Right
good
evening,
water
sewer
board
Mr
Mayor.
Tonight
we
have
a
decision
item
on
the
Santa
Fe
Park
City,
ditch
relocation
in
land
dedication.
So
this
item
is
a
series
of
agreements
to
relocate
City,
ditch
on
a
developers,
property
in
the
city
of
Littleton
and
there's
several
agreements
in
order
to
do
this,
one
is
a
construction
agreement
and
there's
access,
easement
agreements
and
then
there's
also.
This
is
also
in
the
area
of
the
McClellan
Pump
Station.
So
there
is
a
an
agreement
for
land
dedication
around
our
facility.
D
Stephanie
Ellis
is
the
project
manager
and
been
coordinating
with
the
developer
she's
on
the
call
tonight,
as
well
as
a
couple
representatives
from
the
developer.
Who
can
answer
questions
at
the
end
of
the
presentation,
foreign
so
for
a
little
background,
there's
two
developments
that
are
currently
in
the
final
planning
stages
in
the
southwest
corner
of
Mineral
Avenue
in
Santa
Fe
Drive
in
the
city
of
Littleton.
These
developments
are
planned
for
single
family
and
multi-family
purposes
and
shown
on
the
map.
D
There
are
the
boundaries
of
the
two
developments
there's
River
Park,
which
is
owned
by
the
Evergreen
mineral
and
Santa
Fe
LLC.
This
is
the
smaller
development
here
on
the
north
and
then
to
the
South,
which
is
the
subject
of
consideration.
Tonight
is
the
Santa
Fe
Park
development
and
that's
owned
by
Toll,
Southwest
LLC,
so
Inglewood
has
critical
raw
water
delivery
infrastructure
running
through
both
of
these
developments.
This
is
shown
in
blue
here.
This
is
the
existing
City,
ditch
open
Channel.
D
So,
as
you
can
see,
it
runs
right
through
both
of
those
properties
and
then
the
red
on
either
side
are
sections
of
City
that
are
already
piped
kind
of
on
the
boundaries
of
these
two
developments
and
then
the
green
line
is
the
proposed
relocation
and
piping
of
City.
Ditch
in
this
area
that
you
know,
we
are
planning
to
pipe
all
the
sections,
the
remaining
open,
Channel
sections
of
City
ditch,
and
so
this
would
accommodate
that
goal
as
well
as
move
the
ditch
outside
of
the
development
area.
For
these
two
developments.
B
D
There
are
proposed
improvements
related
to
City
ditch,
so
that
is
the
screen
here,
so
relocating
it
out
of
this
open
Channel
that
runs
through
this
portion
of
the
property
and
then
there's
also
land
dedication
around
McCollum
Pub
station,
which
is
shown
in
the
light
blue
here
and
then
later
on
this
year.
We
will
also
be
bringing
back
similar
agreements
that
we'll
discuss
tonight
for
the
drain
line
relocation.
So
that's
shown
in
this
blue
in
the
middle
of
the
property,
and
that
is
the
drain
line
from
McClellan
Reservoir.
D
Yeah,
so
this
figure
shows
the
overall
site
plan
for
this
development.
There's
several
colors
going
on
here,
so
I'll
walk
through
each
of
these.
As
we
talk
about
the
agreements
generally,
the
blue
is
new
easement
and
the
green
color
is
existing
easement,
that's
to
remain
the
pink
in
here.
This
is
along
the
drain
line
that
is
existing
easement.
D
That
potentially
will
be
abandoned
with
the
with
the
drain
line
agreements,
and
then
it's
probably
really
hard
to
see
on
the
screen,
but
there
is
some
red
hatching
along
this
part
of
the
blue
area.
That
is
the
drain
drain
line
easement,
and
that
is
also
existing
easement.
That's
to
be
vacated
down
the
road,
so
tonight
we're
looking
at
a
few
agreements
related
to
City
ditch.
The
first
is
the
easement
Grant,
and
this
gives
the
city
access
around
the
new
city
ditch
alignment.
D
So
this
is
the
blue
area
along
here,
as
well
as
a
drive
driveway
access
along
this
part
of
the
development
to
get
to
the
McClellan
Pump
Station
area
so
shown
in
blue.
The
construction
agreement
gives
the
terms
of
the
construction
for
the
piping,
reloc
and
relocation
of
City
ditch
in
this
area.
