Pseudo- Managers' 13riefing
It's been a relatively quiet week, albeit it took CDOT five days to figure out which and if
it was there traffic light, which was blinking non-stop, Allen got his first few snow days
under his belt, along with trying to "shore-up" some 'post 'pavi,ng proje,ct are~s. '
, '
Though I can iinagine it was a far different scenario on the Big Red Boat for Chuck (or
" ,
whate~er color th,e ship is). We do expect Chuck to be back in the Valley sometime this
. weekend - that is if they can drag him (screaming and yelling as I envision it) off thaflast
palm tree lined.beach befor,e his cruises ~mes' to an end. '
We' preface Wednesday D:ights Board meeting with what I anticipate to be the final
Budget Workshop (dinner will be served). I will ask that the grant 'allocatiqns be decided
upon during the' workshop. We'can also answer any additipnal q~estion you may have in
'regards.t1'J ~-:: budget.","" you'are receiving an updated budget in this packet.- . '
, .
The remainder of the budget workshop'will be a discussion of fact, thoughts, ideals and
pipe dreams in regard 'to long range budgeting and ca~g for and predictions of the
financial health of the Town. I ask that everyone arrive with an open mind, 'for it ismy
hope that your opinions, stances and agendas will be questioned, discussed and .
understood. I look fo~ard.to the opportunity to -get' our sighi~ off of the current issues in
front of us and focused on our future.
During the Board meeting there are three. action items to act 'upon. Infomi'ation for all
action items and discussion items are in your package. '
, I'll see you at theAnn~al Chamber dinner tomorrow evening.

RE: Public Notice Number 200075318
Dear Corps:
On behalf of the Mayor Dennis Soles and the Board of Trustees, I want to thank you for hosting
the Maryvale wetlands public meeting, We would also like to follow with some additional
comments from the Town of Fraser resulting from that meeting.
In regards to the request for and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Maryvale project,
the Town Board discussed this issue and feels that it is not an appropriate requirement for this
project. It is, however, our opinion that an EIS would be a valuable planning tool for our entire
area to use in development related decisions. A truly effective EIS would address the entire
Upper Fraser River Valley.
. Our objection to an EIS for this project does not suggest a lack of concern for the issues raised at
the public meeting, Rather our concern relates to the impacts of an EIS on other issues, For
example, currently the property east of the river is accessed via an old one lane bridge.
Construction traffic and pedestrian trail traffic are both using this bridge today and we are
concerned about safety issues. Additionally, the development of the Maryvale property enhances
the feasibility of consolidating Grand County Water and Sanitation District and the Fraser
Sanitation District, in fact they are currently negotiating this matter, They are addressing
wastewater treatment plant design issues and are under pressure to complete improvements by
the state regardless of consolidation, Undue delays relative to Maryvale may cause them to
move forward without consolidation which would negate an opportunity to significantly improve
the effluent from these facilities directly into the Fraser River. Finally, we believe that an EIS
should be of a broader scope than this individual project.
To reiterate, it is our position that an Environmental Impact Statement should not be a
requirement of this wetland permit.
We appreciate your efforts relative to the Maryvale development. If the Town be of any further
assistance, feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
. Chuck Reid
Manager, Town of Fraser

ladies and Gentlemen:
Submitted attached is our Plant Investment Fee Study for Fraser's water utility.
This study incorporates the policies and procedures previously reviewed with the Board. This
. Study affects primarily new development (since plant investment fees are only charged to new
customers - or expanded use).
Plant Investment Fee (PIF) levels have been rationally developed using two approaches: growth-
pay-its-own-way, and unit equity. Recommendations derived from the study include:
1. Revise the Town water ordinances to reflect the policies stated herein.
2. Develop and adopt design criteria and minimum design standards for "retail" and
"customer" water facilities, which are to be designed and installed by developers
or builders,
3. Impose a water resource fee (WRF) of $3,OOO/SFE. This amount approximates the
acquisition cost of new water source - but is significantly less than the unit equity
value. Since this is a new fee for Fraser, we recommend keeping it at the lowest
justifiable level.
4, Increase the PIF to approximately $3,030/SFE. This level is based on the
. estimated capital cost of facilities required to support new development. This value
should be periodically reviewed to reflect actual costs and growth patterns.

~ SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
A comprehensive water utility rate study generally is accomplished in two parts - with two
separate objectives, These are:
1, Determination of the amount of income needed. Recurring income is that needed
to sustain, on a perpetual basis, the operations and maintenance and replacement
of the utility system, Design capital income is usually a one-time specific situation
that is dependent upon the capital improvement budgets for proposed expansion
or upgrading of facilities. Required capital income must be recognized if cash-in-
hand is not sufficient for the proposed CIP.
2, Equitable allocation of income needs to differentiate types of customers. It is
impossible to precisely allocate income equitably to each customer. Readiness to
serve costs, fire protection demands, actual water use and peak demands, and
location, all affect the allocation of costs on a rational basis, A rate study involves
the art of setting fees as close as possible to equity - but on a practical basis. For
. a water utility, the addition of water meters aids in that rate setting.
') Rate studies are assumed to normally address recurring services charges;
./
however, in reality, there are two categories of customers on a time basis: one
being existing customers and one being future customers, It is to obtain income
equity between these two classes that is involved with the setting of a system
development fee.
The purpose of this report is to provide rationale for developing a reasonable water utility system
development fee schedule.
The scope of this study relates only to the setting of system development fees, that is one-time
capital fees charged to new customers. The term "Plant Investment Fee" (PI F) is assumed to be
synonymous with "System Development Fee" (SDF) for this study.
APPROACH
Plant Investment Fees are one time charges made to new customers tapping into the Town's
. existing water system. PIF income should relate only to the capital program and not be used to
support the ongoing operations budget. For example, PIF proceeds should be reserved for capital
9 needs, such as:
- -- - ----- - --- ---
. . Purchase of water rights;
:) . Construction of new "wholesale" infrastructure, or expansion of existing facilities;
. Major facility rehabilitations or replacements which are normally capitalized.
By connecting a new in-Town customer to the water system, and accepting a PIF, the Town is
essentially committing resources to provide water to that customer permanently,
PIF levels can be computed using two approaches. It is then proper to assess a fee, that fee
being the higher of the two results, The two methodologies are summarized following:
Growth-Pays-Its-Own-Way
The premise behind this approach is that growth should not result in increased costs to existing
customers. Thus, PIF's are based on the incremented capital costs of service for new
development. In order to properly determine PIF levels under this approach, it is necessary to
have an accepted Comprehensive Plan for development (which provides growth rates and
locations). It is also necessary to have a corresponding water system Master Plan which
predesigns, schedules, and estimates the cost of the long-term capital improvement program
. (CIP).
) Equity
, The Water Enterprise Fund is essentially a non-profit corporation in which each customer within
the Town has an equitable "share" in the utilities value. It is rational, then, that a non-customer,
to become a shareholder in the utility, should purchase a relevant share in an amount equal to its
equity value.
This has a practical result: generally utilities which have high equity values (in other words have
good facilities which are paid for) have relatively low continuing service charges, Conversely,
utilities with low value (e.g. poor facilities and/or high debt) need to set higher service charges,
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
The management of a municipal utility, in this case a water system, can be segregated into two
functional categories: (a) Operations and Maintenance (O&M), and (b) Capital Improvement
Program (CIP).
Facilities are constructed and/or replaced or upgraded as part of a capital improvement program,
. Once constructed, these facilities primarily become the responsibility of the utility on an operating
~) 1-2 95-022.00600.Seclion I
-- - - ---
-------
. basis and operations management assumes the responsibility of operating, maintaining and
I") keeping these facilities in a useable condition. The financial link between the two functions is that
-. /
the operating budget (recurring income) generally includes a reserve for depreciation; this reserve
fund is banked as a capital fund for use in replacement of major infrastructure.
Plant Investment Fee Income, the subject of this study, is intended to relate entirely to the CIP;
this fee income should not be used for operating expenses.
CA TEGORIZA TION OF ASSETS
For financial/management purposes, all fixed utility facilities can be functionally assigned to one
of three categories as described following. Note, that in addition to the three categories for fixed
assets, there is another group of capital assets which is generally thought of as short term and
include such things as backhoes, pickups, computers, word processors and other operating
equipment that are usually capitalized. These are not the subject of this study.
Customer Facilities
Customer facilities are those that serve only one individual customer. Therefore their size, quality
. and operating condition may not directly affect other utility customers. For the Fraser water utility,
customer facilities consist of corporation stops put on the Town main and customer service
) pipelines, including curb valve, meter, pressure regulating valve, and other related appurtenances.
Local ("Retail") Facilities
Retail facilities are those which generally serve an identifiable local area such as a subdivision
within the Town service area. The local facilities category includes water distribution pipes which
serve a group of lots or customers of a subdivision, and are generally in streets or rights-of-way.
Local facilities include fire hydrants, valves, and other appurtenances which are part of the
distribution system.
Regional ("Wholesale") Facilities
Wholesale facilities are those which generally serve large areas of the Town, or may serve the
entire Town. The master planning and usability of these facilities interrelate with almost all
customers, and will affect total system costs and total system serviceability. For the Fraser water
system, wholesale assets would include water rights and augmentation plans, raw water
reservoirs, raw water conduits, water treatment facilities, wells and well pumping stations, major
treated water transmission lines, storage tanks and booster pump stations. Occasionally, water
. transmission and distribution functions can be provided in a dual use pipeline by one conduit; in

