Deputy County Attorney Collins said he filed a motion in opposition and argued that a reasonable attorney's fee based upon statutory factors would be $19,503.82.

BOHLER, JR. -DRAINAGE PROBLEMSAT HERON CAYMOBILE HOME COMMUNITY Fred Bohler, 42 Calypso Cay, Heron Cay, recounted standing-water/stormwater drainage problems that have been on-going for more than a year at Heron Cay Mobile Home Community. Community Development Director Robert Keating and other staff were very helpful and had written the park owner explaining what needed to be done in order to get the drainage problems corrected. The park owner's attorney wrote back advising that the problem belongs to the individual homeowners. More correspondence has been sent and the situation has gone on too long. He had been waiting for Deputy County Attorney Collins to write the park owner asking that he abide by the conditions set out in Mr. Keating's earlier letter. He was now appealing to the Board for action. Deputy County Attorney Collins concurred with Mr. Bohler's comments adding that although the park owner's attorney believed responsibility for the drainage was that of the unit owners, he had not come to that conclusion nor did he agree with that opinion. He estimated that writing such a letter would take about two hours of his time. He apologized to Mr. Bohler and said DECEMBER 3, 2002 9 BK 124 PG 750
