Sample Ballot:

(Wording has become disconnected-needs to be resolved)

While this ballot is not a contractual commitment to have natural gas installed in The project WILL NOT proceed unless at least 50% of the homes involved (259) commit to participate. This will establish the MAXIMUM COST PER HOME TO BE $4,700. As more homes above the 259 minimum commit, the price per home will be reduced proportionately. For homes that do not choose to participate at this time, but decide to do so at a future date, there will be a required “connection fee” payable to SWCA that is 125% of what the initial residents pay to participate in 2019. These fees will be distributed equally back to all residents in the 14 participating neighborhoods who have gas connected to their homes. This will be done annually through a credit to their annual SWCA Assessment billing. * Name: ______________________________________________________________________ * Address:______________________________________________________________________ Neighborhood __________________________________________________________________ * Name and Address are required for ellibibility verification and future follow-up and the cost of any gas plumbing required inside your home is your own separate responsibility. YES--I will commit to proceed with the installation

f natural gas in my home--UP TO A MAXIMUM OF $4,700.

NO--I do not want to have natural gas installed in my home.

NATURAL GAS INSTALLATION COMMITMENT BALLOT

should consider your vote to be a commitment to install the natural gas service once the project is approved. Your participation, along with all the others who commit to proceed, will establish the up front cost for the TECO construction and initial hook up. Your cost for new appliance(s), or the cost of converting existing propane appliance(s), your home, it will be used to determine if there is sufficient interest on the part

f the residents of Shadow Wood, in the 14 affected neighborhoods, to proceed to

make final arrangements with TECO to proceed with the project. Therefore, you

What Do Homeowners Need To Do?

 Pay their 50% construction deposit  Plan for their construction and installation

 Decide where to locate new gas meter  Contact gas plumber for hook up of new appliances  Purchase appliances

 Establish their TECO customer account (after meter is installed)  Consider appointing a “Neighborhood Captain” to monitor and coordinate

project activities

 Help collect construction deposit  Coordinate any neighborhood “volume discounts” with gas plumbers  Monitor on-going construction activities  Handle any on-going communications to homeowners (i.e., status reports)  Monitor restoration work

There is still a lot of work to do

 Negotiate the development contract with TECO  Pass the SWCA By-Law Amendment that establishes the “Connection Fee” concept and

procedures

 Collect the 50% up-front deposit from all participating homeowners  Execute the construction and restoration program
