I <br />ENGINEER .JAMES BEINDORF REPORTED THAT THE PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING <br />REPORT WHICH THE BOARD IS WAITING FOR TO DECIDE ON THE FUTURE OF THE WATER <br />AND SEWER FRANCHISES, WAS DUE TO BE FINISHED THE FIRST PART OF FEBRUARY. <br />THEY ARE WAITING FOR GERAGHTY AND °BILLER TO COME UP WITH THE WATER (QUALITY <br />AND QUANTITY IN THE SOUTH COUNTY AREA BECAUSE THE ENGINEERS CAN'T FINISH <br />THEIR REPORT WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION. MR. BEINDORF FELT GERAGHTY AND � <br />MILLER WILL BE A LITTLE LATE, AND THAT THEIR REPORT SHOULD BE COMPLETED <br />BY THE MIDDLE OR END OF FEBRUARY. <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT EXTENDING THE MORATORIUM <br />PARTICULARLY SINCE THIS ORDINANCE APPLIES EVERYWHERE IN THE COUNTY. HE' <br />FELT IT IS A LITTLE UNFAIR WHERE THERE ARE AREAS THAT COULD BE DEVELOPING <br />AND WE KNOW THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE WATER AND SEWER AVAILABLE FROM THE <br />COUNTY, HE -QUESTIONED WHETHER OR NOT WE COULD LEGALLY HAVE A MORATORIUM <br />ONLY IN 'A CERTAIN TAXING DISTRICT. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THAT WE PROBABLY COULD, BUT NOTED THAT HE <br />COULD LEGALLY FORESTALL ANY ATTEMPTS TO DECLARE THE MORATORIUM INVALID, IF <br />IT IS ONLY FOR A THREE MONTH PERIOD OF TIME. <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE COMMENTED THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET THROUGH OUR <br />201 STUDY SOON REGARDING WASTE WATER TREATMENTlAND HE FELT THE BOARD WILL <br />HAVE A DIFFERENT OUTLOOK ON FRANCHISES IN THE FUTURE REGARDLESS OF WHERE <br />THEY MIGHT BE APPROVED. HE CONTINUED THAT EVEN WITHIN THE TAXING DISTRICT <br />ITSELF, HE FEELS WHEN DEVELOPMENT DOES TAKE PLACE, IT IS GOING TO BE A <br />REQUIREMENT OF THE COUNTY THAT THEY PUT IN THEIR OWN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, <br />AND IF WE EXTEND THIS MORATORIUM TOO FAR IN TIME, IT WILL COST MORE FOR THE <br />DEVELOPERS TO PUT IN A DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WHICH THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO <br />TURN OVER TO THE COUNTY ANYWAY. THE CHAIRMAN FELT THE BOARD WILL HAVE TO <br />LOOK CLOSELY AT THE ATTORNEY'S SUGGESTION THAT THE LINES THAT ARE 'PUT IN <br />WILL BE DEEDED TO THE COUNTY OUTRIGHT AND THEN LEASED BACK AT A DOLLAR A YEAR. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT BELIEVED AN EXTENSION IS NECESSARY BECAUSE <br />HE IS NOT SATISFIED WITH OUR FRANCHISE DOCUMENT, WHICH HE FEELS MUST <br />BE REWRITTEN TO ESTABLISH WATER QUALITY LEVELS AND PROVIDE A WAY TO FORCE <br />FRANCHISE OPERATORS TO FURNISH US WITH QUALITY WATER AND MAINTAIN THEIR <br />SYSTEMS, <br />DISCUSSION CONTINUED ON THE NEED TO COME UP WITH MORE EFFICIENT <br />AND EFFECTIVE FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS BEFORE ISSUING ANY MORE. <br />JAN 10 1979 <br />39 <br />Y <br />38 pm' 400 <br />
