Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: The Ohio EPA requires this legislation which authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to apply for and execute up to sixty-five (65) Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) loan agreements in 2020, totaling approximately $814 million, for the construction of sixty-five Sanitary, Stormwater, and Treatment Engineering Capital Improvement Projects as identified in Section 1., under the direction of the Division of Sewerage and Drainage (DOSD). This loan program is jointly administered by the Ohio EPA's Division of Environmental and Financial Assistance, and the Ohio Water Development Authority (OWDA). The WPCLF Loan Fund program provides below-market interest rate loans for municipal Wastewater and Stormwater system improvements.
2. FISCAL IMPACT: There is sufficient budget authority in the 2020 Sewer Systems and Stormwater Operating Funds for the loan application fee expenditures. These loans will be paid off over a 20-year period from Sewerage system and Stormwater rates (dedicated source of repayment). Sewerage system and Stormwater rate increases have been projected and planned in anticipation of these projects and loans.
