City of Roseville — 2014 Budget <br />Discussion Items <br />Proprietary funds receive most of their funding from user fees. Funding sources for the City's <br />Proprietary operations remain stable as the City's water and sewer customers continue their strong <br />presence. Utility rate increases enacted in 2012 -2014 will result in significant increases in revenues. <br />A significant portion of the revenues and expenditures are related to water consumption, which in turn is <br />heavily correlated with weather conditions. This can cause significant fluctuations in water purchases <br />and subsequent wastewater treatment charges. These expenditures are included in the `Other Services & <br />Charges' category. These fluctuations can be seen in the chart above. <br />Independent of weather impacts and water consumption, the City expects spending in its proprietary <br />operations to increase somewhat higher than inflation in the next few years reflecting a comprehensive <br />plan to begin upgrading its water distribution and sanitary sewer collection systems. Net assets of the <br />City's proprietary operations are expected to increase steadily over the next couple of years as the City <br />prepares for a long -term capital replacement program for the City's water and sewer infrastructure. <br />WE <br />
