JUN 15 1983 P,1GF� ON POTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unani- mously closed the public hearing. Discussion followed regarding the impact that would be felt by the individual customer at the time the County took over. It was noted that at such time, we would phase out their plant but connect their distribution lines to the County system, and an impact fee equal to whatever is being charged in the county at that time would have to be borne by the individual resident. It was generally agreed that it is important that this is clearly stated in the record. Mr. Pinto noted that the franchise has some language that the company has to pay that connection fee. Attorney Brandenburg explained that the way the franchise works is that each time a certificate of occupancy is issued at this project, the then current impact fee is escrowed. That money remains in that escrow account under the terms of the franchise; should the county within a 7 year period run a line out there and provide its own system, the county then gets all the money that has been escrowed. Every C.O. that has not been issued at that point, there has been no impact fees escrowed for, and they would have to pay the normal connection and capacity charges current at the time they hook into the county system; later on down the line, the impact fee may be substantially higher than it is now, but the people already on the system will not have to pay the higher amount that the new people in subsequent phases will. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board adopted Resolution 83-44 Tamara Gardens Water Franchise. 91
