INFORMATIONAL 2. PUBLIC COMMENTS Residents: None Non-Residents: Mr. Matt Haag questioned the increase of the Debt Service Fee. Mr. Urey explained the reason for the increase was two fold, the original calculation was based off of an incorrect EDU count and then there was a discrepancy between how the fee was being billed (customer count versus EDU count) by the Greenville Water Authority. Both of those issues have been corrected and this increased rate is what should have been billed from the beginning. It was clarified that this increase will only cover the debt service moving forward and does not include past collections being to low to cover the debt service owed; that was covered by the Capital Outlay line item in the Sanitary Fund. Mr. Haag questioned when the debt service would be retired, would that be now since the PUC approved the sale or would it be once the appeal window has expired. Mr. Urey stated that the debt service will not be retired until the closing. Mr. Haag then requested that Mr. Urey provide him with a copy of the ammertization table for the debt service. 3.