:) PRESENT POLICIES
GENERAL
Management of the Fraser Water Utility is the responsibility of the Town Board, operating through
the Administrator. Present policies are stated in several ordinances and resolutions as follows.
Ordinance Nil 75 Oct, 1978
86 Aug, 1980
93 June, 1981
127 Mar, 1984
173 Dec, 1988

10-2-94
Ordinance Nil 75 was comprehensive and is the base document; later ordinances modify
Ordinance 75.
Provisions of these documents, which affect the Town's water utility CIP, and thus the PIF setting,
are summarized following.
OWNERSHIP
New or replacement customer facilities are the cost responsibility of the customer. Meters are
required; all but the meters are the maintenance responsibility of the customer.
e.
[-~\
.j
. CHANGE OF USE
.:J" A customer may not change or extend use without consent of the Town.
CONNECTION FEES
The cost of service connections to be paid by the customer/applicant.
PLANT INVESTMENT FEES (PIF's OR SOF's)
A common denominator unit, the single family equivalent (SFE or EQR) is defined and used to set
PIF income for new users. An SFE value is to be assigned to all customers other than single-
family residential. Ordinance 75 gives the characteristics of an average SFE in terms of water
demand limitations. It also contains an SFE Table and Rate Schedule. This Table does not
adequately differentiate between size of new customers, other than for residential categories
(modified by Ordinance 86). The PIF was established at $2,OOO/SFE in 1984.
EXTENSION OF SERVICE
. Line extensions (which can generally be categorized as Local Facilities) are paid for by
Developers. There are provisions for rebates - but only to be derived from other customers, and
) not from Town PIF's, or rate income. Presumably, this is for later intervening development.
Extensions can be accomplished by any of three methods: a) advance payments to Town; b) by
Developer's contractor; or c) by Developer construction. The choice is left to the Town Board. In
any case, the Town must approve engineering and construction, all at the expense of the
Developer.
There is not a clear definition between local and regional facilities. The Section relating to mains
also makes reference to storage and pumping facilities. Evidently, in some cases, these can be
regarded as Local Facilities.
CUSTOMER FACILITIES (SERVICE LINES)
Service connections outside of the Town Limits, and connections larger than ~" must be
specifically approved by the Town Board.
Service lines are to be constructed to Town Standards.

