MAY 21984 aooK 56 PAGE 90 <br />The Chairman asked if anyone else from the audience <br />wished to be heard. There were none. <br />Attorney Henderson wished to respond to a couple of Mr. <br />Pollard's statements and assured him that these statements <br />will be scrutinized and examined closely. Attorney <br />Henderson noted that Mr. Pollard specifically mentioned the <br />concept of used and useful, and Attorney Henderson pointed <br />out that the figure that shows up is not just simply a <br />matter of taking unconnected lots and multiplying by the <br />connection fee; a different computation is used. <br />Attorney Henderson wished to remind the County <br />Commission that his client inherited this sewer and water <br />system, and a lot of these problems have carried over from <br />the previous owner. He believed Mr. Wilson has done what he <br />can to improve it, and it is his opinion that the rates were <br />low in the first place. Attorney Henderson assured those <br />present that they do recognize this is a substantial <br />increase; and after they have a chance to conform, it will <br />be lower; however, it still will be significantly higher <br />than what the people are used to, and it has to be to <br />provide a fair and reasonable rate of return. <br />Attorney Henderson wished to submit into the record a <br />letter from Glenn Schuessler of the Department of Health <br />written in January, which indicated that no complaints have <br />been filed with the Health Department regarding the water <br />quality. He assured those present that the owner is very <br />willing to look into any quality problems that might arise. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />(4-0) closed the public hearing. <br />The,Chairman complimented the audience on their <br />behavior and on the way the presentation was organized. <br />119 <br />