Here
the
developer
is
funding
all
construction
and
related
costs,
and
so
this
fits
with
our
plans
again
to
pipe
the
open,
Channel
sections
of
City,
ditch
between
Chatfield
and
the
Allen
water
treatment
plant.
D
The
agreement
ensures
that
Inglewood
will
have
the
ability
to
inspect
and
approve
the
improvements
before
we
consider
that
the
project
is
complete,
and
so
the
third
agreement
related
to
City
ditch
is
this
reciprocal
agreement.
This
is
the
between
the
two
developers,
so
the
developer
to
the
north
as
well
as
toll,
and
it
is
to
facilitate
the
connection
between
the
two
properties
of
City,
ditch
so
right
here.
So
we
need.
D
We
needed
this
agreement
to
be
put
in
place
because
toll
is
slightly
ahead
of
Evergreen,
and
so
they
will
need
to
make
some
improvements
on
evergreen's
property
and
it
when
that
happens.
This
gives
them
the
ability
to
do
that
and
then,
whenever
green
ties
in
to
that
new
infrastructure
in
this
corner,
it
allows
Evergreen
to
if
they
have
to
make
any
improvements
on
toll's
property
and
then
at
the
end
of
that,
when
the
construction
is
finished,
it
turns
over
that
infrastructure
to
the
city.
D
The
Pump
Station
agreement
is
purchase
and
sale
agreement
and
that
agreement
dedicates
additional
land
in
this
area
to
the
city
of
Inglewood
for
our
McClellan
Pump
Station.
This
facility
is
potentially
slated
to
be
replaced
with
a
larger
facility.
So
Inglewood
had
one
of
our
third
party
Engineers
provide
their
technical
expertise
during
our
negotiations
with
toll
to
size,
the
area
so
that
we
were
guaranteed
that
it
it
would
fit
the
city's
future
needs.
C
D
A
E
A
D
Thank
you.
So
here's
our
agenda
and
this
agenda
is
the
same
for
each
of
the
funds.
We'll
give
a
quick
Department
overview
just
run
through
the
2022
funds
that
were
returned
to
the
fund
balance
and
then
go
over
the
2024
budget
proposal
and
I
can
answer
any
questions
at
the
end
of
each
fund
presentation
so
Department
overview.
D
It's
our
organizational
structure,
obviously
the
water
sewer
board
and
then
our
director
of
utilities,
who
also
serves
as
the
emurf
board
president,
and
then
we
have
three
divisions:
Business
Solutions
operations
and
maintenance
and
Engineering
there's
61
ftes
and
then
I'll
just
note.
There's
a
star
at
the
bottom.
We
had
three
ftes
approved
last
year
for
monthly
connector
District
billing.
We
have
not
started
that
service,
yet
so
those
ftes
are
just
being
held
until
we
do
that
likely
in
2024.
D
D
For
the
water
and
sewer
fund,
we
have
a
connection
to
the
Strategic
plan
and
strategic
outcomes.
So
really
our
main
goal
is
to
ensure
the
protection
of
the
city's
water
and
infrastructure
and
to
deliver
water
that
meets
all
state
and
federal
regulations
and
then
for
governance.
We
just
want
to
mention
that
we've
developed
long-term
Financial
plans
that
address
the
infrastructure
needs
of
both
the
water
and
sewer
system,
while
maintaining
affordable
rates
and
fees.
D
D
's
return
to
the
fund
balance
looking
at
this
column
in
the
middle
here,
one
equals
a
minus
B.
This
is
this
is
the
difference
between
our
budgeted
amount
in
2022
and
what
we
spent
and
I'll
just
highlight
a
couple
things.
So
the
positive
numbers
indicate
where
we
under
spent
on
those
budget
line
items
so
that
first
line
is
salary.
D
Savings
from
our
vacant
positions,
contractual
or
Professional
Services
line
item
was
overspent
in
that
particular
line
item
and
that's
due
to
our
increased
usage
of
our
engineering,
on-call
services
and
our
water
rights
attorneys
throughout
the
year
in
2022,
and
then
the
the
big
return
to
the
fund
balance
was
our
capital.
We
only
spent
about
20
percent
of
the
capital
that
we
had
budgeted
for
in
2022
and
again
it
just
takes
time
to
ramp
up
Capital
spending.
D
B
D
We
look
at
our
2024
budget
request.
Here's
a
summary
of
the
various
expense
categories.
First,
two
personnel
and
commodities
are
really
inflation.
