·         2021 EC Borough Purchase of Assets Rate Calculation

June 2020 CPI = 257.797

June 2012 CPI = 229.478

Formula = Current CPI / 2012 CPI = % of increase or decrease.

 % x 2012 POA rate = $amount of increase or decrease.

$amount + 2012 POA rate = new $amount.

2021 POA Calculation:

257.797/229.478 = 1.1234%

$16,272.11 x 1.1234% = $182.80

$16,272.11 + $182.80 = $16,454.91

2021 POA payments = $16,454.91

Motion by Bob Dugan to approve 2021 adjustment calculation for Evans City Borough Purchase of Assets monthly payment. Seconded by Vito Pilosi, III. Unanimously approved.
