NOV 5198 ' Booz 45 PAGE 198 COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THE BOARD WERE TO AUTHORIZE THE BILL FOR EXTRAORDINARY SERVICES AND DEFINE IT SO THAT IT IS ON THE RECORD. JOHN ROBBINS COMMENTED THAT UNDER THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT THE PAYMENT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES WAS ON A CONSTRUCTION FEE SCHED- ULE BASIS, AND THEIR FEES WERE ESTABLISHED BY THE ORIGINAL BIDS. ON THE REDESIGN, IT WOULD BE ON A SALARY PLUS FACTOR BASIS. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT FELT THE BOARD COULD AUTHORIZE THE ENGINEERS TO PREPARE SUCH A BILL AND APPROVE THE CONCEPT. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LOY, THE THREE BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE .JOINT VENTURE TO SUBMIT A BILL FOR DESIGN SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH THE REDESIGN OF THE GIFFORD SEWERAGE PLANT AS DISCUSSED. REVISED PROPOSED PRIORITY SYSTEM FOR CONNECTION TO COUNTY WATER SYSTEM UTILITY DIRECTOR LINER INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE IS LOOKING TO HAVE THE BOARD APPROVE THE PRIORITY SYSTEM FOR CONNECTION SO THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THE REQUESTS FOR WATER SERVICE IN THE SOUTH COUNTY SYSTEM. HE CONTINUED THAT HE HAS HAD A MEETING.WITH THE ADMINISTRATOR AND ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS AND HAS TAKEN INTO CONSID- ERATION COMMENTS MADE AT THE PREVIOUS MEETING. HE FELT THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AND THAT THEY NOW HAVE A WORKING SYSTEM SET UP. ADMINISTRATOR NELSON STATED THAT HE FELT THIS PRIORITY SYSTEM IS NECESSARY BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE UNLIMITED WATER SUPPLY, AND THE UTILITY DEPARTMENT NEEDS SOME SORT OF A GUIDE TO TAKE APPLICA- TIONS. DISCUSSION THEN ENSUED ON THE CHANGES MADE FROM THE PREVIOUS PROPOSAL, AND MR. LINER COMMENTED THAT THEY NOW HAVE :SET UP CATEGORIES FOR "EXISTING" AND "PROPOSED." ATTORNEY COLLINS COMMENTED THAT HE SAW NO REASON WHY THE COUNTY COULD NOT ACCEPT APPLICATIONS AND GRANT THE RIGHT FOR SINGLE FAMILY EXISTING HOMES, WHICH ARE OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY, TO CONNECT IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT REQUIRING THEM TO WAIT THROUGH THE THREE-MONTH ADVERTISING PERIOD.
