Economic Development Commission Minutes <br /> May 17, 2011 <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br /> felt it was important to get information about WAC and SAC fees and a WAC and <br /> SAC policy prior to implementing the incentives for small businesses. <br /> Discussion was held about the current method of charging for WAC and SAC fees. <br /> The EDC questioned why the City does not charge based on a residential equivalency <br /> unit. They felt this would be a fairer way than the current method of charging a lump <br /> sum, which is the same cost for a residential user and a commercial user.
