BOOS ° ° P4,,F 6 A PRIVATE LIGHT WOULD HAVE TO MAKE THAT KNOWN, AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT LIGHT IN ADDITION TO SHARING THE PRICE FOR ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS. A LADY POSED THE QUESTION AS TO WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SOMEONE WHO WAS PAYING FOR A PRIVATE LIGHT DID NOT FEEL THEY WANTED TO PAY FOR THE OTHER LIGHTING AND DID NOT. ATTORNEY JENNINGS NOTED THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE, ALL THE LIGHTS THAT ARE NOT IN THE PLAN ARE COMING OUT, AND IN ORDER TO GET A PARTICULAR LIGHT BACK, AN INDIVIDUAL WOULD HAVE TO ORDER IT AND PAY FOR IT. IF THAT PERSON DID NOT PAY HIS ASSESSMENT, THEN THE DISTRICT COULD LEVY ON HIS PROPERTY. ATTORNEY JENNINGS NOTED THAT THE LIGHTS TO BE INSTALLED ARE MUCH BRIGHTER SODIUM LIGHTS. PROPERTY APPRAISER NOLTE CAME BEFORE THE BOARD TO EXPLAIN HOW THEY CAME UP WITH AN AVERAGE PRICE PER ACRE. HE PRESENTED A MAP OF THE AREA NOTING THERE IS ONE DIFFERENCE IN THE DESCRIPTION PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED, THIS BEING A STRAIGHT LINE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF U.S. 1. MR. NOLTE REPORTED THAT, FIGURING A TOTAL OF 2,672 TAXABLE UNITS (ACRES OR A FRACTION THEREOF), IT WOULD WORK OUT SOMEWHERE AROUND $9.00 A YEAR PER ACRE OR FRACTION THEREOF. THE MINIMUM TAX IS NOT LESS THAN THE ONE ACRE RATE; S0, IF YOU HAVE 1/3 OF AN ACRE, YOU STILL PAY $9.00 A YEAR. TEN ACRES WOULD BE $90.00. WHATEVER DOLLARS ARE FINALLY DECIDED ON, THIS AMOUNT WILL BE DIVIDED BY THE NUMBER OF TAXABLE UNITS. COMMISSIONER WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT YOU CAN ONLY BUDGET FOR EXPENDITURE PURPOSES 95% OF THE ANTICIPATED REVENUE, AND THERE ARE OTHER COSTS THAT WILL BE INVOLVED WITH THE TAXING DISTRICT - ADVERTISEMENTS, LEGAL FEES, ETC. IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE TO BUILD UP A LITTLE CUSHION SO THAT YOU HAVE A CASH CARRY FORWARD AT THE END OF THE YEAR TO PROVIDE FUNDS TO WORK WITH UNTIL THE MONEY STARTS COMING IN FROM PEOPLE PAYING THEIR TAX BILLS. DISCUSSION CONTINUED AS TO WHAT AMOUNT SHOULD BE LEVIED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY CUSHION, ETC., AND ATTORNEY .JENNINGS
