��� � � <br />`���-.-� , --� � � <br />Memo <br />To: City Council <br />From: Chris Miller, Interim City Manager �` <br />fr �� <br />Date: November 20,2006 _ <br />Re: Discussion on the 2007 Utility Rates <br />Date: 11/20/Ob <br />Item: 7. <br />Utility Rates <br />Introduction <br />Over the past several weeks, Staff has been analyzing the City's utility operations to determine <br />whether rate adjustments are necessary for 2007. The analysis entailed a review of the following <br />services: <br />1) Water <br />2) Sanitary Sewer <br />3) Storm Water Drainage <br />4) Recycling <br />For each operation, the following service inputs were reviewed: <br />� Fixed City costs including personnel, supplies and maintenance, and depreciation <br />� Variable costs including the purchase of water from the City of St. Paul, water treatment <br />costs paid to the Metropolitan Council, and recycling contractor costs. <br />0 Capital replacement costs <br />7 Current customer base, rates, and rate structure <br />On September 11, 2006, the City Council adopted the 2007 Preliminary Budget for each of the <br />operations listed above. The remainder of this report summarizes the rate adjustment necessary <br />to accommodate the budget, and scheduled capital replacements over the next few years. <br />Discussion Items <br />Water Operations: The City's water operation provides City customers with safe potable water, <br />as well as on-demand water pressure sufficient to meet the City's fire protection needs. The City <br />purchases its water supply from the City of St. Paul, which remains the single largest operating <br />cost to the water operation. It is estimated that are wholesale water purchase costs will increase <br />approximately 3%. In addition, the City's internal operating costs are expected to increase by <br />approximately 3% due to higher personnel costs. <br />The Council is reminded that the Water Fund is in a relatively weal{ financial position compared <br />to other utility funds and even the City's General Fund. Above-inflation increases in water rates <br />will be needed for the foreseeable future to improve this condition. <br />
