Regular City Council Meeting Monday,December 03, 2012 Page 27 Mayor Roe noted that those rates were already listed in the information provid- ed for proposed rates in the RCA. Councilmember McGehee questioned the financial impact between a one versus two tier system. Mayor Roe advised that the financial impact would be to cover the cost of water for the City in either scenario; with the one option allowing the City to make ex- tra money and the other revenue neutral. Mr. Miller concurred, noting that the rate for a one tier rate structure would be $2.20 across the board to cover the cost of purchasing water from the City of St. Paul. f. Accept the 2012-2031 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Finance Director Miller noted that previous actions of the City Council formally accepted the CIP Subcommittee's reports and recommendations regarding long- term capital replacement plans and funding mechanisms; however, staff rec- ommended that the City Council accept, by resolution the 2012-2031 CIP for the purpose of institutionalizing that support. At the request of Councilmember Pust, Mr. Miller advised that a proposal for a biennial review for review of the CIP at the staff level was in place for recom- mended adjustments as indicated based on actual versus assumed projections. Mayor Roe noted that the CIP Subcommittee recommended that such a review be incorporated as part of the City Council's CIP Policy. Councilmember Pust reiterated comments she had made in the past, opining that the most important work she saw accomplished was the work of the CIP Sub- committee consisting of Mayor Roe, Councilmember Johnson, City Manager Malinen and Finance Director Miller.
