Mr. Svendsen noted that there is also a $40 charge for the water meter itself and an additional $4 for an inspection fee. He didn't understand those fees. Director Pinto explained that the $40 is a refundable deposit to guarantee payment of the water bills. Mr. Svendsen asked what they are paying for to begin with, and Chairman Eggert explained that the assessment is for the water lines in the street and the water lines to the meter box. Director Pinto explained that the whole idea is that we will recover 100% of the cost of that project from the customers that use it. No more, no less.

Then it is $1.99 per thousand gallons based on water consumption. Mr. Hannon understood that his final assessment will not be more than the estimated $2947, and Director Pinto emphasized that it cannot be any more than that, but it may be less. We will know the final assessments when construction of the project is completed and the costs are divided up for each assessment. He stressed that the final assessment cannot be more than the preliminary assessment, and at this point, they expect the final assessments to be lower. Mr. Hannon understood that if he wanted to hook up, it would be necessary to pay the impact fee, the meter installation, and the deposit, and Director Pinto confirmed those charges. A payment plan is available only for the assessment and the impact fees. Harvey Dangel, 9355 Frangipani Drive, a 20 -year resident, didn't fully understand the impact fees, and Commissioner Scurlock 33 BOOK � � .G`r. i�� ASR X990
