f <br />MR. KOOLAGE STATED THAT HE DID NOT BELIEVE A NEW PURCHASER IS <br />NECESSARILY GOING TO PAY THE IMPACT COST AND FELT YOU COULD NOT DISTINGUISH <br />BETWEEN RISES FROM INFLATION AND BENEFIT FROM PUTTING IN WATER SERVICE. <br />,HE CONTINUED THAT HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN PROVIDING MORE MONEY THAN IS <br />,NECESSARY OR MORE GOVERNMENT. <br />CHARLES LIMMER OF $08 22ND STREET INFORMED THE BOARD THAT, SPEAK- <br />ING AS A PAST MEMBER OF A BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, HE AGREED THAT THE <br />NEED FOR WHAT THE BOARD IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IS PREVALENT, AND HE FELT <br />THE BOARD IS TAKING THE RIGHT ROUTE WITH WHICH TO DO IT. HE FURTHER NOTED <br />THAT HE IS A MEMBER OF THE TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION BUT CANNOT GIVE ANY CON- <br />SENSUS AS THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER, HE ASKED <br />IF THE NUMBER OF CONNECTIONS AVAILABLE IN THE AREA HAS BEEN DETERMINED. <br />MR. DAMEROW REPLIED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO ACTUAL OR EVEN PRE- <br />LIMINARY DESIGN AT THIS POINT. <br />MR. ZIMMER ASKED IF THE BOARD IS IN A POSITION TO FIGURE HOW MUCH <br />ANTICIPATED REVENUE COULD BE APPLIED AGAINST THE COST, <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ANSWERED THAT THERE IS AN EXISTING WATER <br />SYSTEM IN THIS AREA AND WE WOULD BE SUPPLYING WATER TO THE FRANCHISE HOLDER, <br />WHO, IN TURN, SUPPLIES IT TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS FRANCHISE HOLDER HAS <br />BEEN FUNDED BY FNA, WHO HAS TO BE SURE THAT THE SYSTEM WILL BE SUPPORTED. <br />MR. ZIMMER ASKED WHETHER CONSTRUCTION WILL BE STOPPED AT STREETS <br />WHERE INSUFFICIENT REVENUE WILL BE PRODUCED OR WHETHER LINES WILL BE CON- <br />STRUCTED THROUGH UNDEVELOPED AREAS. <br />COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT WE DO HAVE A COUNTYWIDE SEWER AND <br />WATER STUDY MADE THREE YEARS AGO, BUT WE HAVE NOT GONE AS FAR AS ACTUAL <br />CONSTRUCTION. THE SETTING UP OF THESE DISTRICTS IS BECAUSE OF A STATE <br />LAW THAT REQUIRES US TO BE PREPARED AND IS REALLY A LAST RESORT AS FAR AS <br />THE BOARD IS CONCERNED. <br />MR, ZIMMER STATED THAT HE DID NOT FEEL THE CITIZENS SHOULD BE <br />AFRAID THAT JUST BECAUSE THESE DISTRICTS MAY BE SET UP, THEIR TAXES WILL <br />AUTOMATICALLY GO UP AND NOTED THAT IF A SYSTEM IS PUT IN AND OPERATED ON A <br />BUSINESSLIKE BASIS, A TAX WOULD NOT BE NECESSARY. <br />N <br />DEC 161976 <br />
