Murdock, III, Executive Director .of the Water and Sewer <br />Authority of Cabarrus County (WSACC) , introduced the presentation on WSACC's <br />new methodology for Capital Cost Distribution and its Capital Improvement <br />Program (CIP). He stated WSACC tries to be prepared to start construction <br />of planned projects just in time to satisfy the need and not to encourage <br />unnecessary growth. <br /> <br />Jeff Davis, WSACC Engineering Director., presented WSACC's new <br />methodology for distributing càpital costs among its customers. Using a <br />Powerpoint presentation, he explained the new methodology will allow <br />customers to request "reserve capacity. in both the transmission and <br />treatment systems. Their share will be proportional to reserve capacity <br />requested divided by total requested reserve capacity. Further, Mr. Davis <br />discussed the development of WSACC's six-year CIP that includes 11 prC)jects <br />and the 20-year CIP that will serve as a guide for the future. <br /> <br />Michael Wilson, WSACC Finance Director, discussed the financing of $91 <br />million of projects identified in the six-year CIP and steps that were taken <br />by WSACC to address the $1. 7 million in lost revenue from the closing of <br />Pillowtex. He said the WSACC Board had established a five-year recovery <br />period during which there would be an eight percent annual increase in rates. <br />Retained earnings would be used to make up the difference with WSACC <br />operating at a deficit during the recovery period. Current funding sources <br />for the CIP projects include Capital Recovery Fees,. contributions from <br />Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities and State Revolving Fund Loans. It is <br />anticipated that installment financing or revenue bonds will be used after FY <br />2008 to fund the $2~ million in needs that currently have no revenue source. <br />In conclusion, Mr. Wilson stressed that the WSACC Board decides when projects <br />.are built and when additional debt is incurred. <br /> <br />A.~ <br /> <br />6~7 <br /> <br />.1 <br />
