Re: 2024 Proposed Sewer Budgets
______________________________________________________________________________
The 2024 Proposed Sewer budget is included in the packet material. The budget shows a 25%
increase in User Fees per the City’s 2020 Rate Study, which is also included. The expenses were
determined by Public Works Director Charlie Fischer, who will be at the meeting. The budget
document also shows actual numbers from 2020-2022, the 2023 budgeted numbers, and actual
expenses through June 2023.
The budget is presented with different options for covering depreciation. The first budget covers
100% of depreciation, the next 75%, then 50%, and 25% and finally 0%. There is a summary
sheet at the back that provides a quick view of how the varying depreciation levels change the
accounts' net profitability.
The Big Marine Sewer budget is presented with all users paying the same fee. No adjustment
has been made for seasonal users.
