Bax 43 f%cE 324 COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF MR. LINER WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT EXTENSIONS FROM MAJOR LINES THAT ARE GOING IN. MR. LINER NOTED THAT NORMALLY A UTILITY SYSTEM IS A LOOP SYSTEM AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE LARGE MAINS ON A REGULAR GRID. THESE MAINS -ARE OVERSIZE COMPARED TO ONE THAT WOULD SERVE A SINGLE RESIDENT, AND SOMEONE HAS TO PAY FOR THAT OVERSIZE AND GETTING THE FLOW TO A GIVEN POINT. WHEN THE LINE MUST BE EXTENDED A SHORT DISTANCE, WE COULD DO IT AND STILL CHARGE THESE FEES. THIS IS JUST FOR THE MAIN EXTENSIONS, NOTHING ELSE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT THERE CAN BE A PLANT CAPACITY CHARGE, AND THEY COULD OR COULD NOT BE CHARGED FOR EXTENSION OF THE LINES, OR IN OTHER WORDS, A TAP -IN FEE. MR. LINER STATED THAT DEVELOPERS WOULD PROBABLY BE INSTALLING THEIR OWN INTERNAL SYSTEMS IN THEIR PROJECTS AND WOULD NOT BE CHARGED A TAP -IN FEE; THERE WOULD BE A PLANT CAPACITY CHARGE, BUT NOT A TAP -IN FEE. COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED IF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO CONTINUE THIS PUBLIC HEARING AND HAVE A WORKSHOP IN BETWEEN BECAUSE THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT A MATTER FOR THE BOARD TO SIT HERE THIS AFTERNOON AND TRY TO DRAFT ALL THE RECOMMENDED CHANGES, CHAIRMAN SIEBERT AGREED THAT A WORKSHOP IS NECESSARY. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT NOW THEY HAVE AN IDEA OF SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE RAISED, THEY CAN WORK UP SOME RESPONSES.
