Board of Supervisors July 14, 2020 Sheet 6 RE: PUBLIC COMMENT ONF PROPOSED INCREASESTO WATER SERVICEFACILITY Mr. Taylor said this presentation is to provide background and context for the proposed slate of facility fee increases starting January 1, 2021 and annually thereafter for the following three years. The water supply project the County is undertaking is responding to a very real need. The existing water system works pretty well in wet years but customer peak demand exceeds the capacity of our water plant. Greene County has problems with providing water when it's not wet. Our existing water system depends upon there being enough water in the Rapidan River every day The County is continuing to grow and our future depends upon, to some degree, the availability ofa sufficient and reliable water supply to serve our needs. Utility infrastructure isi not cheap. Typically, system upkeep and service improvements arej paid for by operating revenue also known as customers regular water bills. For years, Rapidan Service Authority (RSA) has kept their rates very low and thereby failed to raise the money to pay for system maintenance and improvements. RSA approved an increase in rates over a five-year period starting in 2018. The money from those increases should pay for some maintenance and some improvements to the water distribution system but will not pay for the water system infrastructure improvements that The County is working on thei implementation ofthe 50-year water supply plan, as required by the State, which was most recently updated in 2011. Thisi is a major undertaking to serve: future generations. Our intake in the Rapidan River predates regulation. Information about the project can bei found ont the County's website under the Whitel Run Reservoir Water Impoundment Project. The location for the reservoir has been selected and needed land has been purchased. The contract engineer has completed plans for the reservoir and the water treatment plant. We are acquiring necessary easements to get water from the intake at the Rapidan River to the reservoir. Engineering drawings for the raw water pump station, Vista Heights Road, reservoir, dam and Building a dam and flooding White Run to create our reservoir will destroy existing wetland areas along White Run. In order to proceed, Greene County has been required to buy mitigation credits to offset the environmental impact of the project. The County has spent $8,236,722.77 in FY 2020 on environmental mitigation toi meet state and federal mandates for this Water availability feei revenue to-date for FY 2020 is $80,000. Facility fee revenue to-date forl FY2 2020is $960,523.95. The project'se estimated cost remainsi in thei range ofs45-S60million. The Stantec Financial Plan was presented to the Board and community back in 2017. The facility fee is needed to pay the cost involved in building the water supply improvements that will ensure that water service can continue for existing customers, even in dry years, and water service can be provided for new customers coming to Greene County as part of our future growth. Davenport, the County's financial consultant, has reviewed the recommendations by Stantec and advised that the financial plan remains valid and useful. Stantec made three recommendations: implementation of a facility fee; increases to the facility fee, including significant increases to get to the $30 level; and gradual increases to the facility feei thereafter. We are at the point of recommendation #3, gradual increases to the facility fee. RSA approved the facility fee in December, 2014 and an increase from $10 to $20 in July, 2018.

RSA has been asked to reduce their service fee to a flat $1 per bill SO the facility fee can be kept Water project improvements will be paid for, in part, by real estate property tax ($0.077 per $100 assessed value); monthly facility fees; and one-time impact fees ($10,000 per EDU for water and $10,000 per EDU for sewer). Gradual facility fee increases arei necessary per the Stantec Financial Plan to fund the future debt service required to make the project a reality. as low as possible. Updated revenue source funding for the project includes: Property tax revenue: 7.5 cents on CY 2020 Real Estate Tax Monthly Facility Fee revenue for FY 2020 One-time Impact ("Availability") Fee revenue FY 2020 $1,573,522.50 $ 960,523.95 $ 80,000.00 $2,614,046.45 Ini response to a question by Mr. Herring, Mr. Taylor said there are approximately 2,900 water customers being billed. RSA is collecting an administrative fee of $3.00 per account but recently suspended the collection ofthat amount due to COVID-19. Thej public hearing was opened for comments. Mr. Frydl read an email received from Ms. Monica Cabarcas questioning the steepi increase in! billing and noting the facility fee exceeds the cost ofactual water consumption. (See Attachment Mr. Lamb said water is the number one issue in the future for all communities. He Mr. Bowman said Greene County needs a stable, dependable, and reliable water supply for residents. The plan needs to be fulfilled and while infrastructure is not cheap, when water is Mr. Herring said he is a user of the water system and shares the pain others feel with the facility feel being more than the cost for water usage. Wehavel been in situations ini the past where Mrs. Durrer said she too feels the pain but we. have got this far and we need to continue. Mr. Martin has a private well and, like other citizens in the western part of the County, pays the 7.5 cents for public water. He doesn't hear folks complaining about that.

RE: GUN RANGE REGULATIONS-SPECIAL USE PERMIT REGULATIONS Mr. Frydl said itis known that a private group is working with the Sheriff to seek a site for ag gun range. Tonight's presentation is about the Special Use Permit process. Concert venues, resort recreation areas and shooting ranges are all examples of uses that require parcel specific review. Very specific criteria are used when considering if a site would be appropriate for a specified use. The Board of Supervisors also has the ability to place conditions or limitations on Mrs. Durrer asked ifas sound study, architectural engineering plan, water run offs study, lead management plan, and range rules/range officer would be required along with a 100% guarantee that no bullet would escape the range prior to presentation to the Planning Commission and Board ofSupervisors for consideration. Mr. Frydl said staff and legal counsel would review any request specifically looking at the appropriateness oft the site and impacts that could be negated. Some of those things are more operational in nature. Staff does look for proofofsafe operation and would depend on the applicant to have a plan to mitigate potential environmental, safety, traffic, sound, etc. impacts. Itis the responsibility of the applicant, as the business owner, to provide proof. those uses. RE: LIAISON REPORTS Mr. Martin said there is a meeting ofthe RSA Board on July 161 in Madison County.

Mr. Martin will share this email with RSA at their upcoming meeting. Mr. Martin received a phone call from a resident on Reservoir Drive and an email from an address on Main Street in Stanardsville raising similar issues. The Reservoir Drive resident also said they eventually received a "robocall" from RSA after leaving repeated messages but was not able to speak to anyone personally.

However, Ifind myself questioning the steep increase in billing. It has come toi the point where fees nowe exceed the cost of actual water consumption. Last month my water charges were $24.17 andlv was charged $30i in facility fees. An additional $3 administrative fee was waived on this particular statement due to COVID19. If we proceed with the proposed increase to $39 for the water facility fee by 2024 and reduced RSA administrative fee of $1, can the board mandate a cap on all increases for a 30y year period? Since no elected board member will be present when thei final proposed increase takes place in 2024 (unless re-elected), what long term protections can the board offer to protect county residents from question about the proposed water facility increases. unreasonable increases beyond 2024?
