The Ci ty' s exper ience in water and sewer utili ty operation can be summarized as many years of operation of a water utility system that provides high quali ty and cost-effective water ser- vice to its customers; the extensive experience of its City Manager and Public Works Director in manag ing utility systems, including sewer systems; the employment of professional consult- ants with many years of exper ience in planning, designing and overseeing the construction and operation of sewer and other types of utility systems; and the availability of firms special- izing in providing operational and management services to initially operate the system and assist the City in employing and training supervisory and operational personnel. The financial ability of the City to provide utility service is shown by the strong financial position of the City as dis- closed in its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and Accountant's Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1986; the strong cash position of the City as of April 30, 1987; the increase in the liquidity of the cash position of the City during the past seven (7) months; and the amount of utility and other revenues and funds available to pledge toward the payment of bonds issued to acquire, improve and expand the sewer system.
