WILL BE EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE TO FIND THE SOLUTION. THE CHAIRMAN <br />CONTINUED THAT WE HAVE FRANCHISES THAT THE OWNERS MAY WALK AWAY FROM <br />AND LEAVE THE COUNTY TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES, AND WE HAVE TO BE <br />ABLE TO DO IT ON AN ECONOMICAL BASIS. HE NOTED THAT THE PROPOSED <br />MILLAGE ON A $40,000 TAXABLE HOME WOULD AMOUNT TO $30.00 THIS YEAR. <br />MRS. LYNCH FELT THE BOUNDARY LINES ARE NOT FAIR BECAUSE THERE <br />ARE MANY OTHER POPULATED AREAS AND ALSO FELT THE WAY IT WAS ADVERTISED <br />WAS (.QUITE DECEPTIVE. <br />GERARD BRENNER, EX—CANDIDATE FOR THE BOARD OF COUNTY <br />COMMISSIONERS, STATED THAT THE BIG PROBLEM IS THAT THE PEOPLE DON'T <br />WANT TO PAY THE TAX, AND HE CAN SEE WHY. HE STATED THAT THE BOARD <br />HAS A FIGURE OF $4,000 IN THE BUDGET FOR A STUDY FOR THE HOSPITAL, <br />AND IN ANOTHER PLACE HAS A DIFFERENT FIGURE FOR RENOVATING THE HOSPITAL <br />OF $466,000. HE DID NOT SEE WHY THE BOARD SHOULD SPEND MONEY FOR <br />RENOVATING THE HOSPITAL WHICH BENEFITS NOBODY BUT THE GOVERNMENTAL <br />PEOPLE AND MAKE THESE PEOPLE PAY A TAX. HE THEREFORE, SUGGESTED THE <br />BOARD REARRANGE THE BUDGET AND PAY FOR THE WATER STUDY. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS POINTED OUT THAT THE HOSPITAL IS GOING <br />TO BE TURNED INTO COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES, WHICH WILL BENEFIT <br />THE COUNTY AS A WHOLE. HE FURTHER NOTED THE STUDY WE ARE TALKING <br />ABOUT TONIGHT WILL APPLY ONLY WITHIN THIS PARTICULAR DISTRICT, AND <br />IT WOULD BE UNFAIR)AND PROBABLY DUAL TAXATION, IF OTHER TAXES WERE <br />USED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THIS SPECIFIC AREA INSTEAD OF ON A UNIFORM <br />BASIS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. <br />MR..BRENNER FELT THERE IS FEDERAL MONEY THAT COULD BE USED <br />TO PAY FOR THE WATER STUDY INSTEAD OF PUTTING IT ON THE TAXPAYERS, <br />MR. BRENNER.CONTINUED THAT IF THIS TAX IS ASSESSED, ARE WE GOING TO <br />PAY FOR THE RICH THAT ARE GOING TO COME IN AND OPEN UP THESE STORES <br />AND COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE MALLS. HE FELT THE TAX IS UNFAIR <br />BECAUSE IT IS LOOKING TO THE RICH PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING IN. <br />o MR. STEINITZ INQUIRED IF ANY CONSIDERATION WAS GIVEN <br />TO LEVYING THE TAX AGAINST THE FINAL USERS. HE ALSO FELT THAT OFTEN <br />THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS MONEY FOR SUCH STUDIES AS THIS. <br />0 <br />SEP 2 8 1978 <br />36 pAr 3 <br />
