COMMISSIONER LYONS REQUESTED THAT THE ATTORNEY CLARIFY WHAT HE MEANT BY A CHARGE FOR A FRANCHISE. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT THE COUNTY HAS AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE A CERTAIN FEE FROM FRANCHISE HOLDERS. HE COMMENTED THAT SOME COUNTIES DO MAKE A PROFIT, BUT HE FELT THE FEE SHOULD BE RELATED TO COST OF INSPECTION AND REGULATION SO YOU ARE NOT USING OTHER COUNTY FUNDS TO SUPPORT THIS ACTIVITY. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF THIS WOULD ENTAIL WATER QUALITY TESTING OR WHETHER WE COULD JUST REQUIRE THEY MEET CERTAIN HEALTH STANDARDS. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT IT WOULD REQUIRE A LOT MORE THAN THAT BECAUSE YOU CAN STILL GET A GOOD WATER SAMPLE FROM A DETERIORATING SYSTEM, CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE DID NOT WANT TO GET INTO A LOT OF DUPLICATION. HE POINTED OUT THAT SOME TESTING IS REQUIRED BY THE DER AND POSSIBLY WE COULD RECEIVE COPIES.

CHAIRMAN WODTKE COMMENTED THAT THE BASIC ISSUE IS THAT WE HAVE A MORATORIUM THAT IS RUNNING OUT SHORTLY, AND WE NEED TO ADDRESS 32 BOOK 39 PAGE 336
