want to present some inf9rmation to you in support of considering ,a :dee: ba,041 f9r .Sanitation
services in lieu of including those ,services in our ad valorem reve
First the reasons — We nowbave all of our services to residents included in the ad valorep
taxes
and none in fees. lVlost Of our neighboring communities use fees`f6r certain services ari as a
result have much lower millage i*n many cases. This puts NPB at a competitive disadvantage vis

however, while our millagd is, 7.50, the increases in homestead exemptions under'A*00ment
I will force us to increase m"ill'age to 7.8 or 7.9. There is a statutory limit of 10.00 xriilts`and this
is getting too close. Additionally if the legislature, at some point, should pass legislation to
prevent moving from mill6ge to fees we could have
Second the analysis — Attached is a analysis of our sanitationcosts and the effect of a fee on

of $181 per year or $15 per month. This treats all residences the same — single family and multi-
family. The annual costs in several other municipalities,ond the,county,are from$169jo $317.
If we exclude one outlier the costs range frorfi $169'246.'Ou"r mill-lage would reduce from today
7.500 to 6.85
Lastly a fee basis aligns the cost to the homeowner with the cost of providing service-, J believe
we need to begin to move on this soon. I understand ii will require about btie-dear to
implement
the change.
