<br />3) Mr. Gaxeau' a roport wi.Eh r et to ttte 3lusltstL Case ia cerCainly good naws but
<br />wcruld like to comseat rnn same other ,sspats af the Treataient Pisat. In 1977, total
<br />eapenditure for Treatmat t3mt wss $1,"8,004 -$63k,000 of th3s was far g+e?tral
<br />obligatioa bayds and interest, sad Oi1DA payawts. Less this $514,040, tad an
<br />actual $1,054,400 earpeWitvrs !ar operstioa and maintenaace. In 1978 the geners1
<br />obltgatian bonds aad OM xas paid through the 3ni1 Charter Amendment. We are
<br />lookitig for that 3 mil to c- a Ali ctmn to about 1.8 ail ia 19 81. Raw+sver, we ha+d an
<br />incresse fn operatian aaet uaft e of $215,000 from 1977 and this is ebout a 20%
<br />increase between 1977 anl 1976. In 1979, tbe total expenditure wss $1,38+6,000,
<br />which regresents anly a 9.5% incrssu" over 1978 end ie ccerendable. In 1979 ae
<br />alsa psid off s secand wttga?e revenue boad i.a interest in thffi axmmt of $84,000.
<br />As far aa the revenue aspecta of tba Smsr Revauue Fund, in 1978, $1,355,000 wss
<br />reaiised. In 1979, $1,305,000 xas tasiiset - in etssence, $39,900 lsss ia 1979
<br />than in 1978 aud thia is ludicra?w. My ehml.d our reveaue drop w4tea ovEr costs
<br />csmtinute to rise? Feels ttte cnnly possfble concZusion is conservaticyn - psaple sre
<br />using lesa water. Tap-in r.harps incxeaaad apprtxi.matelq 35% betwom 1978 and 1974.
<br />Hanvever, tap-in charges are insignificant in considering the reductioan af re;r+enue
<br />fraaa the uaes fae. Durfng t4o first six -m-rt'!u of 1488, user fee r+ev+emue tncreuased
<br />by approaimstely $28,400 ia the aase periad last year. Tap-in charges, which we
<br />crrasidar verq seriou6ly es a se^veaue source, have tatallp disappointaed us. Origin-
<br />ally projacted $45,000 fsx 2400; through Jme have only realizsd $11,500; thraugh
<br />July will only add an additianal $1,104 or $1, 200; Nill not reach vur gcsal af
<br />$45,000. Aclditional spprapriattim: aeeded #ar PE&S, haspitaliastion, insurance,
<br />plant aad lsbor, and utilitieae In 2990 soouut to about $98,000. Are looking at a
<br />$58,000 shortage of revenue tor tbi.a year fer oFexation aad mainteaan+ce. Fin?nce
<br />Directar has made two recommendst#crns to overccme this deficit - transfer noney
<br />from dhamicals vhich wi11 uat Ue uaed thi.s year; or give coasideratiou to appropria-
<br />ting the $28,000 originslly apprvpriated for coasultant fees fnx the I and i Study.
<br />1'hese txo itess will nat fully cg"r the pzojectect shortage and CaMittee watts
<br />some sunesticns and input fro the Aduiaistratian on this matter. Algo, vould like
<br />alist of Iine items and do2lax ammta which the ARlministration deternd.nes caa be
<br />aut bsck to eliminate th3s sbartsge. Must tae positive steps to rectuce the 1980
<br />espenditura of $58,000 anst alo+o look at nrext pear and the year after. Equipmeat,
<br />labor, utilities, and maf.ateetmce costr sre eatittg us up. Coaa3,ttea ia ncrt pre-
