Good Morning CNRED,
I received a request from a local City planner asking if there is any sort of data base that displays municipal utility services and payment amounts for activities such as stormwater, refuse & recycling, fire, transportation, streets, etc.
This community in particular will see a 14% decrease in shared revenue from the State, and is considering the idea of segregating some of its services as a utility/enterprise fund, as opposed to keeping it on the general ledger.
Any suggestions to illustrate what various municipalities have done would be most helpful. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi, Karl. I see that Brian has sent you a useful resource on this topic. I have a call into DOR to see if that have any more than just a listing of special tax districts, like utility districts. The Wisconsin Public Service Commission has annual report data online as well as listings of different types of utilities. Go to http://psc.wi.gov/ and look under annual reports. For a listing of utilities by type, I looked at the site map to see how they organized their page and they have listings of each type of utility. I will let you know towards the end of next week what I learn from the Department of Revenue.
Have a good day.
Kate
