future order. The next important item in this is that it resolves the issue of building the future plant by saying, "in the event that under efficient and economical management,. it becomes necessary for them to relocate that plant and build a new one," then they can, and apply for a new tariff based on the financing necessary at that time. The County will review it, and, under standard rate -making practices, approve a tariff that will include those necessary costs. The key word there is "necessary". In other words, if it is shown that it is much more economically sound and feasible to have an alternate treatment scheme imposed, as opposed to building a new plant, then the County Commission would take a close look at whether or not that operation is being run economically and efficiently when that new tariff came in. Commissioner Bird asked if we have received any input from the Moorings Property Owners Association as to whether or not they accept the development order. Attorney Brandenburg stated that his discussions with Attorney Samuel White and Attorney Eben Cockley have indicated that their group is satisfied with the Final Order with the exception of the rewording of paragraph 7 so that it does not imply that Hutchinson Utilities, automatically and under all conditions, is going to build a new plant and that the Board will approve a tariff allowing for whatever financing that is involved there. When asked by Attorney Brandenburg if the above was correct, Attorney Cockley wanted to be sure that everybody understands that they are not waiving any right to an appeal from the decision of this Board. Their primary criticism of the order itself is in respect to paragraph 7 and they appreciate the modification of that paragraph. Chairman Scurlock thanked Attorney Cockley. 65 p MAY 2 1984 BOOK 56 PAGE 861
