r J U L 181979 EOOK. 41 Pa -UF 223 ATTORNEY BROWN BELIEVED THAT THE COURT MIGHT, AT THE COUNTY'S REQUEST, ISSUE A MANDATORY INJUNCTION REQUIRING THE PROPERTY OWNER TO OPEN IT BACK UP. HE FELT THE CHAIRMAN'S POINT THAT THE COUNTY ONLY ACCEPTED THE EASEMENT FOR MAINTENANCE AND DID NOT AGREE TO BUILD IT WAS VERY WELL TAKEN. ATTORNEY BROWN DID NOT FEEL THE COUNTY HAS AN OBLIGATION TO GO IN AND DO WHAT THE DEVELOPER WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE DONE. HE CONTINUED THAT IN REGARD TO MAINTAINING THAT PARTICULAR DITCH WHICH IS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, THE COUNTY CAN DO THIS AS LONG AS NO OBJECTION IS RAISED. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF THE ADMINISTRATOR NEEDS AUTHORIZATION TO GO IN AND CUT THE ROAD. THE ADMINISTRATOR STATED THAT HE DOESN'T NEED AN AUTHORIZATION FOR THE ROAD ON THE EASEMENTS SHOWN ON THE PLAT. THE QUESTION IS ABOUT THE 10' DRAIN THAT IS NOT ON THE REAR EASEMENT. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT IF THE BOARD IS SAYING WE HAVE NO OBLIGATION WHERE A DRAINAGE DITCH WAS PUT IN THE WRONG SPOT, HE WILL ABIDE BY THAT ALTHOUGH HE IS NOT SURE HE AGREES WITH IT. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT WE SHOULD MAKE THIS OUR GENERAL POLICY, BUT THE CHAIRMAN WAS OF THE OPINION THAT THE BOARD SHOULD LOOK AT EACH AND EVERY CASE THAT COMES UP. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, COMMISSIONER SIEBERT VOTED IN OPPOSITION, THE BOARD AGREED THAT IN THE CASE OF PONDEROSA ESTATES THE LIABILITY OF THE COUNTY IS LIMITED TO MAINTENANCE OF THE DRAINAGE DITCH AS IT NOW EXISTS ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. DIANE LIMBEROFF NEXT CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND REPORTED THAT SHE HAD CONTACTED THE LEAA PEOPLE IN REGARD TO THE SPOUSE ABUSE PROGRAM, AND THEY SAID THAT 5% OF THE TOTAL GRANT CAN BE USED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. SHE NOTED THAT IF THIS WERE DONE FOR THE APPROXIMATELY $15,000 BEING APPLIED FOR, IT WOULD COME OFF OF THEIR TINY BUDGET, BUT IT COULD BE DONE ON THE NEXT GRANT. COMMISSIONER LOY EXPLAINED THAT THE 5% OF THE TOTAL GRANT THAT IS OUR PART MUST BE PAID IN CASH, BUT LEAA WILL ALSO AUTHORIZE 5% OF THE GRANT TO BE USED FOR ADMINISTRATION.
