November 3, 1980 To All City Managers: Enclosed is the statement of 1981 Estimated Cost Allocation for your municipality in accordance with the 1981 Program Budget approved and adopted by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commis- sion and the Metropolitan Council. Reserve Capacity costs will be allocated to your community in accordance with Service Avail- ability Charge (SAC) policies. The SAC unit charge for 1981 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 Com- mission will bill each municipality by mailing a monthly invoice approximately 30 days prior to due date. The first such install- ment is due on or before January 1, 1981. As a means of keeping local government units well informed, we have enclosed the Commissions' 1981 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 re- sults. The format tells you a great deal about Waste Control Com- mission activities and how they attempt to meet the needs and re- quirements 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 1981 Budget in detail - -it will be worth your while. Also enclosed is a copy of the 1979 Final Cost Allocation for your community, 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 1979 Financial Report. We would like to call to your attention that expenditures, as in- dicated in the 1979 Financial Report, totaled $49,218,715 or I $974,109 less than the $50,192,824 budget. We feel most fortunate to have underspent the 1979 Budget, as various categories such as contracted services - sludge removal, repairs, plant demolitions, and capital outlay, cost significantly higher than anticipated due to 350 METRO /OUPRE BLDG. escalating and inflationary factors. 7TH 6 ROBERT /78E8T/ /RIOT PAUL mn 55101 , 612.'222.8423 F_. .ec..
