50 Sanitary Sewer Operations <br />51 The City maintains a sanitary sewer collection system to ensure the general public's health and general <br />52 welfare. The following table provides a summary of the 2016 and 2017 (proposed) Budget excluding <br />56 capital: <br />54 <br />55 <br />56 <br />57 <br />58 <br />5s <br />2016 1 2017 $Increase % Increase <br />Revenues _ <br />Customer Charges <br />Interest Earnings <br />Total <br />Expenses <br />Budget <br />$5,032,745 <br />5,000 <br />$5,037,745 <br />Budet <br />$5,040,000 <br />5,000 <br />$5,045,000 <br />(Decrease) (Decrease) <br />$ 7,255 0.1% <br />- 0.0% <br />$ 7,255 0.1% <br />Personnel Services <br />$ 469,200 <br />$ 493,100 <br />$ 23,900 <br />5.1% <br />Supplies &Materials <br />50,200 <br />50,400 <br />200 <br />0.4% <br />Other Services & Charges <br />3,374,550 <br />3,505,550 <br />131,000 <br />3.9% <br />Total <br />$3,893,950 <br />$4,049,050 <br />$ 155,100 <br />4.0% <br />Net Available for Capital ** <br />$1,143,795 <br />$ 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 />60 The single largest operating cost to the sanitary sewer operation is the wastewater treatment costs paid to <br />61 the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services Division (MCES). The MCES has informed us that we <br />62 can expect a 5.7% increase in wastewater treatment costs for 2017 despite having lower sewer flows. The <br />66 increase is attributable to the MCES' higher infrastructure replacement costs which are shared amongst <br />64 metro area customers. This will require a 19.4% increase in sewer usage fees for our sanitary sewer <br />65 customers. <br />66 <br />67 The revised 20 -Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies added infrastructure replacement costs <br />68 in the coming years which will also require a 3.0% increase in the sanitary sewer base fee. <br />6s <br />70 Storm Drainage Operations <br />71 The City provides for the management of storm water drainage to prevent flooding and pollution control, <br />72 as well as the street sweeping program.