I~.) RECOMMENOED POLICIES - EXTENSION OF SERVICE
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Water service will be furnished to new customers only after all of the following conditions are
satisfied:
. The proposed new Service Area/Customer is included within the Fraser City limits, or the
Board has furnished a written specific exception pursuant to the terms of a written
agreement.
. Regional Facilities needed to serve the Area/Customer have been provided by the Town.
. All Local Facilities needed to serve the Area/Customer are in place and have had design
and construction approval by the Town's Engineer.

disposal system, or on-site drainage detention facilities shall be planned or constructed within the
boundaries of the Town without the express written consent of the Town Board.
POLICIES - CUSTOMER FACILITIES
1. Customer facilities are to be constructed by the customer or his builder; or, with permission
from the Town, may be partially preconstructed by the Developer.
2. Customer facilities are generally not those which are engineered for a specific customer.
The Town will provide design standards and minimum specifications for service lines,
which are to be adhered to by each customer.
3. All costs of construction of customer facilities shall be paid for by the customer.
4. The Town representative must inspect each service line before it is backfilled and placed
. in service. The cost of such inspection shall be included in a tap fee.

.
. POLICIES - RETAIL FACILITIES
~ Retail facilities shall be designed by an engineer registered in Colorado and may be
1.
chosen by the Developer; or, at the Developer's option, the Town can design such facilities
using the Town's Engineer.
2. The Town will provide master planning input into the design, and will provide minimum
design criteria and standards. However, the Engineer of Record is responsible for the
successful design of the subject retail facilities.
3. The Developer shall provide the Town with a request for service and a preliminary design
for the subject retail facilities. Such preliminary designs shall be reviewed by the Town's
Engineer, modified if necessary, and be approved prior to submission of final design
drawings.
4. During the preliminary design submittal phase, if the Town determines that certain lines
should be oversized to accommodate a simultaneous transmission function, then the Town
. shall so notify the Developer and will agree to be responsible for the oversize costs in
amounts approved by the Town. In some cases the Developer may be required to prepay
) oversize costs, or to extend a connecting line; in such cases the Town will enter into a
rebate contract (maximum 1 O-year duration).
5. Final design drawings and specifications shall be reviewed and approved by the Town
before construction is started. Construction shall be in accordance with the Town
approved drawings and specifications.
6. Inspection of construction of the retail facilities (for quality control only) must be conducted
by the Town or its Engineer.
7. The Developer shall provide adequate easements or street rights-of-way for the facilities
at no cost to the Town. The completed facilities shall be deeded to the Town and shall
include record drawings and a one-year warranty so that any defects discovered in the first
year shall be paid for by the Developer. After that period, the Town shall assume
perpetual maintenance, operation and replacement responsibilities for such retail facilities.
8. The Developer shall pay all costs of retail facilities including preliminary design, final
. design, Town design review, Town inspection, construction, testing, and warranty.

.
. POLICIES - WHOLESALE FACILITIES
~
1. The Town shall plan the design, construction, and financing of all wholesale facilities.
2. It is intended that the contribution of the Developer, or new owners, in the form of a Plant
Investment Fee (PIF) is to be considered as fair compensation for the City's provision of
such wholesale facilities.
3. In certain cases, it may be determined that a specific development will result in the need
for wholesale facilities, for which the cost would not be initially covered by the plant
investment fee - or potential income from the development. In this case, in order to make
the project feasible, the Town may require the Developer to either prepay plant investment
fees or provide funds for the construction of needed wholesale facilities with a rebate
agreement. It is the intent of this provision that the Town will not be responsible for risk
capital needed to finance new development.
Note: In the case of extension of transmission lines to a development, the Town may also
. agree to require rebates to be paid by future Developers who might connect to the
intervening connection facilities.
) 4. Utility assets such as computers, billing machines, trucks, and similar equipment are not
considered wholesale facilities. However, they are considered as assets for the utility; and,
for the purposes of financial management, may be classified as wholesale items.
5. Water Resource Fee
It is recommended that the Town divide the PIF into two components:
. a facilities PIF, and
. a water resource fee (WRF).
The reason for this is that water rights availability is limited in the Fraser area - but that
adequate water rights are mandatory to the provision of service. The resulting policies are:
the petitioner shall deed to the Town water resources adequate for the proposed
development (in the Town's opinion); or pay the WRF - at the Town's option.

