r- NoV3 <br />B 1 �)K 51 �`..; <br />. z.: <br />Commissioner Fletcher discussed the cost of the <br />proposed study, which is estimated between $15,000 and <br />$25,000, and asked Utilities Director Pinto whether our <br />Utilities Department is in a position to generate such a <br />rate study in-house at this time, or if not at this time, in <br />the future. <br />Mr. Pinto stated that they could not generate such a <br />study.at' this time; but he believed that once an accepted <br />methodology is set in place, his department then would be <br />able to generate any future rate studies. <br />Commissioner Fletcher continued to argue the need for <br />hiring consultants, noting that he is in favor of paying <br />money for top quality people to run any department in the <br />county, but he did not like to go out and hire additional <br />experts to do studies to justify a position or lack of a <br />position. <br />Administrator Wright stated that he also is not prone <br />.to hire consultants, but believed that in this case they are <br />needed. -..He noted that while Mr. Pinto has a dozen years of <br />experience in -the utility field and he himself has half <br />that, the proposed consultants have dealt with some things <br />to which he and Mr. Pinto never have been exposed; he, <br />therefore, felt it would be beneficial to bring in someone <br />who has this broad knowledge. <br />FLOATING BOAT DOCK - BLUE CYPRESS LAKE <br />The Board reviewed memo of Engineer Technician Don <br />Finney: <br />Mo <br />1 <br />
