Gentlemen: .
1 herewith present a pcoposed Sewer Service Fund Budget and a i-ecommended
sewer service rate schedule to cove� the anticipated co.sts,:
_ Following is the expenditures compariso� of the 1974 anci 1Q75 Sewer Se�vice
Fund Budgets: : �
1974 • ' 1Q75
Metropolitan Sewer Board Charge $ 4,523,653•°2 $ 4,��8,552.31
Debt Payment Credit 30,186.0� - 112,331 .00
Sewer Mai�tenance Budget _ 95�,�00.00 1 ,188,0�b.00
Collection Costs 120,004.00 15�,50�.��
Administrative Costs 36,804.00 3.9,56f�.�0
' $ 5,66�,643.�2 S 6,179,�45.31
The major increases a�e the Metropolitan Sewer Board charge (S164,898) and
City's Sewer Maintenance Budqet ($:220,292) . The Sewer Board charge would
be considerably more except for a `credit of S1 ,112,445 for the over payment
in 1973. This credit is due to an over estimate of St. Paul 's flow by the
Sewer Board. Although our consumption continues to decrease, the Metro
Se��er 8oard treatment costs continue to increase, and, therefore, our gross
bill and net bill afte� credits increases. The increase in the Sewer Main-
tenance Budqet is substa�tially due to the inclusion this year of the fringe
benefit costs.
- The following is a comparison of 1974 and 1975 revenue:
- 1q74 1g75
Sewer Service Rate income $ 5,3�5,���•�� $ 6,179,�45,0�

Since establishinn a sewer service charge based on volume, the city has con-
sistentty maintained a step rate. 1 concur with this philosophy, and the �
following is my recomner.dation for 1975 rates with a comparison of 1971 rates
the first year rates were based on volumes.
, ifference
1971 1q75 � ncrease Increase
The first '1 ,000,000 cubic feet .22 .35 -� � .13 6�q
� The next 200,0�0 cubic feet .20 .32 �=� .12 6fi9;
The next 200,�00 cubic feet .17 .29 ��5 .12 709;
The next 5��,000 cubic feet .13 .26 ��-3 .13 100q
A11 over i ,000,000 cublc feet .10 .23 ��tbS .13 1309;
in developing this report it became obvious that the city is in need of a -
Management Information System. Some pe�tinent data was difficult to extra-
polate from the present Water Department Billing Operation.
It is our recortmendation that computertzation of this billing system be
. given high priority in the city's data processing plan which is now being
studied. �
Considerations have been given to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
rules and regulations and the Metropolitan Sewer Board policies with reqard
to rate structures. The lQ7b step rates were approved by ttie Metropolitan ,
Sewer Board.
These rates are the same as Minneapolis rates which are in effect.
Yours very truly, - -
