COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT WE CAN'T ASSESS THE TOTAL PROPERTY FOR THE MINIMUM LINE TO BEGIN WITH, BUT THE ATTORNEY SAW NO REASON THAT COULDNIT BE DONE. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMIS- SIONER WODTKE, TO LEVY A 3 MILL ASSESSMENT ON THE SOUTH BEACH WATER MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT. COMMISSIONER Loy INQUIRED ABOUT THE FIGURES FOR THE ADDI- TIONAL LINE NEEDED TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE SOUTH COUNTY LINE. ATTORNEY COLLINS REPORTED THAT THIS WOULD AMOUNT TO APPROXI- MATELY $200,000; S0, THE TOTAL PACKAGE TO REACH THE SOUTH COUNTY LINE WOULD BE IN THE VICINITY OF $300,000. COMMISSIONER WODTKE FELT RATHER THAN LEVYING THE 3 MILLS, IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO ADOPT A BUDGET OF $20,000. FINANCE OFFICER BARTON POINTED OUT THAT YOU WOULDN'T GET THE ENTIRE $20,000 BECAUSE THE TAXPAYERS WHO PAY THEIR BILLS EARLY GET A DISCOUNT. COMMISSIONER LYONS DISCUSSED CHANGING HIS MOTION TO SET A BUDGET OF $15,000 RATHER THAN THE 3 MILLS BECAUSE WE DONT KNOW FOR SURE WHAT THE PROPERTY VALUATION IS, AND HE FELT WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS SOMETHING THAT WILL LET THEM HAVE ENGINEERING COSTS AND OTHER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH LAUNCHING THE PROJECT. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THE PEOPLE DOWN THERE HAVE VOLUNTEERED SOME INITIAL FUNDING, BUT IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO CARRY THE PROJECT FORWARD. COMMISSIONER LYONS WITHDREW HIS MOTION AND COMMISSIONER WODTKE WITHDREW HIS SECOND. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COM- MISSIONER WODTKE, TO APPROVE A TENTATIVE BUDGET FOR THE SOUTH BEACH WATER MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT OF $15,000 NET. COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT APPARENTLY THEN THE IDEA FOR RAISING THE REMAINDER WOULD EITHER BE BY ASSESSMENT OR SOME SORT OF BOND PROGRAM, 15 AUG 141990 �ooK 44 PA'A35
