Eric,please talk about the deficit and where you are <br /> with that. Is it the water or the sewer funding? <br /> Eric Horvath,Director of Public Works with offices on the 13th floor of the County-City Building, <br /> stated, We're spending down our reserves on the water side, so we have the rate increase that took <br /> effect last year. We're purposely ramping up to do some of our Capital projects. It always seems <br /> to take longer than they think by the time we get the design done and get it to construction, so the <br /> program called for us to spend down some of that cash balance while we were trying to get some <br /> of that Capital done since we hadn't done Capital in a number of years. That is projected as part <br /> of the budget, so you'll see the cash reserves going down slightly. <br /> Committee Chair White asked, Are you recommending rate increases to deal with flood issues? <br /> INTEGRITY SERVICE'ACCESSIBILITY <br /> JENNIFER M.COFFMAN BIANCA L.T IRADO JOSEPH R MOLNAR <br /> CHIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERK <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 1227 W.Jefferson Blvd.I South Bend,Indiana 46601 I p 574.235.9221 I f 574.235.9173 I www.southbendin.gov <br />
