MIN[ITES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />OCTOBER 12, 1994 <br />concern brought up by cities in meeting on this issue a <br />year ago. <br />The Administrator pointed out that the current system <br />has a high impact on wet cities. The Administrator <br />suggested the need for the City engineer to do an <br />inflow and infiltration analysis of the City's sewer <br />system to make sure there are no problems with the <br />system. <br />Morelan asked if it were costly to televise the system, <br />and suggested that it would seem the City could save a <br />lot of money if a problem is identified and corrected. <br />The Administrator replied that televising the system is <br />not very expensive, however, infiltration does not <br />necessarily occur on a constant basis.

There are a lot <br />of ways to figure depreciation which could change <br />results considerably depending on the accountinq <br />system. Therefore, the City is not actually loosing <br />dollars. <br />The Administrator pointed out that the City is using <br />depreciation to build up dollars to cover the cost of <br />future repairs.
