. . Pagosa Area Water & Sanitation District January 14, 2007 (UPDATED January 28, 2008) Page 5 of 6 Agenda llem ] I a debt service payments on all outstanding obligations. The District's Water Activity Enterprise has several outstanding long-term debts totaling approximately $10 million. The District will repay the loan from funds available through a collection of a Water Resource Fee, a component of the District's Capital Investment Fee from each new water customer. If that funding source is not adequate, the District will increase water service rates to provide funds sufficient to meet the CWCB loan debt service. A cash flow analysis provided in the Loan Feasibility Study integrates the debt service for this CWCB Loan into the overall financial planning through 2020 and indicates sufficient coverage for the CWCB loan as well as other capital needs of the District. The SJWCD will participate financially with the District to contribute a substantial portion of the 10% match required for obtaining this CWCB Loan. SJWCD will donate the $1 million grant from the CWCB Water Reserve Account Fund for the purchase of the Weber property. In addition, the SJWCD may provide other funds toward development of the Project such as: a) $37,750 grant from the Southwestern Water Conservation District; b) a SJWCD reserve account of $300,000 for study costs; c) impact fees collected on behalf ofSJWCD by the Town ofPagosa Springs through an Intergovernmental Agreement (est. yield from $190,000 to $285,000 per year based on growth); d) possible increase to the current SJWCD mill levy for funding of the Reservoir Project (a ballot question is being considered).
