CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT THAT ROSELAND IS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR NEEDS WITH ONE TRUCK, AND MR. WARD NOTED THEY HAVE RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS. THE CHAIRMAN REMINDED HIM THAT THOSE HAVE TO BE FUNDED ALSO. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THE ROSELAND'S BUDGET REQUESTS JUST LOOKS AT ONE YEAR, AND -THERE IS VERY LITTLE CAPITAL OUTLAY OR MAINTENANCE INCLUDED IN IT SINCE'THEIR TRUCK IS RELATIVELY NEW. MORE THAN THAT WILL BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE. MR. WARD FELT THAT -WHEN THE SHOPPING CENTER IS INCLUDED IN THEIR TAX BASE, AND WITH THE RATE OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA, THE BASE WILL INCREASE TO TAKE CARE OF WHAT THEY NEED. HE STATED THAT HE MAINLY CAME TO THIS -MEETING TO GET INFORMATION AND ASKED IF' THERE IS ANY WAY THEY CAN ESTABLISH ROSELAND AS A TAXING DISTRICT SINCE THEY CANNOT INCORPORATE UNDER STATE LAW, ATTORNEY COLLINS DID NOT FEEL THAT IT IS FEASIBLE WITHIN THIS YEAR TO SET UP SUCH A DISTRICT, BUT STATED THAT IT IS FEASIBLE TO SET ONE UP. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT INFORMED MR. WARD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PETITION THE COMMISSION TO SET UP SUCH A DISTRICT, AND THE COM- MISSIONERS MUST DECIDE IF THEY FEEL IT IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COUNTY. IN ADDITION, THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WOULD HAVE TO BE THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THE DISTRICT. MR. WARD WAS OF THE OPINION THAT AS A SEPARATE DISTRICT, THEY WOULD HAVE MORE IMPORTANCE AND MORE CLOUT. ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL IF MR, WARD WOULD ATTEND THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS ON THE FIRE DISTRICTS, AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT SUGGESTED THAT HE STUDY THE MINUTES OF THE NORTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT MEETINGS. CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED HE DID NOT WANT TO MISLEAD MR. WARD. HE NOTED THERE IS A VOTE COMING UP ON THE NORTH COUNTY DISTRICT IN MARCH, AND HE WOULD CERTAINLY FEEL THAT THERE WILL BE A POSITIVE VOTE. IF THAT IS SO, THEN THERE WILL BE ONE TAXING DISTRICT IN THAT ENTIRE NORTH COUNTY AREA, AND HE FELT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DELETE ONE AREA. SEP 2 41979 E poow 41 PAGE to I
