follows` 1 , of the current road construction costs shall be multiplied by a fraction, the
y ,
denominator of which shall be 20, and the numerator of the number of ears remaining
0
to year 20. Thus, if the road cost was $200 and the recovery by the city is made in Y ear
5, 1 /2 of the cost is $100 times 15/20ths which would result in the post office being
reimbursed $75.
After year 20, if the City constructs a road overlay, the presumptive life of that is 10
years. Any recovery after construction of an overlay shall be based on a formula of !2 of
the cost of the overlay times a fraction, the denominator of which is 10 and the
numerator of which is the number of years remaining on the presumptive life of the
overlay. The result of that formula shall equal the amount to be reimbursed to USPS.
After a period of 20 years has elapsed and there is no overlay constructed, no
reimbursement wilt be due; if an overlay is constructed, after year 10, no reimbursement
will be due to USPS.
