THIS ACCOMPLISHED, HE NOTED THAT THIS ORDINANCE ALSO CARRIES A 3 MILL CAP WHICH HE FEELS IS QUITE CONSIDERABLE AND FEELS THAT THE BOARD HAS MORE THAN PLAYED IT SAFE BY SETTING THIS AMOUNT; HOWEVER, IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, IF THE LAND MUST BE PURCHASED, IT MAY NOT BE TOO MUCH. COMMISSIONER LOY AGREED THAT THEY HAVE PLAYED IT SAFE WITH THIS .:AMOUNT, BUT NOTED THAT IN THE ROCKRIDGE SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT, THEY HAVE THE AUTHORIZATION TO LEVY UP TO 3 MILLS AND HAVE NEVER COME ANYWHERE NEAR THIS AMOUNT. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THE 3 MILL FIGURE IS STRICTLY ARBI- TRARY AND WAS HIS RECOMMENDATION BASED ON WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THE ONLY TAXING DISTRICT THAt"TAXES TO ITS LIMIT IS THE SCHOOL BOARD. CHAIRMAN WODTKE REMARKED, AS HE HAD STATED PREVIOUSLY, THAT THIS IS ONLY ONE ALTERNATIVE WE WILL BE CONSIDERING AND POSSIBLY THE LEAST DE- SIRABLE. THERE BEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 76-27, CREATING A SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL AND COLLEC- TION MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT WITHIN THE ENTIRE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER STATED THAT HE IS A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT THE 3 MILLS. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT IN THIS PARTICULAR DISTRICT THE COUNTY IS FACING TERRIFIC EXPENSES AND NEEDS THE MILLAGE, AND COMMIS- SIONER Loy STATED THAT SHE FEELS THERE IS MORE JUSTIFICATION FOR IT HERE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER NOTED THAT THIS DISTRICT CAN BRING IN MONEY. IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, THE BOARD AGREED ANY MONEY BROUGHT IN WOULD BE NEEDED, AND CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HIS ONLY CONCERN IS THAT 3 MILLS WOULD BE ENOUGH IF THIS WERE THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED ORDINANCE 76-27. DEC. 16 L_
