> Subject: some funding options
>
> Hi all,
> Attached is an Excel spreadsheet that shows 4 different ways of raising
> the money necessary to meet the DEP's offer of assistance if we all work
> together, David Ladd estimates that we need to raise $90,000 (I increased
> the amount to $100,000 for estimating) to pay for radio and TV time and
> newspaper ad space and that this will cover most of years 1 & 4 of our
> public education and outreach requirements.
>
> As you can see in the spreadsheet, I've included the 8 non-traditional
> MS4's. The following scenarios are offered.
> 1. Divide the $100,000 by 36 (28 MS4 communities and 8
> non-traditionals).
>
> 2. The non-traditionals pay 20% of the bill ($80,000), the balance is
> divided by population.
>
> 3. A flat rate fee of $1,000 is paid by each MS4 and non-traditional,
> with a certain percentage of the balance paid by each MS4 and
> non-traditional. The largest share is Portland's, followed by MTA, MDOT,
> Bangor, Lewiston, Auburn, and So Portland.
>
> 4. The last option is the same as option 3, except the flat rate fee is
> $500 instead of $1,000.
>
> It's a place to start, and, in my opinion, is much less expensive and far
> more effective than going it alone.
>
> For PACTS communities, we can use some of our newly appropriated money
> from PACTS for this project.
