BACKGROUND
Attached for your consideration are the proposed 2017 budgets for water, sanitary sewer, and storm
water. Public Works staff has worked to develop a proposed budget that meets the goals of the City
Council while maintaining the expected service levels of the Quality Standards. Table 1 provides an
overview of the increases to the three enterprise funds.
Table 1
Fund 2016 Budget 2017 Proposed Budget Increase
Water Utility $1,579,700 $1,655,600 4.8%
Sewer Utility $2,060,600 $2,204,200 7.0%
Storm Utility $743,000 $1,286,800 73.2%
Total $4,383,300 $5,146,600 17.4%
The substantial increase to the Storm Utility fund is primarily due to increased funding to manage the MS4
Permit requirements, and to begin planning and implementing larger system-wide maintenance projects
(i.e. Keegan Lake drainage improvements, Wachter Pond outlet, etc.).
The redline version of each budget is included for your review. Staff will be available at the meeting to
answer any questions or concerns.
SUMMARY
Staff is requesting Utility Commission recommendation to the City Council to approve the proposed 2017
Utility Budgets.
