OF AND THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE THAT IS DES- <br />PERATELY, IN THIS CASE, NEEDED, <br />THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHED TO BE HEARD. <br />, <br />WILLIAM BALL OF SUMMERPLACE ASKED IF THE DISTRICTS BEING CON- <br />:SIDERED TODAY ARE APPROVED, WHY SHOULD JUST THESE FEW DISTRICTS BE ASKED <br />'TO PROVIDE WATER TO THE HOSPITAL WHICH IS ACOUNTY-SUPPORTED DISTRICT? <br />MR. DAMEROWN ANSWERED THAT !'HE HOSPITAL IS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF <br />THESE DISTRICTS, AND CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT THE HOSPITAI. HAS ITS OWN <br />WATER ALLOCATION, HAS CONSTRUCTED ITS OWN LINE, AND IS A CUSTOMER OF THE <br />CITY OF VERO BEACH. <br />WILLIAM KOOLAGE OF 815 26TH AVENUE STATED THAT HE IS VERY WELL <br />A <br />AWARE OF THE DIRE NEED IN THIS AREA FOR WATER SUPPLY AND SOMETHING MUST <br />BE DONE. HE FELT THERE HAS BEEN ENOUGH PUBLICITY ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR <br />AREA TO WARRANT SOMETHING BEING DONE, BUT NOTED HE WAS CONCERNED THAT THE <br />MAIN COST WILL FALL ON THE PRESENT OWNERS AND FELT AN IMPACT COST SHOULD <br />BE CONSIDERED TO LEVY ON THE NEW ARR?`.'ALS WHO COME INTO THIS AREA, MR. <br />KOOLAGE STATED THAT HE WOULD OBJECT TO CREATING ;NY NEW TAXING DISTRICT <br />WHERE THE NEED HAS NOT BEEN SUFFICIENTLY PUBLICIZED AND KNOWN BY THE TAX- <br />PAYER. HE WOULD, HOWEVER, AGREE WITH ESTABLISHING ONE IN THIS AREA, BUT <br />NOT IN THE OTHERS. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT WITH REFERENCE TO IMPACT <br />COSTS, HE FELT SUCH A COST WOULD BE PASSED ON TO THE NEW PURCHASER AS THE <br />LAND WOULD BE WORTH MORE. HE ALSO NOTED THAT THE STATE HAS TRIED TO IM- <br />POSE AN IMPACT TAX UPON DEVELOPMENT BUT HAS MET WITH VERY LITTLE SUCCESS <br />BECAUSE OF DOUBT OF THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF AN IMPACT FEE. COMMISSIONER <br />SIEBERT ALSO POINTED OUT THAT ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF <br />A TAXING DISTRICT IS THAT IF WE ARE EVER IN A POSITION TO ACQUIRE A FEDERAL <br />GRANT WHICH MAY MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO PUT IN A SYSTEM BUT NOT SUPPLY ALL THE <br />MONEY REQUIRED, HAVING THE TAXING DISTRICT ALREADY SET UP WOULD MAKE IT <br />POSSIBLE TO PUT IN A SYSTEM AT THE LEAST POSSIBLE COST TO THE TAXPAYER. <br />IT IS REALLY A PRECAUTIONARY SAFEGUARD SO WE WILL BE PREPARED TO TAKE <br />ADVANTAGE OF A SITUATION WHERE WE COULD GET SOME GRANT MONEY. HE ALSO <br />NOTED THAT THE 3 MILL FIGURE PROBABLY WILL NEVER BE USED, <br />E <br />DEC 1 61976 <br />Pei a 1 , 05 <br />I <br />
