Project B – This part of the overall project area does not qualify for the CDBG project funding (50% or $500, max) Project A + Project B – The combined project area does qualify for the CDBG project funding (50% or $500,000.00).

5/29/0210 VI. Tentative CDBG Project Funding (continued) Project A Project Cost to Property Owners Total Project Cost (less service connection cost) = $410, Less the 50 % CDBG Funding -$205, Debt Service Balance $205, Therefore the tentative Principal amount to be charged to property owners through additional monthly sewer billing collections = $205, ÷ 30 property owners = $6, per property owner. Note: The replacement of an on-lot private system could cost anywhere from $7, to $10, per property owner. Monthly Debt Retirement: $6, (30 years at 3.95%) = $32.43 per month $6, (30 years at 2.0%) = $26.63 per month

Tentative CDBG Project Funding (continued) Project B Project Cost to Property Owners Total Project Cost (less service connection cost) = $716, Less the 50 % CDBG Funding -$ 0.00 Debt Service Balance $716, Therefore the tentative Principal amount to be charged to property owners through additional monthly sewer billing collections = $716, ÷ 57 property owners = $12, per property owner. Note: The replacement of an on-lot private system could cost anywhere from $7, to $10, per property owner.

5/29/0212 VI. Tentative CDBG Project Funding (continued) Combination of Project A and Project B Project Cost Property Owners Total Project Cost (less service connection cost) = $1,127, Less the 50 % or $500, Max CDBG Funding -$ 500, Debt Service Balance $ 627, Therefore the Principal amount to be charged to property owners through additional monthly sewer billing collections = $627, ÷ 87 property owners = $7, per property owner. In Summary: Project A does not need Project B, but Project B needs Project A! Note: The replacement of an on-lot private system could cost anywhere from $7, to $10, per property owner.
