Commissioner Bowman wished to know how many lots are involved and what this would cost GDC in a year. OMB Director Barton reported that Florida Power & Light worked out the boundaries. The cost is about $43,000 a year and that is just to pay power bills. George Kulzycki, manager of operations for GDC, explained that in their first mailing they did not include what is referred to as the "old section" which contains approximately 200 lots. That area was canvassed by hand approximately 3 years ago, but Mr. Kulzycki felt the person who did the canvassing and collected the votes was strongly opposed and influenced people accordingly. Excluding the "old section," they had a 4-1 indication in favor of the MSTU and that was excluding General Development's property. GDC indicated that they would go whichever way the majority wanted to go. They now have done another mailing, which Mr. Kulzycki believed is approximately 10-1 in favor of the street lighting district. He pointed out that the Board's Motion last year was to instruct staff to proceed with creating the MSTU for 1984. He informed the Board that when GDC had to tell the property owners that this apparently had been dropped along the way with the result that a year had been lost, it did not go over too well. Commissioner Bird asked what the cost per individual lot would be estimated if all lots were included, and Mr. Kulzycki believed it was close to $20 a year per lot. OMB Director Barton again brought up the possibility of moving forward if seed money could be raised. He informed the Board that FP&L is recommending 395 lights for the District, but he is trying to work out a way where this could be phased and just 50-100 lights could be put in this year to provide minimal coverage; possibly this could be completely funded by a contribution or loan by GDC or the county or the residents or a combination of all three. 49 SEP 5 984 BOOK 58 rmn_15
