5 Current Fee Methodology and Formula

6 Option #1 Options Use Current Fiscal Year Fee Structure Determine Total Number of Units (77) Divide Operations Costs by Number of Units ($471,764 / 77) = 6,126.81 Multiply Each Operator Unit Total by 6,126.81 Two Year Hours by Operator Doesn’t Change Add the Unit Cost to the Hour Cost for Total Annual Fee

7 Option #2 Options Use Current Fiscal Year Fee Structure Determine Total Number of Units (77) Divide Total Fees to the Operator by Number of Units ($999,500 / 77) = 12,982.47 Multiply Each Operator Unit Total by 12,982.47

8 Option #3 Options Use Current Fiscal Year Fee Structure Utilizing the Two Year Total of Hours by Operator Divide Total Fees to the Operator by Number of Hours ($999,500 / 17,886.70) = $55.88 Hour Multiply Each Operator Hours by $55.88
