<br /> Sewer Operations and Maintenance (0 & M) and Debt Funds
<br /> The Sewer Operating Fund ended FY 2014/15 with a positive operating balance of
<br /> $340,837 as shown in Table 7. The majority of the variance was due to actual revenues
<br /> exceeding the Amended Budget. As a result of this, the ending fund balance has
<br /> increased to approximately $4.7 million. The adopted sewer rates effective September
<br /> 1, 2010 included an annual CPI adjustment for local collection fees. The rates were
<br /> designed to maintain the Sewer Operating Fund in a balanced operating position with a
<br /> minimum fund balance of $3.5 million. Similar to the Water Operating Fund, operations
<br /> are continuing to stabilize such that the minimum fund balance has been exceeded. Like
<br /> the water rates, the sewer rate review (local collection system rates only) was completed
<br /> and the new rates adopted by the City Council in October 2015 as required by Proposition
<br /> 218 (that states all fees and charges with a CPI adjustment be reviewed every five years).
