• • Attached as Exhibit 1 is a listing of the sample items as well as the three numbers mentioned above. The following information was extracted from the sample calculations, (unless otherwise indicated, all numbers are annual). The average sewer bill that was paid last year $ 201.45 The average sewer bill if we continue with the current method into the new year $ 212.82 The percentage increase if we continue with the current method 5.64$ The average sewer bill if we change to the proposed method $ 210.35 The percentage increase if we change to the proposed method 4.42$ As you can see, the sample of 108 of the over 65 accounts will incur an increase under either method. While the above numbers represent averages, I think it is important to show you the actual variances for the items at the extreme ends of the differences. The sample item which will have the largest reduction if we stay with the current plan is sample item number 21. They will have a drop of $96.36 for the year. If we go with the proposed plan, their drop will only be $67.49. The sample item which will have the largest gain if we stay with the current plan is sample item number eight. They will have an increase of $216.36 for the year. If we go with the proposed plan, their increase will only be $108.41. The sample item which will have the largest reduction if we go with the proposed plan is sample item 62. They will have a decrease of $72.64. If we stay with the current plan, their decrease will only be $58.08. The sample item which will have the largest gain if we stay with the current plan is sample item number eight. This account was also the account that had the largest gain under the current plan and is discussed above. If you look at the data in detail, you can see that there is no systematic trend in the increases or decreases. My recommendation to change the method of calculating sewer charges remains the same after reviewing the over 65 information. Its' impact on the over 65 sample of 73 accounts was to provide a 1.228 decrease as shown in the calculations.
