ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS STATED THAT HE UNDERSTOOD MR. PINCHUK'S POSITION, AND FELT THAT IF ANYONE ADDITIONAL WISHED TO COME IN AND IT REQUIRED FURTHER EXPANSION, THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.- HE NOTED THAT THE COUNTY CAN'T GET IN THE POSITION OF ENLARGING A -SEWER SYSTEM EVERY TIME A DEVELOPER COMES IN. COMMISSIONER $IEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THE COST FOR THE 36 UNITS WOULD BE $27,200 OR $756 PER UNIT. THE INDIVIDUAL APPLICANT PAYS ONLY. $200 FOR THE TAP -IN FEE, AND HE DID NOT THINK THIS WAS FAIR. ADMINISTRATOR .JENNINGS FELT THAT THE TAP -IN FEE SHOULD REMAIN AT A FIXED FEE'OF $200 UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE BOARD DECIDES TO CHANGE IT. HE FELT THAT WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT 36 UNITS, THIS IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM AN INDIVIDUAL RESIDENCE. MR. PINCHUK SUGGESTED THAT THEY PUT $15,000 IN AN ESCROW ACCOUNT TO BE USED FOR THE SURGE TANK SYSTEM; THAT THE $200 TAP -IN FEE BE WAIVED, AND THAT THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN LIFT STATION BASED ON THE COUNTY'S CRITERIA. COMMISSIONER $IEBERT FIRMLY STATED THAT THE LIFT STATION MUST BE PART OF THE COUNTY'S SYSTEM AND THE COUNTY'S RESPONSIBILITY. COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED IF WE FOLLOWED MR, PINCHUK'S SUGGES- TION, WE WOULD BE SETTING A POLICY WHEREBY LIFT STATIONS WOULD BE PART OF THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS. COMMISSIONER $IEBERT STATED HE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH REQUIRING THE DEVELOPER TO PAY AS PROPOSED AS LONG AS WE REQUIRE ANYBODY ELSE WHO w IMPACTS THE SYSTEM TO PAY AT AN IDENTICAL RATE. COMMISSIONER Loy POINTED OUT THAT THEIR REQUEST IS FOR 36 UNITS WHICH WILL OVERLOAD THE PRESENT SYSTEM AND REQUIRE MODIFICATION. SHE' FELT IF AN INDIVIDUAL APPLIES AND THERE IS CAPACITY, THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO PRORATE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. SHE DID NOT FEEL IT IS FAIR TO COMPARE AN INDIVIDUAL TO A 36 UNIT PROJECT.. SHE CONTINUED THAT SHE DID NOT LIKE TO SEE A DIME PUT INTO THE PLANT, HOPING WE COULD WORK SOMETHING OUT WITH THE CITY. DISCUSSION CONTINUED ALONG THE SAME LINES. 15 JAN 241979 BdOK 38 PAGE 454 J
