Discussion continued as to a source for the $37,000. and Engineer Robbins noted that the County accrued around $25,000 of investment income on= -the tax anticipation note for the test well for the South County. In addition, there is a report that there are some excess funds in the Gifford system. Mr. Robbins then discussed impact fees in the General Utility Fund, and Utility Director Liner reported that all the monies from impact fees are in a special account, and it is intended for capital expansion. Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that if we took money from the impact fee account and actually purchased this sewer plant into that account, the account then would have an asset of a used plant rather than cash, and eventually whatever.enterprise system we put the plant into would have to repay the account. It was generally agreed that would be the way to go. Chairman Lyons asked how we get the $37,000 right now, and Engineer Robbins stated they have money in the escrow account.
