KOOLAGE'S <br />REMARKS ABOUT THE ADVERTISEMENT AND FELT THAT IN THE FUTURE A SIMPLE <br />MAP SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE AD. HE ALSO AGREED THERE ARE SOME OTHER <br />DEVELOPMENTS THAT MIGHT WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS DISTRICT, BUT POINTED <br />OUT THAT IN ORDER TO TAX A DISTRICT, IT MUST BE CREATED BEFORE .JANUARY <br />OF THE YEAR YOU ARE GOING TO LEVY THE TAX. <br />TOM GUY OF 1375 30TH AVENUE ASKED WHETHER THIS WILL BE AN <br />ON—GOING TAX OR ONE THAT WILL"HAVE A DEFINITE TIME LIMIT.. <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT THE'COUNTY HAS MADE A COMMITMENT <br />TO BE IN THE WATER BUSINESS, AND WILL NECESSARILY BE IN IT IN A <br />VOLUME SITUATION1 HE STATED THAT THE ENGINEER -HAS BEEN INSTRUCTED <br />TO GET THE PERMITTING STAGES STARTED, BUT HE—DOES NOT SEE HOW ALL <br />THIS COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. HE CONTINUED THAT <br />BUILDING OF A TREATMENT PLANT IS QUITE SOME TIME AWAY, AND WHEN WE <br />GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE MUST TALK ABOUT THE COST FOR THE PLANT <br />AND DISTRIBUTION LINES, HE WOULD HOPE THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE DONE <br />ON AN AD VALOREM TAX BASIS,BUT HOPEFULLY THROUGH A BOND SITUATION. <br />THE CHAIRMAN NOTED THAT THE DOLLARS WE ARE RAISING NOW ARE SIMPLY <br />A DEVELOPMENT COST, AND HE FELT EVERYONE IN THE DISTRICT HAS AN <br />INTEREST AND SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAN. <br />c <br />8 <br />3.6 pnF-279 <br />
