<br />--------- <br /> <br /> <br />SANITARY SEWER UTILITY <br /> <br />The maintenance of the city sanitary sewer lines and lift <br />stations are the responsibility of the Public Works Dept. The <br />maintenance program involves inspections, flushing and cleaning . <br />of sewer lines and inspections and routine maintenance of sewer . <br />lift stations. <br /> <br />Sanitary sewer service is presently provided to approximately <br />2,428 customers. Billing for sewer service in handled by a <br />computer service bureau with payments mailed to city Hall. <br /> <br />COMMENTS <br />Residential sewer rates were raised from $27.16 per quarter to <br />$31.23 per quarter, and commercial/industrial from $1.46 to <br />$1.68 per 1,000 gallons, effective July 1, 1987. <br /> <br />301 Audit fees have not previously been charged to the Sewer <br />Fund. However, beginning with 1992, the audit fees will <br />now be spread equally between the General Fund <br />administrative area, Water and Sewer Funds. <br /> <br />309 Additional costs have been budgeted here in 1992 for <br />inclusion of vacation and sick balances entered directly on <br />employee payroll stubs. Beginning in 1992, all PPI charges <br />will now be split between administration, water and sewer <br />equally, except for the utility billings which will <br />continue to be charged only to water and sewer. <br /> <br />360 This line item is for the property casualty insurance . <br />(general liability and blanket bond) and the workmen's <br />compensation insurance. There will not be any increase in <br />rates for the property casualty insurance in 1992 per North <br />Star Risk Services, administrator of the program. The <br />workmen's compensation rates will increase 5% in 1992 per <br />Berkley Company, program administrator. Additionally, <br />workmen's compensation rates are based on the city's total <br />payrollj as salaries increase, so does the rate. Beginning <br />in 1992, these costs will be split 1/3 each between the <br />General Fund, Water and Sewer Funds. <br /> <br />362 This is .a new line item in 1991. Expenses are charged here <br />which are associated with losses the City has had to pay <br />relating to sewer back-up problems. Previously, these <br />expenses were charged to #437 miscellaneous expenses. <br /> <br />363 This is a new line item for 1992. This line item is <br />designed to account for any losses which occur from vehicle <br />accidents involving City owned vehicles. Previously, these <br />expenses were charged to account #437 miscellaneous <br />expenses. <br /> <br />384 It appears this study will be conducted by the County in <br />1992, rather than in 1991 as previously thought. <br /> <br />385 A 15.5% increase is budgeted for 1992 based on an increased . <br />estimated flow of 445 million gallons in 1992, compared <br />with 435 million gallons in 1991. <br /> <br /> <br />98 <br />
