COMMISSIONER WODTKE SUGGESTED ADDING THE STIPULATION THAT IF THE CULVERTS ARE USABLE AND THE COUNTY NEEDS THEM, WE CAN GET THEM BACK. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON COMMENTED THAT THERE IS REALLY NO NEED FOR THEM IN OUR SYSTEM. COMMISSIONER WODTKE THEN WITHDREW HIS SECOND. COMMISSIONER DEESON THEN SECONDED THE MOTION. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND PASSED. DISCUSSION RE LOCATION OF GIFFORD SEWER PLANT JOHN ROBBINS, ENGINEER WITH THE JOINT VENTURE, APPROACHED THE BOARD TO GIVE A STATUS REPORT ON HIS EFFORTS IN FINDING A HOME FOR THE GIFFORD SEWER PLANT. HE THEN ADVISED THAT THE SOIL BORINGS SHOULD BE COMPLETED TODAY OF THE WELLFORD HARDEE LAND - IT IS FINE BROWN SAND WITH A LITTLE BIT OF CLAY. MR. ROBBINS CONTINUED THAT THEY RAN EIGHT SOIL BORINGS OF 25' OVER 12 ACRES AT THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE PROPERTY; PRELIMINARY FINDINGS INDICATE THAT THEY COULD GO WITH PERCOLATION PONDS. HE STATED THAT HE TALKED WITH THE SOILS PEOPLE ABOUT THEIR FIRST PERMEABILITY TEST, WHICH WAS A GOOD ONE; AND THEY ARE PLANNING TO DO FOUR MORE AND WILL HAVE THOSE RESULTS LATER. MR. ROBBINS THOUGHT THIS PROPERTY LOOKED LIKE A VERY GOOD SITE. HE STATED THAT HE TALKED TO WELLFORD HARDEE, WHO SAID HE WOULD BE AMENABLE TO A DISCUSSION OF TERMS WITH THE COUNTY. MR. ROBBINS THEN RECOMMENDED THAT MR. HARDEE'S WELL BE ABANDONED AND THAT THE COUNTY REQUEST THAT HE CONNECT TO THE GIFFORD WATER SYSTEM; ALSO THE IMPACT FEES THAT UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINER SHOWED HIM, MAKES THIS RECOMMENDATION ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE. HE CONCLUDED BY ADVISING THAT HE SHOULD HAVE A FULL BLOWN REPORT AT THE NEXT MEETING WHICH WILL INCLUDE THE ACREAGE REQUIREMENTS AND DESIGN FOR THE PERCOLATION PONDS. ATTORNEY COLLINS ADVISED THAT THERE HAS BEEN SOME DISCUSSION OF THE PURCHASE PRICE, AND THE ABILITY TO COMBINE THE TAPPING IN OF THE WATER IS A FACTOR THAT WOULD AFFECT THE PURCHASE PRICE. 19 AUG 2'719 0 Boos 4 F°AG- 366
