Consideration of staff At the April 12th Board meeting
report on re-appraisal the staff recommended a re
of the District’s current appraisal of the current
connection—charge schedule connection—charge schedule in
view of the fact that the col
lections for the first two years and nine months were $824,000
less than was anticipated in the Bartle Wells Associates,
Municipal Financing Consultants’report to the Board,dated
April 20,1965,recommending a connection charge.
This deficiency occurred for two reasons:(i)The report
4 anticipated cdnstruction of 700 new units per year.Th.~ring
the past three years,considerably fewer dwellings have been
constructed~(2)The Municipal Financing Consultants’recom
•rnendation to escalate the connection charge by $5.00 per year
•was not incorporated into the District’s connection-charge
ordinance.
The Board,on April 12th,directed the staff to make a complete
study of the financing required to construct the District’s
ultimate sewerage facilities and recommend a connection-charge
schedule that will enable the District to finance its capital
improvements without increasing the ad valorem tax rate.
The Staff submitted a written report,dated August 29th,
entitled “Re-Appraisal of District’s Current Connection Charge
Schedule”,suggesting three alternatives for financing $2,366,000
to construct the ultimate needed facilities in the District,
as follows:
(1)Increasing the connection-charge to an average
of $200 over the next 20 years
(2)Raising $1,280,000 by additional ad valorern taxes
(2.l )during the next 20 years with the connection
charges remaining at the present rate

(3)A combination,of a lesser increase in the con
nection charge and some ad valorem tax financing
of capital improvements.
Following a lengthy discussion concerning the matter and a
review of the original connection charge recommendations of
Bartle Wells Associates,Municipal Financing Consultants it
was moved,seconded and duly carried:
That the General Counsel be directed to prepare for the Board?s
consideration an ordinance,effective January 1,1969,providing
for an increase in the basic connection charge from $120 to
$140 and increasing the plumbing fixture unit charge from
$6.00 to $7.00.The Board further directed that an automatic
escalation clause for an annual increase of $5.00 per basic
connection charge and .25ç~per plumbing fixture unit charge
be incorporated into the ordinance,with such escalation taking
effect January 1st of each year unless postponed by Board
resolution.
