Mrs. Balser stated that it is scheduled for the next meeting. Committee briefly discussed and agreed to add this item to the September Agenda. Councilmember Stolzmann asked if there are any further items that need to be add and Mr. Kowar stated not at this time. Stolzmann stated we can always add them between meetings. VII. Dashboard Mr. Kowar started by saying that Mr. Ahrens has been doing a great job of connecting multiple systems and developing the high level architecture to provide something to review. The Committee discussed the charts beginning on page 10 (Water Utility Chart). Mrs. Balser asked how/what information should we include without duplicating the Finance Reports. Councilmember Maloney explained the difference between the reports. The Committee noted that this is not a complete picture of the financial report but a dashboard of key components. It was agreed to change the title from Operating Revenue to just Revenue on the gray bar of the Utilities-Water, Wastewater and Storm Water Design Draft Charts and leave the other titles for expenses. On the Wastewater Utility Chart, Mr. Kowar stated that there isn’t much difference between Wastewater and Storm Water as they are straight forward funds and there’s not a lot to show. If flows are shown on the wastewater it would be 2 to 2.1 MGDs all the time. We could work on adding any permit violation information. Councilmember Stolzmann stated she understands there’s no variation in flows and thinks it’s worth showing so we are consistent. That way it’s a good way to show people why we do this average consumption. It was concluded that Mr. Kowar will include notable violations. Storm Water Utility Chart, Mr. Kowar said this is where we collect the fee and it is stable. Storm water is just capital project expense. The projects are bigger than Revenues and is a multi-year thing to save up and spend/save. Councilmember Stolzmann asked if the committee had any other discussions and stated these were great charts and thanked Mr. Ahrens for the great job on putting them together. No further discussion and/or comments. VIII. Cost of Service 4
