1 1) DOES THE COUNTY HAVE OBJECTIONS TO MR. WILSON RECEIVING SERVICE; 2) WOULD THE COMMISSION BE AGREEABLE TO ALLOCATING THE BALANCE OF THE 27 TAPS TO EXISTING RESIDENTS; AND 3) WOULD THE COMMISSION BE INTERESTED IN OVERSIZING THE•LINE TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE EVENT THE OTHER TWO THINGS CAN BE WORKED OUT? ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT, FROM HIS POINT OF VIEW, THE COSTS OF PRO- VIDING WATER TO THE WILSON HOUSE AND THE OTHER RESIDENTS SHOULD BE BORNE BY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO RECEIVE THE SERVICES, BUT HE WOULD RECOMMEND THE COUNTY INCUR ANY COSTS NECESSARY TO OVERSIZE THE LINE, IF THEY SHOULD DECIDE TO DO SO. CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED WE HAVE A SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT IN THIS AREA, AND HE FELT POSSIBLY THE OVERSIZING SHOULD BE BORNE BY THE TAXING DISTRICT. ATTORNEY COLLINS POINTED OUT THAT THE COUNTY DOESN'T HAVE THE ABILITY AT THIS TIME TO PROVIDE ALL THE PEOPLE IN THAT DISTRICT WITH SERVICES, AND THE QUESTION ARISES WHETHER THEY SHOULD BE TAXED AND NOT RECEIVE THE SERVICE. ATTORNEY JEROME KRAMER APPEARED REPRESENTING GEORGE WILSON AND INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE SITUATION IS MORE CRITICAL THAN HAS BEEN INDICATED BECAUSE MR. WILSON HAS HAD A STROKE AND IS CRIPPLED AND HAS TO TRAVEL TO MELBOURNE TO THE KIDNEY TREATMENT CENTER SEVERAL TIMES EVERY WEEK. HE CONTINUED THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOW SET ASIDE FUNDS AND IS MORE OR LESS FORCING PEOPLE TO HAVE HOME DIALYSIS TREATMENT. ATTORNEY KRAMER NOTED THAT THE PROPERTY APPRAISAL ADJUSTMENT BOARD GRANTED MR. WILSON AN ADJUSTMENT BECAUSE OF HIS PROBLEM WITH WATER. ATTORNEY KRAMER THEN DISCUSSED THE WATER SITUATION IN THE COUNTY, NOTING THAT HE BELIEVES THE 27 WATER TAPS CANNOT BE RELEASED WITHOUT THE CITY'S CONCURRENCE. HE DOUBTED THE CITY WILL AGREE TO THIS UNTIL THE COUNTY CAN ASSURE THEM OF THE AVAILABILITY OF WATER. ATTORNEY KRAMER REQUESTED THAT THE COUNTY TAKE A "CAMP DAVID" APPROACH TO MR. WILSON'S REQUEST AND TAKE ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. 13 11 an 39 PAGt168
