DISCUSSION ON 1996 ENTERPRISE FUND BUDGETS Finance Director Rolek indicated the budget had been prepared without any increase in sewer or water rates for 1996. He indicated it was a policy matter if the City Council would like the fees to reflect the depreciation factor. Councilmembers discussed the options. There was Council consensus to not increase the base rate for water charges but to explore the possibility of structuring a rate dependent on amount of usage. Rolek indicated staff was not recommending an increase in the sanitary sewer rates. Hurm explained there was a capital outlay expense in this year's budget for a new utility line locator and new sewer jetter. There was Council consensus to maintain the sanitary sewer rates at their present level. Rolek indicated the County is no longer funding the full cost of recycling in the City of Shorewood. He indicated the revenue received by the City for the recyclables will not cover the cost of the recycling program. There was Council consensus to establish the recycling charge per household by $1.00 per month. Hurm explained the Stormwater Management Utility Fund was doing well in terms of set-asides. Rolek explained this issue will be discussed further along with the subject of Capital Improvement Projects.
