The General Manager shall prepare and submit to the Commission a report in support of the <br />scheduled or proposed monthly sewer rates for the next year, including the following <br />information: <br />• key fmancial assumptions such as inflation, <br />• bond interest rates, <br />• investment income, <br />• size and timing of bond issues, <br />• the considerations underlying the projection of future growth in residential customer <br />equivalents, <br />• all key projections, including the annual projection of operating and capital costs, debt <br />service coverage, cash balances, revenue requirements, revenue projections and a <br />discussion of significant factors that impact the degree of uncertainty associated with the <br />projections, and <br />• a discussion of the accuracy of the projections of costs and revenues from previous recent <br />budgets. <br />Policy R6 Costs of existing and future capacity for new customers shall be recovered by <br />SDCs that are based on the cost of existing and required new capacity in conformance with the <br />Commission's SDC methodology. <br />Discussion -The Commission should periodically review the SDCs to ensure that equity is <br />established between newly connected and previously connected users for their total contributions <br />toward the Regional Sewerage Facilities. <br />Policy R7 Costs of services (direct and indirect) provided to any public or private <br />organizations by the RWP shall be recovered through appropriate fees or charges. <br />Discussion -Historically, costs for administering the mobile waste hauler program were <br />recovered through rates set on the basis of state-wide market comparison. In 2004, the <br />Commission changed its policy and chose to escalate mobile waste hauler rates by the same rate <br />as other user rates. <br />2005 MWMC Financial Plan Page 17 <br />
