recovering a fair share of the costs of

utility for the cost of construction of available capacity

properties, which as(( a)) part of their development and use
create direct or indirect needs for those facilities. The

~ouncil finds that the public would benefit from a logical
long-range approach to the financing of necessary' ((ccntral))

of such provision casts an unfair and unexpected burden on
taxpayers and residences in the form of LkKi~~taxes,
bond interest costs and assessments when core~~ or
central facilities become inadequate causing a crisis.
Operating from crisis to crisis is wasteful, unsafe and not
( (no longer) ) an acceptable method of D2p~~ local
government; and debt financing should be minimized wherever
possible ( ( .... ..~ -' ~ '
