Board asks for clearer footnotes and assumptions in bill worksheet; 30-year/5% loan cited
Summary
Members asked staff to annotate the bill worksheet with data sources and assumptions — including a 30-year loan at 5% and property tax assumptions — so the public and board can see whether calculations assume grants or full-load financing.
Committee member asked staff to include footnotes showing the data sources and assumptions behind bill worksheet numbers, noting that a worksheet that assumes "no grants" should be explicit. "Like, I had a note from the data on the data points, 30 year loan, 5% annual property task," the committee member said, asking that those origins be visible in the packet.
Staff member responded that the worksheet already contains much of the data but agreed to add clearer footnotes and a separate sheet describing what is and is not included (capital versus O&M, whether grants are assumed) before printing the agenda for distribution.
