Review of Financial Requirements —The General Manager reviewed in detail the District’s funding requirements for the period 1972/73 through 1976/77.Based on the financial requirements dictated by the construction schedule for needed Master Plan trunk sewer facilities,cash flow projections indicate it will be necessary for District No.3 to raise approximately $5 million, over and above those funds that will be produced by the current tax rate,by the end of the 1973/74 fiscal period.Alternative methods of proceeding are: a.Not build the facilities.There would then be restrictions on new connections in many areas of the district. b.Pass a bond issue which all taxpayers would pay for during the next 20 years. c.Establish connection charges for new construction throughout the district. DIRECTORS PRESENT: OTHERS PRESENT: Uniform Connection #3 1/3/73 It was pointed out that Senate Bill 90,the tax reform bill recently adopted by the legislature,would appear to rule out the possibility of increasing the tax rate as a means of raising additional revenues. Review of Master Plan Facilities,and Possible Revenue Derived from Connection Charges -Mr.Harper and Conrad Hohener of Boyle Engineering,District’s consulting engineers,reviewed the Master Plan for construction of needed Interceptor sewers to provide the communities within the District with proper sewerage facilities.The facilities are based on the land use plans developed by the local communities and will require a capital expenditure of approximately $28 million during the next five years. Mr.Hohener also reviewed the written reports entitled “Study of Possible Revenue derived from Connection Charges”and “Study of Relationship Between Assessed Valuation and Generated Sewage Flow of Various Land-Use Classifications Within County Sanitation Districts Nos.3 and 7”. Review of Proposed Connection Fees —The activities of the Special Committee on Connection Fee Policy were then reviewed briefly. The committee has considered the matter of connection charges for the District at and recommends the following: Single Family Dwellings —A basic connection fee of $50.000 per single family dwelling unit.It is recommended that the single family dwellings be charged the minimum fee in that the districts sewer system capacity has primarily anticipated this type of general development. Multiple Dwellings —A fee of $125.00 per multiple dwelling unit.The type of densities which are accompanied by development of apartments places an unusual demand on the sewer system when compared to a single family development when the relationship of assessed valuation and sewage flow generated by the respective types of units is considered. Commercial and Industrial BuIldings -For commercial, industrial and public buildings a charge of $50.00 for a six—inch building sewer connection Increasing to $300.00 for a twelve—inch building sewer connection. These charges are nominal as the connections are subject to an excess capacity connection charge based on the actual use of sewerage facilities.I~iIIi Written Communications —The Secretary reported that four written communications on proposed Ordinance No.303 had been received,three of which were received and filed by the Board at their regular meeting on December 13,1972,requesting postponement of the hearing due to the holiday season.
