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.
