To determine the city share, we took the total population equivalent (P.E.) served and divided it into the total estimated trunk charge to derive a cost per P.E. For the west trunk system the cost per P.E. was $64.48 and for the north trunk system the cost was $109.26. The average cost per P.E. in the city is $86.20. Generally most communities use an average trunk charge throughout the city. Following is a summary of costs for the 5 year C.I.P. showing the city share based on an average P.E. cost: SUMMARY OF TRUNK COSTS Year Trunk Cost P.E. Served Cost Assessed City Share 1982 C-R $ 725,000 16,033 ]$ 1,382,040 + $ 657,040 1983 b-c, a-b & a-u $1,175,000 10,363 $ 937,955 - $ 237,045 1984 d-x $2,100,000 17,767 $ 1,761,240 - $ 338,760 1985 d-e $ 776,000 6,037 $ 650,490 - $ 125,510 1985 u-v $ 266,400 7,639 $ 823,100 + $ 556,680 The above city shares are based on the fact that everyone eventually to be served by the proposed trunk would be assessed. However, laterals to some of these outlying areas may not be constructed for 10 years and some areas may be on green acres. Prior to adopting the C.I.P. and a policy on financing trunk sewers the city should review in detail the alternatives available. Following is a partial list of financing alternatives. 1.
