Analysis of Issues.
• Funding
Corrective actions would be funded from the sanitary sewer and storm sewer
utility accounts. The proposed 1998 storm sewer budget includes $80,000 for
contractual improvements, $20,000 for engineering services and $250,000 for
the 6~` Avenue North/3~ Street North storm sewer improvement project. The
estimated cost for the 6~` Avenue sewer project has risen to anywhere from
$415,000 to $615,000. Therefore, a storm sewer fund revenue bond will
need to be sold to fund that project. If there are budget shortfalls to correct
problems in other areas, that need could also be included in the bond amount.
Staff will be presenting details on the 6~` Avenue project design, funding and
project cost impact on utility fees at the November 12~` worksession and
November 18 City Council meeting.
The 1998 sanitary sewer budget includes $19,000 for engineering services.
This, coupled with some 1997 funds, will cover the cost of the sump pump
inspection program. If collection pipe repairs are necessary, there are funds
available from the $75,000 budgeted for sanitary sewer work in the 1998
street improvement area (Interlachen area).
