Roseville Finance Commission <br />Agenda Item <br /> <br />Page 3 of 12 <br /> <br />The revised 20-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies added infrastructure replacement costs <br />in the coming years which will require a 3.0% increase in the water base fee. <br /> <br />Sanitary Sewer Operations <br />The City maintains a sanitary sewer collection system to ensure the general public’s health and general <br />welfare. The following table provides a summary of the 2016 and 2017 (proposed) Budget excluding <br />capital: <br /> <br />2016 2017 $ Increase % Increase <br />Budget Budget (Decrease)(Decrease) <br />Revenues <br />Customer Charges 5,032,745$ 5,040,000$ 7,255$ 0.1% <br />Interest Earnings 5,000 5,000 - 0.0% <br />Total 5,037,745$ 5,045,000$ 7,255$ 0.1% <br />Expenses <br />Personal Services 469,200$ 493,100$ 23,900$ 5.1% <br />Supplies & Materials 50,200 50,400 200 0.4% <br />Other Services & Charges 3,374,550 3,505,550 131,000 3.9% <br />Total 3,893,950$ 4,049,050$ 155,100$ 4.0% <br />Net Available for Capital **1,143,795$ 995,950$ <br />** Excludes $205,000 in cash reserves set aside for sanitary sewer-related capital <br />For 2017, overall costs are expected to rise 4.0%. Costs associated with assigned personnel are expected <br />to increase 5.1% which includes a 2.75% cost-of-living adjustment. <br /> <br />The single largest operating cost to the sanitary sewer operation is the wastewater treatment costs paid <br />to the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services Division (MCES). The MCES has informed us that <br />we can expect a 5.7% increase in wastewater treatment costs for 2017 despite having lower sewer flows. <br />The increase is attributable to the MCES’ higher infrastructure replacement costs which are shared <br />amongst metro area customers. This will require a 19.4% increase in sewer usage fees for our sanitary <br />sewer customers. <br /> <br />The revised 20-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies added infrastructure replacement costs <br />in the coming years which will also require a 3.0% increase in the sanitary sewer base fee. <br /> <br />Storm Drainage Operations <br />The City provides for the management of storm water drainage to prevent flooding and pollution control, <br />as well as the street sweeping program. The following table provides a summary of the 2016 and 2017 <br />(proposed) Budget excluding capital:
