Rate Analysis/Staff Recommendation – 5c_B
PROs
• 5c_B holds rate flat at $0.05,
never reaches $0.06.
• Service district still meets
financial obligation
• Extends the life of the service
district.
CONs
• At a $0.05 rate it will take a little
longer to generate the same
amount of revenue for projects.
• No material impact to project
implementation.
• Both models eliminate the need for bonding based on growth in AV that
has been greater than 3% each year to date.
• The models and rate will continue to be reviewed annually and adjusted
for changes in AV and project scheduling.
• Staff recommends using the 5c_B finance model, and holding the rate flat
at $0.05 in FY 2018.
