TAC Presentation

Funding New Growth/Balance with Existing Customers

Thursday, February 17, 2022

 
Luncheon description:

Funding water, sewer, and stormwater utility infrastructure to serve growth while striking a balance with existing customers can be a challenge for communities of all sizes. This session will provide an overview and discussion of near-term and longer-term considerations of traditional and emerging funding sources with a focus on funding capital infrastructure.

Items to be explored include one-time external sources repaid by future revenues, recurring user charge, surcharges, impact fees, taxes, and/or other assessments. An overview of existing and future debt and grant funding options will also be provided.  

 
Speakers 

Josh McGibbon, P.E., is a Principal Engineer and Vice President at JVA, Inc. Josh has over 20 years’ experience delivering water and wastewater infrastructure projects to small and medium sized municipalities, special districts, and private clients through Colorado. 

Andrew Rheem is a Senior Manager at Raftelis and has over 18 years’ experience completing utility financial planning, rate, impact fee, and other related studies for communities throughout Colorado.  

 
Luncheon Format:

In light of continuing COVID restrictions on gatherings, this luncheon will again be conducted online. Instructions on how to register are provided  in the next paragraph. The presentation will begin at 12 noon on the above date (Mountain Standard Time). The presentation will be broadcast using Microsoft Teams.

Registration:

TAC Registration: A registration fee of $10 is being requested for each attendee. This is reduced from our typical charges in the past to reflect the online nature of the event. Registration and payment for TAC luncheons is handled online at: TAC Registration. Registration may be made for a single attendee or for multiple attendees in a group. It is requested that each individual in a group either register individually or are included in the count for a group registration, and that multiple parties are not partaking in the presentation without registering. If for some reason you are unable to register online, please contact Steve Polson (either by phone: 303-748-0931; or by email: steve.polson@jacobs.com) to arrange for paying with check or cash. 

The registration deadline for this event is Wednesday, January 19, at 3:00 pm MST. We will send out the link for the luncheon to the email addresses per the registration site by the end of the day on Wednesday or first thing Thursday morning. Please note the Teams program does not need to be installed on your computer to participate. When you click the link provided in the email, an option to participate through your browser is offered. There will also be a call-in number, but it is hoped that nobody is forced to do that, as you will only receive the audio. If you registered but do not receive the email on Wednesday, please call Steve Polson (303-748-0931) on Thursday morning to determine how to get you the link.

Please note that the online approach will only be used as long as we are not allowed to meet in person. We look forward to the time when we can return to our normal format with lunch and opportunities for folks to socialize before and after the presentation.
