APR 4 1984 <br />BOOK 56 PAGE6,35; <br />The Chairman determined that no one further wished to <br />be heard. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />(4-0) closed the public hearing. <br />The Chairman announced that Attorney Brandenburg has <br />two changes to make in the wording of the proposed <br />ordinance. <br />Attorney Brandenburg referred to Page 6, under Rates & <br />Charges, Section 7, A. Base Facilities Charge, and stated <br />that he wished to add some language in the middle of that <br />paragraph, as follows: " For developments which have entered <br />into an agreement with the County for the constructing of <br />the necessary lines to connect the project to the County <br />system, the fee shall commence upon certification by the <br />appropriate governmental authority that the line is ready <br />for use. For all other reservations, the fees shall com- <br />mence at the time of reservation." In other words, a person <br />reserving capacity would pay the base facilities charge <br />unless he entered into an agreement with the County for the <br />construction of a line to get out to his area, and the <br />reason for this is to encourage individuals to come to the <br />county as the developers have done on S.R. 60. Second, if <br />he is reserving capacity, then it will be his responsibility <br />to connect to the county system. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if we are really justified in <br />collecting the base facilities charge before we actually <br />- have a line available. <br />In the following discussion, it was noted that all <br />those who have made reservations are well aware that this <br />policy is retroactive to all who have made reservations; <br />also, they can cancel their reservations if they so desire. <br />20 <br />
