N 0 V 25 1981 800K 48 FACT 200 Administrator Nelson stated that he would like to add an additional recommendation that interim financing be authorized until funds are collected. Discussion followed regarding funding, and it was noted that the estimated project cost of $242,000 does not include the cost of moving the plant. Question arose as to whether the donated plant would be purchased from the Gifford Utilities Enterprise fund, whether the value of the donated plant would be in the vicinity of $60,000, what the cost involved in moving it would amount to, and what the cost of buying a new plant would be. Engineer Guy Sullivan felt the cost of such a plant on the open market would be from $150,000 to $200,000 installed and informed the Board that it cost about $11,000 to move the plant, which was not in the ground at the time, from Castaway Cove to Kings Highway. Utility Director Liner reported that there is money in the Utilities budget for moving that plant. Commissioner Wodtke wished to know if we have spent all the money we were allocated from FHmA. He pointed out that we put a sewer plant in Gifford that didn't cost us anything ' except moving costs, and he believed we should set some type of value on that plant and release those funds to be utilized in the Pebble Bay area, i.e., since the -Gifford system in reality did not pay for that plant, we could use these funds and reimburse the General Fund, which would give us a plant we could eventually use somewhere else in the County, possibly at Blue Cypress Lake. Attorney Collins believed the loan funds are all expended for budgeted expenses, but felt there are still surplus grant funds over and beyond the budgeted expense. Discussion ensued about the high impact cost which results from the small base, and it was Questioned whether four units were sufficient to assign for the park restrooms. A _ M M
