11 ON THE AGENDA FOR THIS AFTERNOON, BUT MAYOR SCURLOCK, WHO APPARENTLY ASSUMED THAT WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THE HOBART PARK AREA THAN WE DO AS YET, INFORMED HIM THAT THE CITY WANTED TO HAVE A THREE OR FOUR HOUR MEETING WHERE THEY COULD REALLY WORK AND COME TO SOME CONCLUSIONS. THE CHAIRMAN CONTINUED THAT THE CITY IS GOING.TO HAVE A WORKSHOP SESSION THIS WEEK AND REACH SOME DECISIONS, AND HE HAS INDICATED TO THE CITY THAT THE BOARD ALSO WILL HAVE A WORKSHOP SESSION WHEN WE DETERMINE OUR SITUATION AT HOBART PARK. CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT IT IS NECESSARY THAT BOTH THE CITY AND THE COUNTY DETERMINE WHAT EACH WANTS AND IS WILLING TO DO AND MAKE SOME CONCRETE PROPOSALS SO A POLICY CAN BE SET UP BEFORE MUCH LONGER, CHAIRMAN WODTKE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE GIFFORD WATER AND SEWER ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS GOING TO DO AN IMMEDIATE SURVEY OF THE PRESENT AREA BEING SERVED, WHICH IS BEING RENOVATED, TO SEE WHAT ADDI- TIONAL CUSTOMERS CAN BE -PICKED UP. HE NOTED THAT A QUESTION HAS ARISEN AS TO WHETHER THE $200.00 TAP -IN FEE CAN BE PAID OVER A PERIOD OF TIME OR WHETHER IT MUST BE PAID IN ADVANCE, AND HE QUESTIONED IF THE BOARD LEGALLY COULD ALLOW INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT HE FELT SINCE THE BOARD.CAN LEGISLATE A TAP -IN FEE, THERE IS NO REASON THEY CAN `T LEGISLATE A TIME PAYMENT. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED AS TO WHETHER ANY OF THIS COULD BE DONE UNDER THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM, AND COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER STATED THAT THIS COULD NOT BE COVERED IN THE PRESENT APPLICA- TION, BUT POSSIBLY COULD BE INCLUDED AT A LATER TIME. COMMISSIONER Loy INQUIRED ABOUT CHARGING INTEREST, AND IT WAS AGREED THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME INCENTIVE TO MAKE THE PAYMENT IN A LUMP SUM RATHER THAN AS A TIME PAYMENT. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS POINTED OUT THAT ALTHOUGH THE LUMP SUM PAYMENT IS PREFERABLE, YOU ALSO WANT TO ATTRACT AS MANY CUSTOMERS AS POSSIBLE. DISCUSSION CONTINUED IN REGARD TO VARIOUS PAYMENT PLANS. APR 19 1978 r BOOK 34 PAGF. 323
