Why doesn the Board increase the District fee so that it can pay for the entire project?
The District Board has tried to find a balance that allows the fee to be as competitive as possible. The current fee provides adequate funding for day to day operations, to address EPA unfunded mandates, and allows the District to participate in a limited number of projects through the year. In an effort to keep the fee competitive, the District will be asking those property owners benefiting by the individual projects to contribute funds toward the project.
