Home Park was hooked up with General Development Utilities, <br />and if that is so, he felt GDU should disconnect them and <br />give the residents the service that was promised. <br />Mr. Fancher pointed out that Midway Mobile Home Park is <br />located within the utility franchise area; they came to GDU <br />and requested service; and GDU provided it. He continued <br />that Midway Mobile -Home Park is treated the same as all <br />others and charged the same rates. He further noted that <br />GDU is a public utility and pravides service to the general <br />public, not just General Development homes. <br />Mr. Cositore wished to know how long his deposit will <br />be kept and whether he gets interest on it. <br />Mr. Fancher stated that while GDU maintains the <br />deposit, interest will be paid, and upon certain criteria <br />being met, the deposit would be refunded. <br />Mr. Zambataro swore in Ted Byram of 940 25th St., S.W. <br />Mr. Byram stated that he has been a resident two years, and <br />he was "sweet-talked" to come down here by claims of low <br />taxes, etc., and now they want to "sock it to us." He asked <br />if it is possible the County could take over and supply the <br />people with water and GDU could just supply the sewerage. <br />It was pointed out to Mr. Byram that the current county <br />rate is substantially the same as the rate GDU is <br />requesting. The County operates basically the same as <br />private companies. We do not subsidize these systems; they <br />must be self-sustaining; and we are impacted by the same <br />costs as private companies. In addition, it was noted that <br />this franchise still has about 17 years to run, and we <br />cannot just come in and take it over. We have acquired some <br />systems, but they have not been given to us and it has been <br />very expensive. GDU is not willing to give the system to us <br />at no cost. <br />Chairman Bird felt if we can work out an agreement to <br />provide GDU with water from our plant at Oslo, this would be <br />27 <br />NOV 9 1983 g 5,5 2 <br />L <br />