Related
increases
is
what
we're
planning
for
in
2024
the
contractual
or
Professional
Services
that
has
a
larger
increase,
and
that's
due
to
increasing
we'd
like
to
increase
our
use
of
on-call
engineering
firms
to
help
us
ramp
up
Capital
spending
as
well
as
we
see
a
need
to
increase
the
water
rights
engineers
and
water
rights.
D
Attorney's
costs
to
accommodate
some
water
court
and
water
cases
that
we're
seeing
likely
will
occur
in
2024..
So
those
accommodates
additional
days
that
our
attorneys
may
have
to
spend
in
Water
Court
we've
also
increased
Capital.
Quite
a
bit.
This
large
increase,
the
15
million,
is
capital
projects
that
we
have
had
planned,
but
then
also
adding
in
the
lead
service
line
replacement.
D
D
So
that
was
a
larger
facility
that
we
were
going
to
attempt
to
consolidate
all
of
utility
staff
into
one
location
at
the
service
center
that
is
dependent
on
you
know,
Redevelopment
of
the
Civic
Center
and
funding
in
the
other
departments
in
the
city
for
the
broader
facilities
upgrade
to
the
service
center
and
because
that
has
been
delayed
and
we're
not
sure
you
know.
When
that
will
move
forward.
D
We
took
a
look
at
phasing
in
some
improvements
in
our
already
existing
facilities,
so
the
Allen
water
treatment
space
improvements,
phase,
one
that's
project
number
one
that
was
one
that
we
previously
brought
to
this
board
with
a
cmgc
is
very
close
to
starting
construction
here
later
this
year.
That's
to
add
several
offices
at
the
Allen
water
treatment
plan
for
operators,
or
excuse
me
for
operating
supervisors,
as
well
as
the
deputy
director
of
operations
and
maintenance
and
then
phase
two
of
that
is.
D
D
B
D
If
there
was
an
emergency
in
our
own
system,
we
would
be
able
to
take
water
from
Denver
Water.
So
with
that
we'll
need
to
make
some
infrastructure
improvements
of
vaults
and
some
connections
between
their
system
and
ours
and
we're
anticipating
that
would
happen
in
2024.
So
we
added
three
million
dollars
since
April.
For
that
and
then
to
accommodate
some
of
that
increase
in
spending,
we
pushed
out
some
Pump
Station
improvements.
We
are
planning
on
doing
the
Clarkson
and
Hampton
booster
station
improvements
along
with
the
old
Hampton
Road
utilities
project.
D
And
then
this
is
the
lead
service
line
program.
We
initially
came
to
the
board
with
a
six-year
accelerated
replacement.
We've
decided
to
push
that
out
to
a
10-year
program,
mostly
because
of
the
funding,
as
we
are
putting
this
into
our
financial
models,
we're
seeing
that
it
likely
needs
to
be
a
10-year
program
just
based
on
when
funding
might
be
available
and
when
we
can
increase
fees
and
rates
in
order
to
accommodate
the
additional
Capital
that
we
are
investing
in
in
the
system.
B
D
Moving
to
some
operations
expenses,
this
is
a
summary
of
what
work
our
enhancement
requests.
So
we
have
four
for
the
water
fund
and
all
I
have
a
slide
for
each
one
of
these,
but
in
total,
we're
requesting
about
896
000
in
enhancements
and
we've
really
refined
the
O
M
budget
this
year
with
the
new
supervisors
that
are
on
staff.
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
movement
between
the
line
items,
so
it
isn't
an
increase
of
you
know
almost
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars.
These
are
just
specific.
D
We
wanted
to
solve
so.
The
first
is
the
building
rental,
and
so
we
are
going
to
add
a
fourth
temporary
office.
Trailer
Public
Works
has
an
office
trailer
that
they
no
longer
need
at
the
service
center,
so
we
are
going
to
take
over
that
lease
from
them,
because
we
have
quite
a
few
distribution
and
collection
staff
located
in
our
one
temporary
trailer
that
is
out
at
the
service
center.
D
D
The
second
enhancement
this
combines
the
the
second
two,
the
two
second
and
third
items
on
that
summary
sheet.
We
are
requesting
a
half
of
an
FTE
as
a
network
engineer
that
we
would
split
with
the
IT
department
to
accommodate
our
other
enhancement
request,
which
is
software
and
Hardware
Hardware
maintenance.
D
We
are
need
to
implement
cyber
security,
best
practices
for
the
water
treatment
plant
to
reduce
any
risk
of
cyber
security
threats.
