r. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT REVIEWED THE WAYS SUGGESTED TO ASSURE CONTINUED MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEMS - PERFORMANCE BOND, ESCROWING TAP - ON FEES, ESCROWING FIRST FEES COLLECTED SO AS NOT.TO IMPACT FINANCING OF A SYSTEM, ETC. HE ASKED IF THE BOARD COULD HAVE A RECOMMENDATION AS TO A FRANCHISE FEE TO PAY FOR SUPERVISION OF THE FRANCHISE. ENGINEER BEINDORF AGREED THAT WITH A NEW SYSTEM, MAINTENANCE WOULD BE NIL FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME. HE ALSO AGREED THAT ITIS NO GOOD TO HAVE REGULATIONS IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROLS. COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT WE ARE UNDOUBTEDLY LOOKING AT SOME SYSTEMS THAT WILL GO IN ON SIXTH AVENUE AND FELT WE SHOULD TAKE I- j A GOOD LOOK AT WHERE THE WELLS GO. ENGINEER BEINDORF POINTED OUT THAT THE COUNTY MUST ISSUE A I PERMIT BEFORE THE SYSTEM CAN BE BUILT SO THEY DO GET TO LOOK AT THE PLANS. • j HE FELT THAT fF THE BOARD WISHED TO REVIEW THE REPORTS SUBMITTED TO THE DER, THEY WOULD BE GLAD TO REFER THEM BACK FOR INPUT FROM THE BOARD. I? COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT WE ARE AT THIS TIME TRYING TO KEEP A TABULATION ON ALL THE WELLS IN THE COUNTY. ENGINEER BEINDOR'F INFORMED THE BOARD THAT WHAT HE AND ATTORNEY COLLINS MAINLY TRIED TO DO WAS STRENGTHEN THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT AND INCORPORATE A LOT OF THINGS WE HAD BEEN CONCERNEV ABOUT. HE STATED ! THAT THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO MAKE IT HARD ON THE FRANCHISE HOLDERS, BUT WANT TO ENSURE GOOD SYSTEMS SO THE PEOPLE WON'T KEEP COMING TO THE BOARD WITH COMPLAINTS. COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED IF IT WOULD BE THE PROPER TIME TO GET THE "AS BUILT" PLANS FROM THE FRANCHISE OPERATOR WHEN THEY ARE FINISHED WITH CONSTRUCTION AND COME IN TO GET THEIR OFFICIAL PERMIT. SHE SUG- GESTED WE MIGHT WITHHOLD THE PERMIT UNTIL WE DO OBTAIN THE "AS BUILT" PLANS. ENGINEER BEINDORF AGREED THAT THIS IS ONE WAY TO BE SURE OF GETTING THE "AS BUILT" PLANS, HE STATED THE "AS BUILTS" SHOULD BE FINISHED AT THAT TIME. AFTER FURTHER DISCUSSION, THE BOARD AGREED TO LET THE MORA- TORIUM EXPIRE. 52 BOOK 39 PAGE 406 APR 4 1979 L J
