WILLIAM KOOLAGE, INTERESTED CITIZEN, APPROACHED THE BOARD AND NOTED THAT THE COUNTY HAS THREE SANITARY SERVICES AND FELT THE COUNTY SHOULD LOOK INTO HAVING ONLY ONE SERVICE, AS HE COULD NOT SEE A SMALL SERVICE BEING EFFICIENT. COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED THAT HE FELT IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE COMPETITION, AND EACH SERVICE IS TRYING TO DO A GOOD JOB. HE ADDED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE INFORMATION CONCERNING INCOME AND EXPENSES FOR AT LEAST TWO OR THREE YEARS FOR REVIEW, AND SUGGESTED CONTINUING THIS PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL A LATER DATE. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED HE DID NOT THINK A READVERTISEMENT WOULD BE NECESSARY; SIMPLY DO NOT CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, AS THE BOARD IS REQUESTING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. COMMISSIONER DEESON SUGGESTED THAT IN THE FUTURE, THE COUNTY MIGHT REQUIRE THESE STATEMENTS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, IN ORDER TO TRACE THE HISTORY FROM ONE RATE INCREASE TO THE NEXT -ONE. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED AND THE BOARD DECIDED THAT INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO A FRANCHISE HOLDER AS TO WHAT IS REQUIRED AT THE HEARING, SUCH AS A PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT, BALANCE SHEET AND POSSIBLY A PROJECTION. ON MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AGREED TO CONTINUE THIS PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL JULY 9, 1980 AT 10:00 O'CLOCK A.M. COMMISSIONER LYONS SUGGESTED THAT ON ,JULY 9, 1980, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THE ADMINISTRATOR'S OFFICE COULD HAVE A PROPOSED INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR APPLICANTS FOR FRANCHISE RATE INCREASES FOR THE BOARD TO REVIEW. HE THEN QUESTIONED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING TO BE GAINED BY SOME SORT OF A GEOGRAPHICAL FRANCHISE IN THE COUNTY. MR. KNIGHT FELT THAT WOULD ELIMINATE THE COMPETITION AND HE COMMENTED THAT HAVING OPEN COMPETITION BREEDS BETTER SERVICE FOR THE CONSUMER.
