IV. PUBLIC SERVICE K'4PLO"'L,4ENT PROGRAM FOR PROBATIONERS
In December of 1983.' Judge Geocaris, Presiding Judge
of the Third Munic ipal District, wrote to the Village
seeking our cooperation in implementing a Community
Service Sentencing Program. The purpose of the Program
is to offer defendants an alternative to sentencing
and fines by working in a municipality or other not for
prof it institution as a condition of their supervision
fr cpm. the C our t.
Subsequently, our General Counsel, David Newman., reviewed
the Program as outlined by Judge Geocar Ifs and his opinion
regarding our liability exposure is attached for your
review. If the Mayor and Board of Trustees decide to
partic lipate in the Program, Ilt would be appropriate to
adopt a Resolution authori z ing participation at a
regular Village Board meeting.
111 . 'AATER AND SEWER FUND FINANCING AND RATES
After nearly a year of study, consultant reports and
Public Hearings, the Mayor and Board of Trustees adopted
- -1
an approach to fund our Water System operations and
-0 mprovements through user charges and a Property Tax
L
levied through Special Service District #5. The Special
District was created in Der -Ember, 1982 at which time we
agreed to incremental increases in the Special Service
D i1strict Levy seeking in the end to f inance Water Agency
f ixed costs through thi's Levy.
In our original computations, we had predicted water
rates of $1.97 per thousand gallons effective May 1, 1984.
This was accomplished by Ordinance #3268. With the
implementation of the Special Service District and the
incremental increases in the Levy, we then predicted that
the water rates would go to $2.19 per thousand gallons
effective in 1984.
Attached is our, recent long-term revenue and
expenditure projection for the Water and Sewer Fund
prepared by our Finance Director,, Dave Jepson. Taking
into consideration the preliminary budget numbers we
have for 1984-1985 and the most refined costs from the
Water Agency, we now calculate that our water rate
effect I've with the collections in May, 1984 can be
revised downward to $2.07 per thousand gallons rather
C)
than the proposed $2.19 per thousand gallons.
If the Mayor and Board of Trustees agree with our analysis
and recommenda tions, then it would be necessary for us
to amend our Rate Ordinance to provide for this new
f igure. This action should be done in February so that
we have adequate time to notify our users of the pending
change.

V I. WELL #16 REPAIR. S
In October of 1983, the Mayor and Board authorized repairs
to Well #16 (located behind Plywood Minnesota) not to
exceed $63,000. After pulling the Well, the pump and
the shaft, we have found additional items needing repairs
tha't will go beyond our current authorization.
Attached is a memo from the Director of Public Wor k s
together with the analysis of Layne -Western outlining the
difficulties and the projected costs. Mr. Weeks will
be availble at the meeting to discuss this matter and
review his MEMO. The additional expense can be covered
out of the existing Water and Sewer budget since the
Golf Course Water ?4a. in Extension will come in some
$20,000 under budget.
If the Board decides to authorize the additional expens e,
it will be necessary to schedule this matter for a
regular Board Agenda.