r. SECTION IV
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
GENERAL
An analysis of the Town's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is necessary to estimate the
proposed PIF using the growth-pays-its-own-way approach. PIF income should be adequate to
pay for the additional infrastructure needed to supply water to the new development - so that
rate income from existing customers does not have to be used for these capital extensions. The
amount of debt assumed for new development should not exceed the existing unit debt for present
customers.
Generally, water utility infrastructure can be constructed or acquired - it is only a matter of cost.
However, in Colorado, water resources are limited so that it may become either impossible to
acquire additional water - or increasingly very expensive. It is because of this difference that it
is recommended that Fraser schedule its system development fee income into two components:
the WRF to reflect the value of water source; and the PIF to reflect the cost of physical water
C_' supply system facilities.
WATER RESOURCE FEE
The WRF rate will primarily apply to development other than Maryvale, since Maryvale does have
water rights and an approved augmentation plan which will be transferred to the Town.
The value of useable water rights in the Fraser area has been recently estimated (Letter Report,
McLaughlin Water Engineers, Ltd., dated March 30, 1999). This document estimates that value
of water rights availability to be $2,376/SFE (single family residence or equivalent). Present Town
policy for ground water source is to require the developer to drill and develop the well(s) in order
to demonstrate the existence of an actual useable, physical water source. The present unit cost
for a successful well, similar to those now in service at Fraser, is approximately $400/SFE.
Since water availability in the Fraser Valley is becoming more limited, it is our opinion that a year
2000 value for the Fraser WRF should be not less than $3,OOO/SFE.

~. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT REQUIREMENTS
.'
The Town does not have a complete CIP or Master Plan containing current construction cost
estimates. A Master Planning Report, Integrated Water and Sewer Utilities for the Town of Fraser
Area (McLaughlin Water Engineers, Ltd., dated November 1995) can be used as a basis for
estimating water wholesale infrastructure costs needed to serve the Maryvale development (as
well as other Fraser growth areas).
Table IV-A is an approximate capital improvement program budget, based on probable year 2000
cost levels for wholesale water improvements included in the Master Plan. This budget indicates
that approximately $7,710,000 (at year 2000 cost levels) would be required to complete the water
system wholesale capital improvement program. If the Town were obligated to invest in these
facilities prior to obtaining PIF income, growth projections would be required and interest on
borrowed capital added to the PIF rate. However, Town growth policy, as stated, is to require
developers to prepay fees and/or advance risk capital as needed. Therefore, it is not necessary
to increase the PIF to account for borrowing.
The projected development for the Maryvale area is approximately 2,800 SFE. The unit PIF for
c. the year 2000, based on the growth-pays-its-own-way approach, can be estimated as:
)
*7,710.000 = $2,753/SFE
2,800 SFE
Because of the nature of these cost estimates, and in consideration of the proposed policies, it
is recommended that a 10% safety factor be added to this number; i.e., the year 2000 PIF should
be set at approximately $3,030/SFE.

A. SECTION V
, ) EQUITY APPROACH
-'
BASIS
Through past investments in the base water system, the Town has developed an equity position
in it's water utility. The Town water system is owned and operated as a non-profit enterprise fund;
each customer has, in effect, a share in the net system value. A new user should contribute at
least the proportionate share of equity that the new user will "own", when connected to the Town
water system.
A customer inventory was furnished by the Town. The SFE is used as a common denominator
to allocate costs - and is also applicable for the allocation of equity. With some interpretation of
this inventory, the unit equity calculations can assume a present SFE value of 800.
WA TER RESOURCE FEE
For water rights, the present value should be essentially the same as the cost for new water. The
. value of the existing Fraser water rights portfolio was estimated at approximately $5.5 million in
the March 1999 letter report.
)
The unity equity value for the WRF, then, would be:
$5,500,000/800 = $6,875.
FACILITIES VALUATION
Table V-A is an estimate of present value for the Fraser wholesale water system. Distribution
("retail") lines are not included since present Town policy is to require developers or builders to
contribute these facilities without cost to the Town.
The Table presents a RCNLD (Reproduction Cost New Less Depreciation) valuation. The intent
is to value the facilities at present day dollar levels - but assuming construction could be done
under original conditions.
The calculated unit facilities equity value is then determined as indicated in Table V-A. Note that
since this value is lower than the actual incremental costs to serve, the value determined in
. Section IV should govern.

