This translates to a 3.5% decrease <br />in the City's sewer expense. <br /> <br />In keeping with that decrease, staff is recommending that the full decrease be passed back to our <br />sewer users. This means a decrease in the rates of3,5% for 2000. <br /> <br />As can be seen in the prior year summaries, we have been able to keep our operating costs and <br />revenues in a fairly good balance as well as maintain a positive cash flow position. <br /> <br /> 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 <br /> Actual Actual Actual Projected Proposed <br />Sewer Fees 3,051,539 3,067,331 3,362,269 3,218,934 2,965,049 <br />Less <br />MCES Fees** 2,352,527 2,331,731 2,267,815 2,154,424 2,178,120 <br />Other <br />operating 715,372 406,182 610,440 605,644 676,751 <br />Total <br />Expenses 3,067,899 2,976,251 2,858,256 2,760,068 2,854,871 <br />Net operating <br />revenues (16,360) 91,080 484,013 458,866 110,178 <br /> <br />Based on the projected future financial plans of the MCES, we would expect to see no major <br />increases in the coming years. <br /> <br />Water <br /> <br />The City of St. Paul has notified us of a proposed increase in water rates for 2000 of <br />approximately 2.1 %.
