<br />SOLlD WASTE WORK GROUP SWCC RECONIlVIENDATJONS
<br />MOVING FORWARD--THE ENTERPRISE FUND AND A HOUSEHOLD FEE
<br />!n arriving at its final recommendation, the Work Group considered different funding
<br />approaches and has recommended reliance on an annual household fee, tied, if possible, to the
<br />current 3-R Fee billing structure (aka a "4-R" fee) that would cover SWCC operation and capital
<br />requirements for upgrades integrated into the current Enterprise Fund approach,
<br />The recommendation includes moving towards complete independence from the General Fund
<br />(G F) -either immediately (as shown in Table 4 below) or over amulti-year transition period
<br />(shown in Table 6 below). Notes on each of the sine items in these two tables are provided
<br />below as well. The primary difference between the two is the amount of funding sourced from
<br />the recommended per household fee.
<br />Table 4 shows the 7-Year Enterprise Fund forecast for the SWCC system with no General Fund
<br />contribution at all -starting in year 1. The bottom line shows the potential drop in General
<br />Fund support achieved for each year, with current year GF support as the baseline, and then
<br />the GF support drop shown cumulatively over the 7-year period.

<br />Table 5 shows the 7-Year Enterprise Fund household fee required for the SWCC system when
<br />there is no Genera! Fund contribution at all - starting in year 1. Two types of fee estimates are
<br />shown - a flat fee as well as a tiered fee. The fiat fee shows the Household SWCC revenue
<br />requirement from Table 4 allocated equally to all 54,].50 residential parcels. The fee increases
<br />in three steps as the required funding increases over the 7-year period. The tiered fee shows
<br />the same revenue requirement allocated proportionally among rural single-family dwellings,
<br />urban single family and multi-family parcels according to an estimated intensity of SWCC use.
<br />Again with step increases each two-year period as the General Fund contribution is eliminated.