Revenues
I The estimated 2000 Fund Balance does not yet match the 1999 audit. Weare
working
with Paul Backes to finalize this number, which will be shown on the finalized
budget:
I Sales tax now includes the vendon fee (previously shown ~ a separate line-item
, revenue) and is based on actual sales tax received in 1998, plus $100,000
- showing
,
moderate growth but not anticipating meeting this year's sales tax receipts.
I
I General fund property tax now includes specific ownenhip tax and motor
vehicle
I
fees (both preViously shown as a separate line-item revenues.) The 1998
voter approved
property tax that repays the general obligation debt has been removed from
this line item
and is shown as a separate line-item revenue in the Debt Service Fund.
,
I Use tax is comprised of the use tax on new construction and the use tax
paid at the time a
!
I Fraser resident purchases a vehicle. The 1999 actual breakout for this
line item includes:
I New construction: $50,342
!
I . Vehicle: $57,194.
I
Reimbuneables now includes the transportation cont.ribution (previously
shown as a
separate line-item revenue). This amount includes:
(~
Transportation .contribution: $30,000
Fraser Sanitation District: $23,750
Elections (Amendment 24): $25,000 (this is offset by a $25,000 expenditure)
Other: $10,000
10/24: Engineering $6,000
Transfen from other funds includes:
Conservation Trust Fund: $42,500 .
Water Fund: $88,668 in administrative
reimbursement [alp

Wages now include the previous salary, unemployment, and FICA line items.
I
:
Increases in wages are in attempt to retain employees. In 2001, we are requesting a new
I
entry-level Planner position, to be hired mid-year. 25% of the Finance Manager's wages
are reimbursed by the Water Fund. 10/24: funds have been addedfor the new admin asst
,
position.
~
Supplies now include the previous printing, software, and building maintenance
i
supplies line items and we are proposing the following unusual expenses for 2001:
I
Lateral fireproof filing cabinet: $1,000
i
Hardware: $6,000
,
I
GIS software extension: $2,000.
I
I
While there are now municipal elections scheduled in 2001, we have budgeted for an
i
election in the event proposed "Amendment 24" passes. Due to the requirements of
I
I
Amendment 24, this could be an expensive election. I am also proposing that any
;
expenses to expand Fraser's "committed area" be borne by the appropriate landowner.
Thus,
this expense is offset by a "reimburseable" revenue.
I
Other professional senrites include the previous janitor line item. In 2001, we are
!
proposing outside assistance for an updated comprehensive plan, amendments to the
Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Code, along with a Town Hall building master plan.
t
I
~
I
Professional Memberships includes the previous CML, CAST, and NWCOG line-item ,
,
I
expenditures, and now aIso includes dues for organizations such as ICMA, AP A, etc.
I
Insurance includes coverage for the entire Town, and is offset by a transfer from the
Water Fund to the General Fund.
I
Capital expenditures proposed in 2001 include a new and expensive accounting software
and Town Hall remodeling ($13,500), whichwill include a new office suite and
improvements to the building entry. The accounting software willbe partially paid by
the water fund and the Fraser Sanitation District ($10,000 each and shown as revenues).
All previous line items (furniture, hardware, and Town Hall improvements) that were
considered capital expenditures have been folded into this budget section.
LeaselPurchase includes the old library building ($9,297) and the first payment for the
Church of the Eternal Hills ($28,000) and its entire pro.perty. (The church payment is
based on early talks with Paul Bretz, Pastor of the Church, and I will pursue and
recommend a 10 year agreement. This expenditure is based, of course, on your decision
i
of whether or not to move fo'rward with this purchase.) Vehicles purchased under
, .
i
lease/purchase agreements have been moved to the CERF.