The
EPA
is
has
additional
requirements
that
they
are
putting
on
water
and
wastewater
providers
to
ensure
that
we
are
protecting
ourselves
from
any
cyber
security
threats.
So
we're
estimating
that
that's,
you
know
a
one-time
implementation
next
year
of
300
000
and
then
we
would
have
you
know:
half
a
FTE
dedicated
to
the
utilities.
Technology
foreign
enhancement
is
Professional
Services.
D
So,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we'd
like
to
increase
our
use
of
on-call
Professional
Engineers,
and
so
that's
the
hundred
thousand,
that's
a
hundred
thousand
we're
anticipating
that
would
move
forward.
We
continue
to
to
use
that
amount
as
well
as
increase
the
Water
Resources
engineering,
Professional
Services,
to
account,
for
you
know,
protection
of
our
water
rates
and
make
sure
that
we're
using
those
efficiently.
So
those
are
the
two
ongoing.
D
So
this
next
sheet
is
a
summary
of
the
inflationary
impacts
that
we're
seeing
on
specific
line
items
in
the
water
fund.
I'll
highlight
the
three
that
are
the
the
largest
like
percent
increase.
So
that's
the
postage
and
mail
services
that
is
anticipated
to
increase
by
about
45
and
that's
due
to
materials
and
labor,
as
well
as
an
anticipated
increase
in.
E
D
The
next
one
that
is
fairly
significant
is
the
lab
chemicals
and
supplies,
that's
an
increase
of
38
and
that's
an
increase
in
cost
of
chemicals,
as
well
as
those
supplies
and
services
and
included
in
that
line
item.
So
that's
testing
for
water
quality
and,
and
we
can
test
some
things
in-house
with
at
our
lab.
That's
located
at
the
water
Allen
water
treatment,
plant,
the
rnm
supplies
and
equipment
is
a
39
increase
and
again
that's
due
to
anticipated
cost
increases
with
supplies
and
services.
D
We
are
requesting
a
four
and
a
half
percent
increase
to
the
water
rates,
so
it'd
be
four
and
a
half
percent
above
the
2023
rates,
and
this
should
result
or
anticipated
that
this
will
result
in
additional
revenue
of
about
275
000..
The
Water
connection
fees
are
increased,
based
on
the
five-year
average
of
the
engineering
news
record
construction
cost
index,
so
that
five-year
average
is
3.93
percent
using
the
past
five
years.
D
So
that
means
that
the
water
connection
fee,
which
is
currently
20
000
122
dollars,
would
increase
to
twenty
thousand
nine
hundred
and
thirteen
dollars
per
single
family
equivalent.
So,
as
the
meter
size
increases,
this
cost
to
purchase
a
water
connection
to
our
system
would
also
increase,
and
then
the
capital
investment
fee
is
planned
to
increase
every
other
year.
So
this
is
not
a
year
that
that
we
would
see
an
increase
and
I
will
know
that
this
Revenue
proposal
does
not
address
the
revenue
revenue
required
to
fund
the
lead
service
line
program.
D
We
are
working
with
the
state
to
really
understand
stand
the
funds
available
through
the
state
revolving
fund,
a
portion
of
that
will
be
principal
forgiveness
from
the
infrastructure
Bill.
However,
we
will
have
to
take
on
additional
debt
to
fund
that
program,
so
we're
working
on
the
impacts
that
we
would
see
to
rates
and
fees
to
fund
that
program
that
would
likely
be
implemented.
D
D
Okay,
so
moving
on
to
the
steward
fund,
the
same
agenda
I'll
just
these
are
the
same
slides
so
I'll
skip
through
these
go
to
the
2022
funds,
return
to
the
fund
balance
for
the
sewer
fund.
So
again
there
was
some
salary
savings
from
vacant
positions
we
did
overspend
on
the
Commodities
and
that
was
it
inflationary
increase
on
on
those
items.
D
D
So
that's
the
difference
between
those
two
line,
items
and
I'll
just
note
on
The
Debt
Service,
it
looks
like
we
might
have
paid
off
a
debt
or
some
debt
obligation,
but
it
I
from
what
I
can
tell
I
think
this
5
million
that
was
put
in
the
budget
for
2020
two
was
Incorrect
and
it
really
should
have
been
four
million.
We
we
have
not
paid
off
a
debt
obligation
in
the
sewer
fund.
We
are
close,
I
think
we
have
two
years
left
on
that
current
obligation.
