Little Canada Road Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 Dear Mr. Chlebek: 'palm NOV 2 1978 CITY OF LITTLE CANADA Enclosed is the statement of 1979 Estimated Cost Allocation for your municipality in accordance with the 1979 Program Budget approved and adopted by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission and the Metropo- litan Council. Reserve Capacity costs will be allocated to your community in accordance with Service Availability Charge (SAC) policies. The SAC unit charge for 1979 is $425. The total annual estimated charges to your municipality are to be remitted to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission in 12 equal monthly installments due on the first day of each month. The Commis- sion will bill each municipality by mailing a monthly invoice approx- imately 30 days prior to due date. The first such installment is due on or before January 1, 1979. As a means of keeping local government units well informed, we have enclosed the Commissions' 1979 Program Budget - -a document that will provide you with information on Commission programs and projects. The Commission budget has been prepared on a program budgeting format which emphasizes performance measurement and results. The format tells you a great deal about Waste Control Commission activities and how they attempt to meet the needs and requirements of the 102 local communities served by the Commission. This format allows the Commission to outline a'considerable amount of information in an understandable manner. Please take the time to study the 1979 Budget in detail - -it will be worth your while. Also enclosed is a copy of the 1977 Final Cost Allocation for your com- munity, Report #2 through #5 from our Cost Allocation Program which show the relationship of cost and sewage flow data for all communities using the Metropolitan Disposal System, and the 1977 Financial Report. We would like to call to your attention that expenditures, as indicated in the 1977 Financial Report, totaled $38,668,734 or $836,214 less than the $39,504,948 budget. We feel most fortunate to have underspent the 1977 Budget, as various categories such as insurance, repairs, utilities - gas, chemicals, cost significantly higher than anticipated due to escalat- ing and inflationary factors. 028