Public Works
! Wages includes the previous salary, unemployment. and FICA line items. In 2001, n
. - .~
I staff is requesting an additional full-time employee. 25% of all Public Works wages are
i
I reimbursed by the Water Fund. .
I
I Supplies include the previous street maintenance and misceUaneousstreet
I improvements line items.
:
I
I
I
I MisceUaneous expenses include the previous Clean-up days line item.
I
I Professional Services includes the previous Contract Plowing and Grounds
I Maintenance line items. .In 2001. funds to hire a snow shoveling contractor have been
I . included here - previously an expenditure funded under salaries. Additionally. we are
:
i requesting funds. around $3.500. to work on a master gardening streetscape plan" under
: this line item, as well as $5,000 to begin the design of the new Publi~ Works facility.
I
,
! With luck, we will receive a $150.000 Great Outdoor Colorado grant this year (or. ifwe
I don't, then hopefully in the spring of2001) that is part ofa $323.000 capital project and"
, purchase to improve the Old Schoolhouse Park and create a "New Schoolhouse" park at
I
\
l the elementary school. As the fiscal agent for the grant. all funs start and end with us.
I Fraser's cash outlay for this project comes from a $42.500 transfer from the Conservation
I
I
I Trust Fund. All other cash for this project is shown as "grant" revenue. In addition,
I n
I $10,000 is requested for bus shelters (capital projects) that we'd like to build in a
r partnership with Middle Park High School.
In 2001. we will finally complete the street improvement project: only Elk Creek Drive.
Doc Susie. and east Fraser and Eastom Avenues remain, for which I am estimating
$250,000. Additionally. we are proposing adding approximately 10 "cross-pans" at
various places throughout Town to act as inverted. speed bumps. While the temporary
speed bumps worked okay in some places (where we can use them again), they do not
work well in other places where there are curves or are hit at higher speeds. Finally, we
are proposing $80,000 to construct a "fill retaining wall" at the south end of the Safeway
second access road. I have not budgeted to pave this road next year.

is currently looking at lease/purchase options for obtaining a new loader \ '

I Under Equipment
Expenses, we are proposing to trade an existing pick-up truck for an . .
improved
"work truck" ($20,000) and are recommending a staff car, along the lines of a
Subaru Forester
($25,000). Finally, we would like to purchase a new backhoe. In 2002,
statTwill
propose tha~ the Water Fund reimburse the General Fund an additional amount
for tJ1is
backhoe. We have not proposed this reimbursement for next year, as the Water

next year due to several large projects.

I Revenues
I
I I am concerned that our Water Charges do not
cover operating expenses. In the next
I few months, staff will be bringing forth a
proposed water charge rate increase.
I PIF revenues, which includes regular new construction
and the first year of the GCHA
I
I ten-year payment plus the PIF for the 11 market
rate units, should be used only to fund
I Capital ReselVe projects - not to pay for any
operating costs. .
I MisceUaneous Income includes $30,000 from KOELBEL
to offset expenses incurred by
I operating a second water plant with no on-line
users, $15,000 in reimburseable expenses,
I and excavation pennits.

Water Fund Expenses

i
i For the most part, this page is status quo budgeting for the cost of operating
the water -
,
I
: plant, with the exception of an increase in most line item.s - a result
of operating a second
i water treatment plant.
I
I
I
I Administrative Reimbursement is an exception to the above: it is time for
the Water
Fund to begin reimbursing the General Fund for the administrative costs
of operating the
plant. These include such things as computers, phone, building costs, postage,
Property
Casualty and Workers Compensation insurance, etc. You'll note on line 297
that we
have identified a specific dollar amount that the Water Fund will owe the
General Fund.
I This amount is part of the General Fund ''transfers from other funds" revenue
line item.
i
I Fund equity is the "profit" made by the Water Fund operations. This is
transferred to
I
the Capital Reserve Fund from which new water plant infrastl1lcture projects
are funded.
System maintenance (i.e. the Byers Peak Ranch line replacement or a new
backhoe)
should be funded from the operations.accounts, and not the Capital Reserve
Fund.
