Roseville Finance Commission
<br />Agenda Item
<br />For 2019, overall operational costs are expected to increase by 4.9%. Costs associated with assigned
<br />personnel are expected to increase at inflationary levels to accommodate wage & benefit -related
<br />increases. The increase in `Other Services & Charges' is mostly attributable to higher wastewater
<br />treatment costs.
<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 an 8.1 % increase in wastewater treatment costs for 2019 reflecting both higher wastewater
<br />flows and treatment costs. This will require a commensurate increase in sewer usage fees for all sanitary
<br />sewer customers. Interest earnings for 2019 are expected to be minimal due to low cash balances
<br />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 also require a 5.0% increase in the sanitary sewer base fee.
<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 2018 and 2019
