MR. ROBBINS REPORTED THAT WE HAVE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS SOUTH OF LINDSEY ROAD, AND HIS RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO EXTEND A LINE LARGE ENOUGH FOR A FIRE HYDRANT AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE PROPERTY. HE DID NOT THINK THERE ARE EXISTING WATER METERS ON THE MOBILE HOMES; THEREFORE, HE WOULD RECOMMEND A MASTER METER AT THE PROPERTY ENTRANCE SO MR, HARDEE COULD CONTINUE TO CHARGE HIS CUSTOMERS AS HE DOES NOW AND THE COUNTY COULD CHARGE ONE PERSON. COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED THAT IF THE CHARGE IS PART OF THE RENT, THAT IS ONE MATTER, BUT IF MR. HARDEE CHARGES FOR WATER, THAT IS A DIFFERENT SITUATION. ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT IT DEPENDS ON WHETHER IT IS AN EXIST- ING USE, BUT FELT WE PROBABLY WILL HAVE TO ISSUE A FRANCHISE TO BE CONSISTENT. HE COMMENTED THAT THE BOARD WOULD BE AUTHORIZING HIM AND ENGINEER ROBBINS TO MOVE AHEAD AND NEGOTIATE FOR PURCHASE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WILL DISCONNECT THE WATER. HE ASKED IF WE ARE FIGURING TO PROVIDE THE SEWER SERVICE FOR MR. HARDEE OR WHETHER HE WILL CONTINUE WITH HIS OWN SYSTEM. ENGINEER ROBBINS BELIEVED THAT THE DER WILL BE LOOKING FOR US TO TAKE THAT PLANT OUT OF SERVICE, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT, IN THAT EVENT, WE WILL BE NEGOTIATING WITH TAP -ON FEES, ETC, ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE ATTORNEY TO PROCEED WITH NEGOTIATIONS TO PURCHASE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM WELLFORD HARDEE FOR A SITE FOR THE GIFFORD SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT; AUTHORIZED A SURVEY AND AN APPRAISAL OF SAID PROPERTY; AND INSTRUCTED THAT THE ADJACENT LAND OWNERS BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE CONTRACT IS EXECUTED. ENGINEER ROBBINS STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE AUTHORIZATION TO INFORM THE DER OF OUR PROGRAM, AND THE BOARD FELT HE ALREADY WAS AUTHORIZED TO DO S0, MR. ROBBINS THEN DISCUSSED OBTAINING AN EASEMENT OR DEDI- CATED RIGHT-OF-WAY SO COUNTY CREWS WOULD HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE PLANT, AND COMMISSIONER LYONS BELIEVED THE LAYOUT IS SUCH THAT THIS WOULD PRESENT NO PROBLEM. MR, ROBBINS ASKED IF HE SHOULD PROCEED TO START SITE PLAN LAYOUTS OR WAIT FOR A LETTER OF INTENT, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS DID NOT FEEL HE SHOULD PROCEED BEFORE WE HAVE THE CONTRACT SIGNED.
