Staff confirmed the formula was intended to be flexible
(increased or decreased) depending upon the Cash Flow

franchise fee being paid by only those electric customers
located inside Town limits, and the potential of other items
(facilities, services, and the like) to decline based upon
said formula. It was moved and seconded (Aldrich/Dekker)
the Formula -Based General Fund Budget Transfer and 3%
Franchise Fee be approved, and it passed unanimously, with
Trustee Barker reserving the right to further discuss the
transfer formula and franchise fee should the need arise.
