JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: FINANCE DIRECTOR DATE: NOVEMER 5, 2012 SUBJECT: PROPOSED WATER AND SEWER RATE INCREASE PURPOSE: To present for the Board's consideration an ordinance increasing the Village's water and sewer rates. BACKGROUND: Since 1990 the Village has followed the practice of approving moderate annual increases in water and sewer rates, as opposed to implementing large increases periodically. The 2013 Budget included an anticipated 9.5% increase in the combined water and sewer rate. Results from an updated five -year rate study prepared in response to the City of Chicago water rate increase indicate a need for this higher than typical adjustment to village rates for billings after January 1, 2013. DISCUSSION: The following table illustrates the recommended rates as reflected in the proposed ordinance. Inside Village Current Rate Per 1,000 Gallons ........ Proposed Rate Per 1,000 Gallons ....— Percent Ch ange Water $5.98 $6.71 12.2% Sewer $1.71 $1.71 0.0% Combined $7.69 $8.42 9.5% For sewer users not connected to the Village's water system, whether located inside or outside the Village, the monthly charge per dwelling unit does not change from the current rate of $4.58. No increase is proposed for the $5.00 per month sewer construction fee.

No increase is proposed for the $5.00 per month sewer construction fee. Water and Sewer Rate Increase November 5, 2012 Page 2 If a Mount Prospect household uses 8,000 gallons of water during a one -month period, their monthly water and sewer usage fee would be $67.36, an increase of $5.84 from the current rate. No increase is being proposed for the monthly availability charge assessed customers outside of Special Service Area No. 5. For most customers, those with a 5/8" water line, the charge will remain at $10. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the Village Board approve the attached ordinance increasing water and sewer rates effective for bills rendered on or after January 1, 2013, David O.

Lisa Angell, Village Clerk Village of Mount Prospect Mount Prospect, Illinois INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - DATE: NOVEMBER 12, 2012 SUBJECT: IMRF RESOLUTION 6.74 - TAXABLE ALLOWANCES As you may recall the Village Board approved a resolution on November 7, 2012, considering the auto allowance for the Village Manager as compensable wages for IMRF purposes. This resolution came as result of a random audit by an IMRF auditor. The other items previously identified by the auditor have been addressed administratively. However, staff determined that there are a few other employees that have auto allowances that should be included as compensable wages by a similar resolution. Therefore, the attached resolution includes the auto allowance for the Director of Human Services, Deputy Director of Human Services, Social Workers, Public Health nurse, and the Community Connection Center Coordinator as compensable wages. The attached resolution was recommended by the IMRF auditors to consider the auto allowance as IMRF earnings. DAVID STRAHL c: Village Manager Michael E.
