Initiating Pro6lem, lssues, Opportunity (Who, Whai, When, Where, Why):
As required in The I.egislative Code, sanitary sewer rates must be set annually. Proposed saniTary sewer rates will increase by 5%o and
the Storm Sewer System Charge will increase by 10% for 2008. Tlus increase is necessary because MCES rates for 2008 aze
increasing and because other costs aze increasing due to mandates and inflation, and the Utility needs to reduce its dependence on
reserves.
AdvaMages If Approved:
The current rates wIll ptovide adequate revenue to opera[e and maintain the Ciry's sewer system. Approving the resolution will also
satisfy the City's legal requirement to set sanitary sewer rates annually.

None

TO: CITY MANAGERS AND ADMRIISTRATORS
SUBJECT: SERVICE AVAILABILITY CHARGE (SAC) RATE
The Metropolitan Council has adopted an increase in the MCES SAC rate. EffecUve
Juniaty 1, 2008, the new basic MCES SAC rate will be $1,8�25.
The MCES SAC rate to be paid by your Local Government to MCES is the rate in effect
at the time of paytnent on the buildang or sewer connection permit regardless of when the
permitting process began. In December, if you have permit applications near completion
and are passing this increase through to applicants, you may want to explicifly notify
them of the pending rate increase.
Your community collects a local (or retail) SAC as users connect to the metropolitan
wastewater system for the first time or as a user's potential sewage increases. The MCES
(or wholesale) SAC is paid to the Council on the same basis. The SAC funds we collect
pay for the reserve capacity (unused) portion of the capital costs of the metropolitan
wastewater system as specified in Minn. Statutes section 473.517 (3).
If you have any financial questions, please feel free to contact me at (651) 602-1196. For
SAC procedural questions, please contact Sandra Selby at (651) 602-ll 18 ar read the
SAC procedure manual on our web site at:
www.metrocouncil.org/environmenURatesBillinglSAC_Program.htm.
As always, your cooperation is greatiy appreciated.
Sincerely,
