MINUTES <br /> -AIQDEN HILLS <br /> 40 North gave an overview of the current utility rates then presented three new <br /> residential rate options as well as examples of future average quarterly bills. He <br /> also discussed the Comparative 2008 Utility Rates from Edina, Little Canada and <br /> Roseville to the three new residential rate options. <br /> Lastly,North presented the conclusions from this rates study. Two of the <br /> conclusions points are to adopt new water and sewer rates for 2009 and another is <br /> to continue to review rates periodically. North stated that a rate study is <br /> mandatory if direct expenses exceed the revenues. <br /> In 2007 we incurred our first year of surcharges for Infiltration and Inflow. These <br /> fees could impact either the operating expenditures or the capital outlay line <br /> items. The city will get penalized $100,100 for storm water running into the <br /> sanitary sewer system. We don't have to pay this fee the first 5 years as long as <br /> we spend at least that amount on fixing our systems. Hilgers asked when we <br /> expect to have a solution to the drainage problem. Mayor Harpstead stated <br /> that the City does not know what exactly is causing the problem except that it is <br /> happening throughout the whole city. There are a few ways to correct this <br /> problem and they are as follows: 1)meter the system, 2) inspection manhole <br /> covers, 3) smoke testing the system, and 4) visually inspect all homes. <br /> 4.
