Norris Director –Public Works Table A depicts the originally proposed one-time retroactive CPI adjustment to the current monthly sanitation commercial impact fees, bringing fees closer to present-day cost realities and incorporating annual inflation indexing going forward. Table B presents a two-year phased-in option that reduces the immediate financial impact of the proposed fee increases by distributing the adjustment over two fiscal years. Because the fee structure is based on equivalent commercial units (ECUs), properties with higher ECU counts would experience larger total increases, and a phased approach helps moderate the initial impact. This option also provides the Commission with flexibility to consider policy alternatives, such as exemptions or different treatment for properties above or below certain threshold. Table C summarizes the estimated revenue impacts associated with the proposed adjustments to the sanitation commercial impact fees. It compares the originally proposed revenue under a full catch-up scenario to a modified approach that excludes a catch-up for properties with 0-25 units and phases in increases for properties with 26 units and above over two fiscal years. An estimated CPI increase of 3% was applied to the 0 - 25 unit fee. As shown, this approach results in a reduction in projected revenues, since a significant number of the properties fall into this category. QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION AQ