D
Or
2024
budget
proposal
we
again
are
looking
at
inflationary
increases
for
the
personnel
and
commodities,
but
also
as
well.
It
looks
like
inflationary
for
Professional
Services,
again
that's
dependent
on
spr's
budget.
They
they
provide
us
those
line
items
as
they
are
developing
their
budget.
So
you'll
see
the
capital
increased
by
4.4
percent.
D
Changes
that
you
saw
on
the
water
fund,
these
are
the
space
improvements.
This
is
just
the
sewer
side
of
of
those
projects,
so
adding
space
improvements
at
the
Alamar
treatment
plant,
we'd
split
that
between
water
and
sewer,
because
Engineers
do
work
on
both
and
then
the
same
at
the
service
center.
We
have
distribution
and
collections,
so
they
would
also
have.
There
would
also
be
a
share
of
those
costs
assigned
to
the
Sewer
fund.
We
we
decided
to
combine
the
sewer
pipe
rehab
and
the
manhole
rehab
line
into
one.
D
D
This
is
what
we
think
it
will
take
to
make
the
changes
in
the
utility
billing
software
to
move
to
monthly
billing
for
the
connector
districts,
so
that
would
be
assigned
to
the
connector
districts
in
their
fee
that
they
pay
the
city
of
Inglewood
for
billing
those
accounts
and
then
inflationary
impacts.
It's
a
similar
to
the
water
fund.
We
would
see
an
increase
in
Postage
and
mail
services,
so
that
is
the
only
one
we've
listed
here
again
since
so
much
of
our
sewer
fund
budget
is
we
rely
on
spr.
D
B
D
E
D
D
The
functionality
of
the
new
system
is
so
much
better
for
e-billing
that
customers
can
go
in
sign
up
for
the
ebill
and
then
they
can
get
it
that
way
and
that
will
reduce
our
cost.
So
we
are
ready
to
track
that,
and
I
will
just
note
that
the
City
of
Thornton
actually
went
to
paperless
billing
in
2023.
E
D
A
C
D
Go
ahead:
oh
I,
I
agree
with
you
so
as
the
month
of
May
closes,
I
am
going
to
take
a
look
at
that.
So
I
can
understand
what
that
looks
like
and
then
we'll
need
June
to
really
compare
to
what
June
looked
like
you
know
in
previous
years,
but
I
agree
I'm
sure
that
there
will
be
a
decrease
in
the
revenue
that
we'd
expect.
F
F
All
right,
so
what
we're
going
to
cover
this
afternoon
for
stormwater,
quick,
Department
overview,
2022
funds
returned
and
fund
balance,
and
then
our
2024
budget
proposal
next
slide,
please
so
Public
Works.
Our
our
mission
here
is
to
promote
and
ensure
high
quality
of
life
economic
vitality
and
that
uniquely
desirable
community,
Through
delivery
of
quality
projects,
programs
and
services
and,
in
this
case,
specific
to
stormwater
our
stormwater
division
technically
at
the
fund
is
7.25
positions.
F
A
hundred
percent
positions
within
the
stormwater
group
are
our
store
water
program
manager,
compliance
specialist
and
two
maintenance.
Techs
of
those
four
positions,
three
are
filled.
We
currently
have
one
vacant
maintenance,
tech.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
under
funds
returned
the
good
news.
Is
we
actually
have
an
offer
out
on
the
table
as
of
today,
so
fingers
crossed
we're
able
to
fill
that
and
get
another
maintenance
tech
on
board.
F
So
the
program
areas
for
for
stormwater
we've
got
system,
maintenance
and
repair
planning
and
prioritization
capital
project
implementation
and
program.
Funding.
Inside
of
this
is
our
ms4,
the
municipal
separate
stormwater
compliance
program
that
is
run
by
Public
Work
storm
water
in
compliance
with
state
requirements.
F
So
the
connection
to
the
Strategic
plan
for
storm
water
is
primarily
under
the
second
bullet
there.
The
infrastructure
and
transportation
and
kind
of
that
last
line
looking
to
have
projects
that
reduce
the
risk
of
flooding
in
the
city
and
then
also
a
little
bit
under
sustainability,
providing
that
infrastructure
and
design
that
may
is
maintained
and
provides
that
economic
and
Equitable
ecological
manner
throughout
the
city.
F
So
funds
return
to
the
fund
balance.
