Public Utility District
Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: November 6, 2001
Subject: Appeal of Mark Steiner
Attached is correspondence from Mr. Mark Steiner in which he appeals the District policy
that fees paid are good for one year. Our water facilities and connection fees were
increased in May 2001. In order to pay the lower fees, the fees in effect prior to the
increase, Mr. Steiner paid his fees on May 5, 2001. Attached is a copy of our policy that
says if a developer pays fees he must have received permanent connection within one
year or be subject to payment of increased connection fees.
Mr. Steiner paid $27,000 in water connection fees, which was the amount due under the
old rate (sixty units times the old fee of$450 per unit). On May 6, 2002, Mr. Steiner
would be asked to pay to the District an additional $32,400 in water connection fees; our
water connection fee increased to $990 per unit (60 units times $990 less the $27,000
already paid equals $32,000)
The question before you is (1)whether to waive District policy or(2) apply the
District policy If you waive the policy Mr. Steiner will save $32,000. If your retain the
policy he will end up paying an additional $32,000 after May 6, 2002.
