC RATE
The Metropolitan Council - Environmental Services has established the 1997 SAC rates.
Effective January 1, 1997, the SAC rate will be $950 for most communities, and $885 for g
communities who do not have metropolitan interceptor service. These communities are
� Cottage Grove, Hastings and Stillwater. The 1997 rates reflect an increase of$50 and
$65, respectively.
SAC is collected by your community as users connect to the Metropolitan Disposal
System or as a user's potential or peak sewage increases. The SAC funds collected pay
for the reserve capacity portion of the debt service incurred to expand and improve
sewer facilities. These facilities provide the sewer collection and treatment service . .
stipulated for your community in the Metropolitan Council's comprehensive sewer plan.
If you have any questions, please contact Sandra Selby at 229-2118. Your cooperation
is greatly appreciated.
