fun d.
Thomas Brightbill, Senior Engineer for Rates & Fees, in consultation with Finance staff,
provided the following information on the expenditure.
This check is a pass-through. The installer of the sewer main, Mr. Curtis, paid for the
construction of the sewer line. As allowed by District Code, he requested that a
reimbursement account be set up so that he would be reimbursed by property owners
who subsequently connect to the sewer main he installed.
David Rolley, Accounting Technician III, confirmed that both the payment received from
the property owner who connected to the sewer and the reimbursement made to the
installer were passed through the Running Expense Fund as has historically been the
practice.
The other expenses (besides reimbursement fees) associated with both the original
sewer construction project - plan review, construction inspection,-etc. - and the
connection of the new parcel to the sewer are all charged to Running Expense. The
value of the sewer is added to Contributed Assets. A list of completed projects
(including main line extensions) that provide contributed assets is provided to
Finance at the end of each fiscal year and is recorded as part of the annual audit.
