89 <br />n O SanAaw <br />n <br />OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: C.J. Webster, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: Report on Information Supplied to the Water Rate Consultants <br />DATE: March 2, 1978 RE: <br />In addition to the basic information about the present <br />status of our city utility operations and history of collections, <br />there are two vital pieces of information which we have <br />provided to our consultants which the Council has not <br />approved nor seen as yet. These are major items for discussion-- <br />in considering the future water and sewer rate adjustments. <br />They include the current year's budget and a planned five year <br />capital improvements program. <br />CURRENT YEARS PROPOSED BUDGET <br />I will propose to you an operating and maintenance budget <br />of approximately $810,000 coupled with an existing debt payment <br />due this year of $93,781. In addition I anticipate additional <br />debt service costs for future years which the consultants <br />will have to consider based upon our proposed capital improve- <br />ment plan to be discussed later. <br />The budgets by department include: <br />91 Administration - $221,955 <br />This includes a reallocation of several people's time as <br />shown on the attached sheet for the remaining six months <br />of this fiscal year. In next year's budget this amount will be <br />lessened somewhat as a result of these allocations. We have <br />asked all personnel to document their time for this purpose. <br />92 Wastewater Collection - $42,987 <br />No new personnel to be added but because of personnel in other <br />areas we can reinstitute the preventive maintenance program. <br />93 Water/Wastewater Disposal - $190,371 <br />This request is for three additional personnel to adequately <br />staff our sewage treatment plants in line with the Texas <br />CSM-1 o0
