<br />Bob Johnson <br />, Coral Wind Subdivision, stated there has been ample time for the <br />developers to make their changes and it seems Attorney Collins is letting this developer off the <br />hook. <br /> <br />Doug Engle <br />, developer of The Lakes at Sandridge, gave a history of his business <br />and stated developers are not able to get bonds because they do not physically do the work. He <br />stressed the contractor that does the work is the person who can get the bond. He asserted that <br />the language change will help him quite a bit but there is a provision that states at the end of the <br />three years, the County may release the bond and he does not think any bonding agency will go <br />along with that. <br /> <br />Pam Tory <br />, Kenwood Village, stated the Board should not lessen its bonding <br />requirements. <br /> <br />Chuck Mechling <br />, 1999 Pointe West Drive, a developer, is in agreement that <br />should be a maintenance bond but he is not able to get one. He asked that the contractor who <br />performed the work post the maintenance bond. He commented that in the agreement there is no <br />list of standards of what is required of the contractor throughout the three-year period and the <br />Utilities Department accepts maintenance bonds from contractors who perform the work in <br />developments. <br /> <br />Joseph Paladin <br />, President of the Growth Awareness Committee, stressed the <br />problem is with the maintenance bond. He explained that by having the contractor take out the <br />bond if he/she does not finish the obligation and the bond is pulled he/she would be out of <br />business. Mr. Paladin commented that the three-year warranty period should also be addressed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Davis stated that he supports the three-year time period for the <br />protection of the people who live in the developments. <br /> <br />September 6, 2005 18 <br /> <br />
