The PowerPoint presentation focused on the results of the analysis of <br /> the City's water, sewer, stormwater and street light enterprise funds. <br /> Director Maiers and Manager Lotter clarified that the Army fund is separate, and those funds are used <br /> specifically for the remediation of the water supply. Wyffels stated that water revenues have fluctuated over the <br /> years, noting that cash is needed for upcoming utility projects. Councilmember Bauman stated that she feels <br /> this is a smart approach. <br /> The following rates were recommended; water$1.62 per 1000 gallons, sewer$3.62 per 1000 gallons. storm <br /> water$11.79 per quarter and street light$7.40 per quarter. <br /> Manager Lotter suggested the PowerPoint be made available on the City's website, as well as bringing the item <br /> to the next council meeting as a Business Item.
