Hetland(31* Prepared by: John E. Moss Utilties Director Wastewater Division Manage SUBJECT: Wastewater Treatment Plant and Sewer Main Improvements Projects, Dedication of funds for repayment of State Revolving Fund Loans. CAO RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution dedicating approved sewer fund user charge revenues for repayment of State Revolving Fund (SRF) loans. DISCUSSION: The City is seeking SRF loan monies to fund the needed improvements to its wastewater facilities. These improvements consist of three projects, the Unit 3 plant improvements, Unit 4 plant improvements and Phase 1 collection system improvements. Total estimated cost for the three projects is $35 million. On June 12, 1990, Council approved a revenue program and rate increases sufficient to cover the cost of repayment of the SRF loans and continued operating and capital program expenses for the wastewater program. The State Water Resources Control Board has approved the City's revenue program and granted conceptual approval of the projects. The State now requires the City dedicate, by resolution, the revenues necessary to fully repay the SRF loans. The anticipated interest rate for the SRF loans is 3.5% with repayment over a twenty (20) year period to begin one (1) year after completion of the project. Separate loans will be received for each project. The action being requested here is merely a procedural requirement of the State. As stated above, Council has previously approved the funding mechanism (revenue program and rate increases) as well as the required projects. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no direct fiscal impact as a result of this action which has not been previously identified and approved by Council. This action merely insures the State that the approved revenues will be used to repay the SRF loans. jll city of san Lacs OBlspo ON COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT SRF Loan Repayment, Dedication of Revenues Meeting of April 16, 1991 Page 2 ALTERNATIVES: There are no legitimate alternatives to the recommended action.
