WILLIAM KOOLAGE, INTERESTED CITIZEN, FELT THE COUNTY SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY THE TRANSMISSION LINES FOR $1.00 AFTER SEVEN YEARS, IN DISCUSSION, IT WAS GENERALLY FELT THAT THE ATTORNEY'S PROPOSAL PROVIDES MORE FLEXIBILITY. COMMISSIONER LYONS INQUIRED ABOUT EASEMENTS, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT WE ARE PROVIDING THAT THE NECESSARY EASEMENTS WILL BE CONVEYED TO THE COUNTY. COMMISSIONER LYONS BROUGHT UP THE POSSIBILITY OF CHANGING THE 7 YEARS TO 17 YEARS AND ASKED IF THAT WOULD INHIBIT THE DEVELOPER. THE ATTORNEY FELT THAT IT WOULD. HE NOTED THAT THE DEVELOPER WANTED THE COUNTY TO COMMIT TO A DEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME; SEVEN YEARS WAS THE FORMER POLICY, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT UNLESS WE MADE A TOTAL CHANGE, WE WERE COMMITTED TO IT.
