Finally, the city could initiate a citywide franchise fee that <br />charges all customers, including tax exempt properties, an equal <br />amount of the total cost of a maintenance and reconstruction <br />program. In other words, the franchise fee would be the same <br />whether you own a $150,000 home or a $450,000 home. This could <br />amount to about $28 per month for every residential customer and <br />$54 per month for commercial customers. The fee would be payable <br />for the next 20-40 years. <br />15.

For <br />each, please tell me if you find the statement very convincing, <br />somewhat convincing, not too convincing or not at all convincing. <br />18. The road maintenance and recon- <br />struction program will spread out <br />the cost over a long period of <br />time so property owners are not <br />burdened by large annual assess- <br />ments. <br />19. This program more fairly distri- <br />butes the cost of a road mainten- <br />ance program to all property <br />owners, all of whom benefit from <br />well-maintained roads. <br />VRC SMC NTC NAA DKR <br />220 470 90 200 to <br />300 340 140 22% 0% <br />
