Roseville Finance Commission <br />Agenda Item <br />For 2019, a typical single-family home will pay an estimated $177.55 per quarter or $59.18 per month. <br />This is an increase of $2.53 per month or 4.5% from the current year. This is the same amount referenced <br />in the 2019 Citv Manager Recommended Budget. More detailed information for each operating division <br />can be found below. <br />Water Operations <br />The City's water operation provides City customers with safe potable water, as well as on -demand water <br />pressure sufficient to meet the City's fire protection needs. The following table provides a summary of <br />the 2018 and 2019 (proposed) Budget excluding capital: <br />Revenues <br />2018 <br />Bud et <br />2019 <br />Bud et <br />$Increase <br />(Decrease) <br />% Increase <br />(Decrease) <br />Customer Charges <br />$ <br />7,400,000 <br />$ <br />7,334,580 <br />$ 65,420 <br />-0.9% <br />Interest Earnings <br />5,000 <br />- <br />5,000 <br />-100.0% <br />Total $ <br />7,405,000 <br />$ <br />7,334,580 <br />$ (70,420) <br />-1.0% <br />Expenses <br />Personnel Services <br />$ <br />651,070 <br />$ <br />670,180 <br />$ 19,110 <br />2.9% <br />Supplies & Materials <br />162,200 <br />162,200 <br />- <br />0.0% <br />Other Services & Charges <br />5,487,700 <br />5,332,200 <br />(155,500) <br />-2.8% <br />Totall $ <br />6,300,970 <br />$ <br />6,164,580 <br />$ 136,390 <br />-2.2% <br />For 2019, overall budgeted operational costs are expected to decline by 2.2%. Costs associated with <br />assigned personnel are expected to increase at inflationary levels to accommodate wage & benefit -related <br />increases. The decline in `Other Services & Charges' reflects lower overall costs to purchase water from <br />St. Paul due in part to lower consumption. The reduction in water consumption also leads to lower <br />projected revenues. <br />The single largest operating cost for the water operation is the purchase of wholesale water from the St. <br />Paul Regional Water System (SPRWS). SPRWS Officials have informed us that there will be a 3.0% <br />increase in the cost of purchasing wholesale water in 2019. However, Roseville's current usage rates <br />have a sufficient cushion to accommodate this increase. Interest earnings for 2019 are expected to be <br />minimal due to low cash balances projected throughout most of the year. <br />The revised 20 -Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies added infrastructure replacement costs <br />in the coming years which will require a 5.0% increase in the residential water base fee. <br />Sanitary Sewer Operations <br />The City maintains a sanitary sewer collection system to ensure the general public's health and general <br />welfare.
