INITIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPORTUNIN (WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHI�:
As required in the Legislative Code, sanitary sewer rates must be set annually. The Sewer Utilaty's budget is
showing only an inflationary increase and the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services is decreasing their
treatment charges.
Public Works is therefore proposing a 0% increase in sanitary rates and a 0% increase in the Storm Sewer System
Chazge.
ADVANTAGES IF APPROVED.
The current rates will provide an adequate revenue to operate and maintain the City's sewer system. Approving the
resolution will also satisfy the City's legal requirement to set sanitary sewer rates annually.
