Mr. Ware indicated the City of Huntleigh would need to pass an ordinance that would stipulate that each household within the City of Huntleigh would be assessed a fee se~by t4e City which could be anywhere within the range of $25 to $50 per household annually. He explained that this program is an accrual program based on funds received from the City. Due to the fact that this is an accrual program, should a resident make a claim, it would deplete, if not use all funds making the next claim unable to be paid until more accrual funds are received. Mr. Ward stated, j n his opinion, the City of Huntleigh being a small municipality, would not generate enough funds on an accrual basis to make it worthwhile for the City to participate, and would not be fair to all residents who may not be able to benefit from the program when needed.
