NOV 9 1983a '5 Pay 265 Mr. Fancher felt it would be much better to put those dollars in a bank account where they could earn interest. Commissioner Scurlock believed that GDU has, in fact, accepted an advance deposit when an individual insisted, and felt that this action might have established a policy. Mr. Fancher stated that Mr. Morris had just enlightened him that apparently some funds were taken not in accordance with existing established policy and they have tried to refund them, but the individual refused to take them back. This was not part of their existing policy. Commissioner Scurlock noted that under the Florida Land Sales Act, GDU's offer included the fact that they have a public water and sewer supply; they promised to provide these services and when are these people going to get them? Mr. Fancher noted that it is spelled out in the land offering statements that service will be expanded based on number of customers, feasibility, etc. He emphasized that they do their best to phase their development in an orderly manner and expand their utility service accordingly. Chairman Bird asked if Mrs. Kragon is obligated to hook up to the system when they reach her area, and Mr. Fancher confirmed that she is. Mr. Zambataro swore in Allen Reynolds of 473 22nd P1.,S.E. Mr. Reynolds, a resident of Vero Shores for four years, felt the water quality is good for everything except drinking and the service is good. Mr. Reynolds made the point that we are assuming that 1982 was a typical year, and it wasn't because it was a year of great expansion for General Development. He did not doubt GDU had a loss, but believed there is some controversy about the contributions made. He felt that Vero Shores should continue receiving water from their present system and not switch over to county water because it would increase costs. Me
