Description Each year the City looks at and adopts budgets relating to the City’s Enterprise Funds. Key points of the 2015 Draft Enterprise Fund Budgets include: Sanitary Sewer There is another major area of expense for the Sanitary Sewer Fund in 2015. The proposed sewer lining project along the Snelling Service Drives and west to Fry Street areas. This is estimated to cost $277,000. At the October 1, 2014, Council Workshop, Council directed staff to include an approximately $100,000 transfer from the Sanitary Sewer Fund to support the general operating levy for 2015. This will be provided as part of the 2015 Budget at the December 10, 2014, Budget Hearing. Storm Sewer The City continues to see increased state and federal mandates in regards to storm sewer operations. These mandates often cannot be planned for as they are presented in a short time frame. The Capitol Region Watershed has partnered with the City on the Curtiss Field Flood Mitigation Project in 2014. The projected City costs for the Curtiss Field project were $200,000. In addition, the attached document showing storm water related projects since 2007, shows that on average, the City has paid out of the storm sewer fund $60,712 annually toward projects in the past 8 years. Additionally, $284,512 was spent on storm water related portions of the 2013 Street Improvement Projects. These are expenses above the operational costs of the storm sewer system. Budget Impact Dependent on eventual adoption by the City Council at the Budget Hearing on December 10, 2014.
