<br />54 The City maintains a sanitary sewer collection system to ensure the general public's health and general
<br />55 welfare. The following table provides a summary of the 2015 and 2016 (proposed) Budget excluding
<br />56 capital:

<br />For 2016, overall costs are expected to rise 3.7%. Costs associated with assigned personnel are expected
<br />to increase 8.6% which includes a 2% cost -of -living adjustment and a 5% increase for healthcare costs.
<br />It also includes additional monies for an intern position to avail more resources for the utility billing
<br />function.
<br />The single largest operating cost to the sanitary sewer operation is the wastewater treatment costs paid to
<br />the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services Division (MCES). Based on projected sewer flows
<br />and treatment costs provided by the MCES, the budget for this category has been increased by $110,000
<br />and appears in the `Other Services & Charges' category.
<br />The added operating costs will require an increase in the sanitary sewer usage fee charged to customers.
<br />However, the base fee which is used to fund capital replacements can remain the same as it was in 2015.
<br />73 Storm Drainage Operations
<br />74 The City provides for the management of storm water drainage to prevent flooding and pollution control,
<br />75 as well as the street sweeping program. The following table provides a summary of the 2015 and 2016
