outstanding debt liability and the practice of expenditure restraint through the budget process.
Regarding the Water Utility, Ms. Hellenbrand acknowledged the need to proceed with a
simplified rate case through the Public Service Commission (PSC) due to the Utilities operating
results falling below the authorized rate of return for several years. She went on to note the
minimal unrestricted cash flow balance and recommended the City apply for as many
simplified rate cases as the PSC would allow, unless it is determined a full rate case is
required.
Ms. Hellenbrand concluded the presentation with a brief recap of the Sewer Utility results,
noting sufficient cash flow and rates being at an acceptable level to cover capital costs.
