INITIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPORTUNIN (WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WH`n:
As required in the Legislative Code, sanitary sewer rates must be set annually. The Sewer Division's budget is
showing only an inflauonary increase; however, the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services is raising their
treatment charges by 4.5%.
Public Works is proposing a 3.5% increase in sanitary rates and a 2% increase in the Storm Sewer System Charge.
This increase will add $7.00 to a typical homeowner's annual sanitary sewer bill and it will add $1.00 to their
annual storm sewer bill.
AOVANTAGESIFAPPflOVED:
The new rates will provide an adequate revenue to operate and maintain the City's sewer system. Approving the
resolution will also satisfy the Ciry's legal requirement to set sanitary sewer rates annually.
DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVED:
Thexe will be an increase in sanitary and storm sewer rates.
DISA�VANTAGES IF NOT APPROVED:
The Sewer Fund wIl1 not have adequate revenues to pay the increased MCES cost and to operate the Ciry's sewer
system in an effective and cost effective mamier. �.,� ���.
