`AUG 2 41973 s IF THERE IS A MORATORIUM IMPOSED ON BUILDING. THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS BEEN DENIED THE RIGHT TO USE HIS LAND AND COULD DEMAND LOWER TAXES. - COMMISSIONER DRITENBAS FURTHER STATED THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY THAT HAVE SEPTIC TANKS THAT ARE NOT OPERATING AND ARE IN DIRE NEED OF A SEWER SYSTEM. THESE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN. COMMISSIONER DRITENBAS ALSO -POINTED OUT THAT THE INTEREST RATE OF 5% ON THE $20,639,000.00 FROM F.N.A. SHOULD NOT BE THE MAJOR FACTOR IN MAKING THIS DECISION COMMISSIONER BOGOSIAN STATED THAT HE HAD TWO THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM: 1. AS A CITIZEN HE DID NOT NEED SEWERS. 2. AS A COUNTY COMMISSIONER HE WOULD HAVE TO BE IN FAVOR OF THIS PROGRAM. COMMISSIONER BOGOSIAN STATED THAT HE DOES NOT FEEL THAT THE APPROXIMATELY 300 PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED THE PUBLIC INFORMATION HEARING, WHO WERE OPPOSED TO THE SEWER AND WATER SYSTEM, REPRESENT THE WHOLE COUNTY. HE FURTHER STATED THAT MAYBE THIS IS NOT A PRACTICAL PROGRAM FOR THE CITRUS PROPERTY OWNERS, BUT THERE ARE AREAS WHERE,THERE IS A CRITICAL NEED AND WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO WORK AT PUTTING TOGETHER A SYSTEM THAT WILL BENEFIT THOSE AREAS. COMMISSIONER BOGOSIAN SUGGESTED THAT WE GO BACK TO THE CONSULTING ENGINEERS AND: WORK OUT A PROGRAM FOR CERTAIN CRITICAL AREAS THAT WOULD BE MOST PRACTICAL AND THAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. COMMISSIONER BOGOSIAN SUGGESTED WORKING OUT A REASONABLE MODIFICATION PROGRAM TO SERVE THE EVERYDAY USER AND NOT THE CITRUS PEOPLE. COMMISSIONER DRITENBAS SUGGESTED THAT WE PUT THE QUESTION TO REFERENDUM. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE DID NOT THINK IT WOULD BE PROPER SINCE MANY PEOPLE WILL BE VOTING THAT ARE NOT AFFECTED BY IT. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE LIKED COMMISSIONER BOGOSIAN'S SUGGESTION TO SUPPLY AREAS WITH A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE A CRITICAL PROBLEM AND NEED. _3- �f.� eeox '17 MAD
