N.M. Admin. Code § 19.25.10.16

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 23, December 10, 2024

Section 19.25.10.16 - ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS

A. The board may impose and collect reasonable fees and costs in connection with the filing of a water project proposal or a financial application for approval of a water project and for financial assistance with the board and the authority. The board also may impose and collect an administrative fee from each qualifying entity that receives financial assistance from the water project fund. If an administrative fee is assessed, the administrative fee will be a percentage of the principal amount of the financial assistance provided to a qualifying entity. The administrative fee may be withheld from the principal amount of the financial assistance and will be retained in the water project fund. Alternatively, the board may levy an annual fee equal to a percentage of the outstanding principal amount of a loan. Specific percentages will be based on, among other things, the volume of financial assistance being provided to qualifying entities, the administrative costs of the board and the authority, and the availability of other revenue sources to cover the board's and the authority's administrative costs. The filing and administrative fee or fees may be used for, among other purposes, reimbursing the board or the authority for all or part of the costs of issuing bonds and other administrative costs, including any audits of the water project fund and the water trust fund.

B. The board and the authority may establish such other charges, premiums, fees and penalties deemed necessary for the administration of the water project fund and the water trust fund.
