I c THIS WOULD, OF COURSE, REQUIRE A LARGE CASH TIE—UP. THE LIMITED DEPOSIT WOULD BE THE SAME, BUT WITH A MAXIMUM OF $5,000. THE THIRD ALTERNATIVE WOULD PRESENT THE CUSTOMER WITH THE OPTION OF PUTTING UP A DEPOSIT OR SUPPLYING THE COUNTY WITH A SATISFACTORY CREDIT REPORT. HE DISCUSSED WITH THE BOARD THE SUGGESTED CREDIT APPLICATION FORM AND STATED THAT HE WOULD RECOMMEND THE THIRD ALTERNATIVE OF DEPOSIT AS AN OPTION. COMMISSIONER DEESON SUGGESTED THAT IT BE REQUIRED THAT ALL OPEN ACCOUNTS BE LISTED ON THE CREDIT APPLICATION AND POINTED OUT THE IMPORTANCE OF REQUIRING AN UP TO DATE CREDIT REPORT. HE FELT IT ALSO MAY BE NECESSARY TO REQUIRE A CREDIT REPORT ON THE INDIVIDUAL AS WELL AS THE BUSINESS. COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED IF WE ACTUALLY ARE CONSIDERING EXTEND— ING CREDIT TO INDIVIDUALS. SHE HAD FELT THIS WAS INTENDED MAINLY FOR THE LARGER COMPANIES. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON NOTED THAT A YARD MAINTENANCE MAN, FOR INSTANCE, MIGHT WANT A CREDIT CARD: ALTHOUGH, HE DOUBTED THAT AN INDIVIDUAL REALLY WILL WANT CREDIT AT THE LANDFILL. COMMISSIONER DEESON POINTED OUT THAT IF YOU OFFER CREDIT TO ONE, YOU WILL HAVE TO OFFER IT TO ALL, AND IF YOU TURN SOMEONE DOWN, YOU HAVE JO NOTIFY HIM BY MAIL. DISCUSSION CONTINUED IN REGARD TO ISSUING.CREDIT AND THE PROBLEMS INVOLVED. COMMISSIONER LOY FELT WE ARE TRYING TO HELP LARGE USERS AND NOT REQUIRE THEM TO PUT UP LARGE DEPOSITS. CHAIRMAN WODTKE SUGGESTED HAVING A MINIMUM CREDIT DEPOSIT OF $100 WHICH HE FELT WOULD DISCOURAGE SMALL USERS FROM APPLYING FOR CREDIT. HE STATED THAT HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE COUNTY HAVING TO SEND OUT BILLS FOR SMALL AMOUNTS. MR. NELSON STATED THAT HE CHECKED WITH HAULERS, ETC., AND THE LARGE MAXIMUM DEPOSIT WAS NOT WELL RECEIVED. THEY PREFERRED THE DEPOSIT ON OPTION. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT LIKED THE IDEA OF A MINIMUM DEPOSIT RE— QUIREMENT IN ADDITION TO THE CREDIT REPORT. COMMISSIONER DEESON FELT THE ATTORNEY SHOULD CHECK THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COUNTY TO DEAL WITH CREDIT. 32 ECQK 3 ma 6 um
