3.Allocation of Capital Costs for Sewerage Expansion
a.Finance Director Turbitt presented the model for betterment costs in the needs areas according
to assessed values, using his work to date on the Miacomet area as an example (Miacomet
because it has the fewest number of parcels and this experiment is to determine whether the
effort is warranted to model each of the areas).
i.Group discussed components of assessed values and concurred with the
recommendation of the Finance Director that the land component best reflects the
potential of any site.
ii.By unanimous consent, the group dismissed theoretical ways that costs could be
allocated as inequitable: frontage, area and per parcel are no longer under
consideration.
b.Further discussion of the principles that should guide our discussions on equitable distribution
of costs. Members are encouraged to submit thoughts to the chair so that they can be compiled
for review and action by work group with a goal of developing a policy statement to guide
assignment of capital costs for the Updated CWMP.
4.Public Outreach: to be determined
