to help cover costs associated with operating and maintaining the EcoVillage. A “Permanent Resident” is a person who lives at the PTEV for more than 3 months during the year. Exceptions
will be made on a case-by-case basis, especially for starving students and aged parents. 2. Assessments will be modified according to: a. Size of personal residential heated space per
Member (this will include a portion of shared space such as kitchens, baths, etc. if these amenities are not in the personal dwelling.) b. Size of total personal residential unheated
space, including covered porches, greenhouses and storage sheds (per member), c. Ability to pay, d. Incen?tives (as of yet to be determined) to reduce our personal ecological footprints,
and e. Amount of Economic Interest in the PTEV, and f. Other factors as determined by the PTEV. 3. Shared utility costs will be averaged for each resident adult member, with children
age 5-17 counted as half an adult and those 18 or older as full adults, and will include: a. All water, storm water and sewer, b. All garbage, and c. Electricity and propane used in
common buildings and/or for common purposes NOTE: ”Common buildings and/or common purposes” refers to buildings (like the Club House) and purposes (like outdoor lighting and the well
pump) that are equally usable by all residents and/or Members. It does NOT include special use areas like portions of the Shop/Art Center where use fees may be charged. 4. All adult
residents (and not children) will share costs for the following: a. Property taxes, b. Insurance for liability and common property, c. Depreciation on common property, d. Maintenance
of common property, and e. PTEV operational costs. 5. Residential utility costs of electricity and propane will be metered and paid by the residents of each dwelling, or by a cluster

to operational and other costs through guest fees for guests who stay in a personal dwelling for more than one week or who are regular overnight visitors. The host of any guest who stays
in a common guest facility will pay a nightly, weekly or monthly fee for use. Workshop participants, potential members, and other PTEV hosted guests will be treated differently and exceptions
to this policy may be made on a case-by-case basis. A guest in this policy refers to anyone who is not a dependent of a Member.
