As the issuer of the bonds that will finance the project to be funded with Grant funds, DASNY must verify that it is in compliance with all applicable Federal and State laws and regulations. Accordingly, please review the attached Grantee Certification (at the end of this letter)to ensure it accurately states the purposes for which the Grant funds will be used. Please arrange for two Authorized Officers of your organization to sign the Grantee Certification. Project Certification • As the issuer of the bonds that will finance the project to be funded with Grant funds, DASNY must verify that it is in compliance with all applicable Federal and State laws and regulations. This includes verifying that Grant funds will not be used for a project that was previously funded with Grant proceeds, administered by DASNY, for substantially the same project at the same location as described in a Preliminary Application or Project Information Sheet DASNY processed within the last six (6) years. Accordingly, please review the attached Project Certification (at the end of this letter) and arrange for an Authorized Officer of your organization to sign the Project Certification. W-9 Form • This form is utilized to set up the Grantee as a vendor in the DASNY's financial system. The Grantee's Federal Employer Identification Number(FEIN) or Taxpay Identification Number (TIN) is required to make payment. Please be sure that the FEIN number and Legal Organization name (as well as any d/b/a) is accurately reflected on the W-9. The Legal Organization name and FEIN should match the Legal Organization name and FEIN that the Internal Revenue Service has on file for the Grantee which should also correspond with the Grantee's Incorporation Papers. Grantee Questionnaire (GQ) (to be sent under separate cover via DocuSign) • As the trustee of public funds, DASNY needs to be certain that bond proceeds are paid only to organizations that are deemed to be responsible entities. Full and accurate responses on the GQ will help to achieve this goal. The GQ must be completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Grantee as well as the Chair of the Board (or other Authorized Officer) before DASNY can process the grant. Please be advised that the GQ will be incorporated into the Grant Disbursement Agreement (the contract between DASNY and the Grantee) and that the submission of false information on the GO could be a violation of Federal and State Penal Laws. Evidence of Site Control • Site control is required to evidence that the Grantee has sufficient authorization and control to undertake the project at the project location. In order to verify the Grantee owns, leases, or otherwise has control over the site where the project will be located, please provide a copy of the Page 8 of 18 rn_ NEW YORK DASNY STATE OF OPPORTUNITY Page 3 deed, lease, or other document evidencing site control by the Grantee. In the case of a vehicle purchase, title and registration will be needed at the time that requisitions for Grant funds are submitted. DASNY will also need to know the location for where the vehicle will be kept. Financial Documentation • Please send a copy of quotes, proposals, cost estimates or any other document that will justify the overall project value. As part of DASNY's financial review of the project, we must receive an estimate setting forth the projects costs necessary to complete the project. If the cost estimate is higher than the value of the grant, DASNY will need to see evidence of the other source(s) of funding for the project. Please see the attached checklist as a reference for what is needed for the financial review. State Environmental Quality Review Act/ State Historic Preservation Act Compliance • Grantees are advised that grant-funded projects are subject to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and State Historic Preservation Act (SHPA). • If the Grantee is a municipality or State agency, you will be asked to submit a copy of your SEQRA determination. If the SEQRA review has not yet begun, you will be asked to establish Lead Agency for the review and include DASNY as an involved agency, and the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation's (OPRHP's) State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) as an interested party. • Coordination with OPRHP/SHPO is required if the project building or site is eligible for, or listed on, the State and National Register's of Historic Places; if the building or site is considered a contributing element to a defined historic district; or is located in an area of archaeological sensitivity. You can find this information on the SHPO and NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) websites: (https://parks.ny.gov/shpo/online-tools/SHPO and http://www.dec.ny.pov/eafmapper/). Please provide DASNY with a copy of the determination letter from OPRHP/SHPO once the consultation has been completed. • If the Grantee is not a municipality or State agency, but your project would require a discretionary permit (such as site plan review) from a municipality or State agency, please request that the SEQRA Lead Agency add DASNY as an involved agency and SHPO as intrested party. If you have any questions about SEQRA, the Grants Administration staff can refer you to a DASNY Environmental Manager who can assist you with the process. For your convenience, we have enclosed a form cover letter for you to use when you return the completed documents to DASNY. Incomplete documents will delay the processing of your Grant application.

However, the sewer rent may only be adjusted after the Town Board holds a public hearing. The staff recommendation is that the sewer rent rate for 2021 be raised $.0002/per gallon to a rate of$.0016 per gallon. The calculation is as follows: Three year average of water use in the Town 434,133,333 gallons' Deduct the water use of those having septic systems and not connected to sewers 8,700,000 gallons 425,433,333 gallons 90% allowance for water not entering the sewer system 42,543,333 gallons Water use for calculation of sewer rent rate 382,890,000 gallons Amount of revenue to be raised $622,2802 Calculation of Sewer Rent Rate $622,280/382,890,000 = $.0016/gallon Increase from 2020 rate $.0002 Impact for an Average Water User Average Water Use 103,400 gallons/year 90% Allowance for water not entering the Sewer System 93,060 gallons/year Average Sewer Rent Rate $148.90 Increase over 2020 $22.90 'Water use data provided by the Westchester Joint Water Works 2 Net Town Sewer District Budget for 2021 • PFiiit d nn Recycled Paper The rate increase proposed for 2021 is based upon several factors: O Average Water use rose from 99,975 to 103,400 gallons per year. O The Sewer District Budget increased by $62,958. The main drivers of the increase included: o $30,000 debt payment increase for mandated sewer rehabilitation o $30,000 budget appropriation for mandated confined space equipment Using a sewer rent fee to fund the Sewer District continues to be preferable for both the Town and its residents. Had the Town levied a property tax in the Sewer District in 2021the tax on an average property valued at $1.257million would be $189.30 compared to the proposed Sewer Rent of$148.90 for an average water user. In addition, property owners have the ability control the sewer rent expenditure by regulating their water use. The recommendation is to set the public hearing for Wednesday, December 2, 2020. At the hearing, a power point presentation will be made to explain the process and discuss the adjustment that is proposed. f' Stephen V. Altieri Town Administrator
