Mike Ericson <br />OFrorn: Colvin, Kyle <kyle.colvin@metc.state.mn.us> <br />Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 20171:06 PM <br />To: Mike Ericson; Smith, Ned <br />Cc: Paul Palzer; Charles Roberts; Smith, Ned; Atkins, John; Schueller, Dan <br />Subject: RE: MCES Council Meeting Follow-up <br />Mike, <br />I apologize for not getting all the information that I committed getting to you sooner. I will attempt to respond to the <br />bulleted items that I provided in my February 9 email and which is highlighted below: <br />Unfortunately, we have not completed the 2018 cost/flow allocation process yet which includes flow generated <br />in 2016. In order to re-create the 2017 cost/billings, we'll need to finalize the 2016 flow determination (at least <br />the first half). We plan to compete the 2018 cost/flow allocations next week or the following week. We can then <br />rerun the 2017 using the old flow period model for Centerville and compare how the switch of flow period <br />impacted the City. <br />• MCES keeps an operating reserve fund that has a minimum reserve balance requirement (10% of operating <br />expenses excluding debt service cost). <br />• At the end of 2016 we had some excess reserves as the balance was $19.2 million and the minimum balance <br />requirement was $14.3 million. <br />• The excess reserves are mainly used to decrease future Municipal Wastewater Charges. For example, for the <br />2018 budget that we are working on now, we may create a budget that has a deficit that is funded from <br />reserves. In other words, the MWCs will be set lower than they otherwise would be. <br />See table below. The list below ranks from High to Low the cost increase for the communities that experienced <br />increases in their 2017 wastewater bills from the Council. It reflects those that had an 8% or higher increase. <br />Centerville is located near the center of the list with an 11.62% increase. Most of the higher increases are <br />attributable to growth that occurred within the community and many of those are smaller sewered areas. Thus <br />growth had a greater impact. Communities that are listed in red text have 100% of their flow estimated based <br />on connection counts and assumed flow per connection (Like the Lamont area in Lino Lakes) or other <br />information submitted by the community. <br />41 <br />
