          FY 2024 Highlights
          -   The Utility Fund revenues are projected at $40,426,600 for an increase of $6,281,400. This is a 18.4%
            increase when compared with the FY 2023 Adopted Budget.
          -   Personnel:  The Utility Fund includes resources needed to manage and operate the City’s utility system.
            This fund will cover its portion of employee pay adjustments and the increases in benefit costs as
            described in the General Fund portion of the Transmittal Letter.


          -   Other expenditures:  Funding has been requested for equipment and facility improvements including
            the control value rebuild for the PS1 and Miron Elevated Storage Tanks ($60,000), the chemicals and
            electricity for the residual control system at Pump Station 1 ($46,500), Lead and Copper Rule Revisions
            (LCRR) Program ($405,718), and sewer tap installations ($20,000).

          -   The Adopted FY 2024 Utility Fund budget provides 192 days of working capital. This exceeds the City’s
            fund balance policy for the Utility Fund, which states that the “…goal shall be to maintain a fund balance
            of 60 days of working capital in the Utility Fund…with the optimum goal of 90 days of working capital.”
