UTILITY RATE INCREASE EFFECTIVE 2022 On October 18, 2021, the City Council approved an increase to the 2022 utility rates, including water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater. The increases are necessary to meet the utilities’ operational, capital and debt service requirements. Since City property taxes do not fund utility services, the costs must be recovered through utility fees charged to properties. In addition to inflationary increases required to operate the utilities, the City’s aging infrastructure will require major maintenance or replacement in the next several years. The cost of updates to the utility systems, rehabilitation of the Lincoln water tower, purchase of a service truck, street sweeper and other large equipment planned over the next ten years is estimated to exceed $35 million. Funding of the capital purchases is anticipated to come from the use of estimated available cash and the issuance of debt which requires the increase in fees. Printer-friendly Version Letter from the Mayor Welcome to the City of St. Paul Park St. Paul Park was first established in the late 1880's as a manufacturing town that has evolved into a beautiful residential community along the banks of the Mississippi River just five miles downstream from St. Paul. St. Paul Park is known for its ‘small town feel’. It is a place where neighbors know one another and care about each other. Families raise their children here and generations can be found continuing to call this city their home. Our parks within the city are outstanding. There are active parks with playgrounds, picnic areas, walking trails, and sports facilities and also passive parks that provide a tranquil setting that honors our Veterans or wooded trails along the river for those in search of a peaceful interaction with nature. We also have a boat launch that provides a connection to the Mississippi River that invites recreation, fishing and boating. with most of the land developed in St. Paul Park our future growth is carefully focusing on infill and redevelopment of residential, commercial and light industrial areas. As we plan for the future of St. Paul Park we hope to provide more options for affordable life cycle housing for our residents while increasing opportunities for employment and amenities within the city limits. St. Paul Park offers many services and amenities within the city as well as numerous opportunities to volunteer. There are multiple churches to choose from and both public (District 833) and private schools. We have an Athletic Association offering opportunities for kids to play in a variety of sports. We have our own Police and Fire Departments, an outstanding Public Works Department, full-time city staff and many Commissions that all serve the residents of St. Paul Park. There is also a Heritage Festival every year during the third weekend of August that boasts a parade, mud volleyball, tractor pulls, a street dance, and much more! As newly appointed Mayor of this city, where I have lived and raised my children, I am humbled and excited to serve the citizens of St. Paul Park. Sincerely, Sandra J.