I
think
this
is
consistent
in
all
the
presentations
you've
seen
this
afternoon
for
personnel
we've
had
quite
a
few
vacancies,
so
we
saw
those
returned
commodities
that
kind
of
ties
in
a
little
bit
on
the
stormwater
side
to
having
less
staff
and
the
need
for
some
of
those
Commodities
on
the
contractual
or
Professional
Services
side.
We
did
utilize
a
large
chunk
of
that
with
the
designs
for
capital
projects
that
are
ongoing
and
in
process
under
the
capital
line.
F
Item
you'll
see
that
there's
a
large
amount
being
returned
to
the
fund
balance.
That's
primarily
the
South
Inglewood
outfall
project.
We
did
apply
for
two
FEMA
grants
and
hopes
to
leverage
those
dollars.
Unfortunately,
we
received
word
earlier
this
year
that
we
were
unsuccessful
in
that
Pursuit,
and
so
those
funds
were
returned
to
the
fund
balance
and
we'll
talk
about
activating
those
for
23
here
in
just
a
minute,
and
then
we
have
The
Debt
Service,
which
is
part
of
that
capital
budget.
F
All
right
in
our
2024
budget
proposal,
our
salary
benefits,
you
know
just
keeping
Pace
with
inflation
there.
As
I
just
mentioned.
We
are
almost
fully
staffed
on
that
team
now,
which
is
exciting.
We're
hopeful
to
get
this
last
person
on
board
here
shortly.
Commodities
you'll
see
a
very
large
increase
there
and
we'll
talk
about
that
under
our
enhancement,
which
is
a
few
slides
down.
That's
roughly
a
300
000
increase,
which
is
the
reason
for
that
bump.
In
this
slide
contractual
Professional
Services.
F
We
are
wrapping
up
the
design
and
approval
for
the
South
Inglewood
stormwater
Basin,
which
was
a
large
chunk
of
that.
That's
why
that
is
down
Capital
we're
going
into
construction
for
the
South
Inglewood
stormwater,
Basin,
final
plans
or
in
being
reviewed,
so
we're
hoping
that
project
will
hit
the
street
here
shortly
and
then
we'll
have
some
other
small
projects
lined
up
as
well.
F
In
addition
to
in
coordination
with
utilities,
the
Hampden
project,
stormwater
and
prep
for
the
complete
streets
coming
down
the
pipe
and
then,
of
course,
our
our
debt
service
on
the
loan
foreign
to
the
last
numbers
you
guys
saw
on
on
projects
for
2024
out
to
2028.
We
got
our
clean
and
televised.
It's
our
Sam
project
surveying
and
mapping.
We're
wrapping
up
the
north
side
of
Hampden
this
year
hope
to
get
into
the
south
side
of
Hampden.
F
F
We've
got
repair
and
rehabilitate
existing
storm
water,
which
is
ongoing
process
and
challenge
within
the
city
and
then
the
South
Inglewood
drainage
plan,
which
is
a
50
50
match
from
mile
high.
So
we're
able
to
leverage
some
outside
funding
sources
and
then
the
big
ticket
item
there
is
number
five.
Is
the
South
Inglewood
storm
that
I
mentioned
those
plans
again
wrapping
up
and
hopefully
getting
out
the
bid
here
in
short
order,
and
then
tier
two
shown
on
here.
We
have
Dry
Gulch
master
plan
and
then
some
small
area,
drainage
improvements.
F
F
F
That's
gonna
be
well
above
beyond
the
value
of
the
truck,
we're
trying
to
find
other
mechanisms
and
we're
again
coordinating
with
utilities,
they're
kind
enough
to
lend
us
a
truck
every
now
and
then,
when
they're
not
having
it
in
use.
So
this
is
a
critical
piece
of
equipment
for
our
stormwater
team
to
make
sure
our
system
is
up
and
running
we're
kind
of
limping
along,
but
unfortunately
we
are.
F
As
far
as
Revenue
proposals
for
storm
water
fees,
we
are
proposing
a
7.2
percent
increase
roughly
1.38,
and
this
is
based
on
the
engineering
records
construction
cost
index
for
metro
Denver,
and
this
is
just
to
keep
you
know,
Pace
with
inflation
and
construction
costs,
as
we
continue
to
do
capital
projects
and
other
things.
This
helps
replenish
those
funds
and
keep
us
on
track.
So
we
can
get
projects
done
within
the
city,
hopefully
on
budget,
with
the
current
inflation
rates
that
we're
seeing
in
construction
and
with
that
I'll
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
