SEP 4 1985 BOOK 1 m,E 964 For our crews to do the amount of work required to keep these culverts open would be very expensive. Vice Chairman Scurlock believed there has been a lot of miscommunication, but stated personally his first priority would be to keep his feet dry and his next priority would be to consider the roads. He emphasized that no matter what the present residents want, there will be more and more people moving into this area, and the roads eventually will become impassable. The Vice Chairman felt that Attorney Clem made a valid point about the impact fee which is to be recommended by consultants Barton-Aschmann this month. Certain monies will be generated from the new homes built, and he believed it would be inappro- priate to charge everyone unless we got a strong indication from the community that they wanted to move ahead in this direction. Commissioner Bird discussed the possibility of modifying the assessment to $10, which would generate about $40,000 and earmarking that for a drainage study to be commenced as soon as we get the results of the federal study, and Director Davis felt that would be a good idea; it wouldn't pay for the whole plan, e but it would get us started. -Vice Chairman Scurlock had a slightly different idea. Since the Public Works staff is stressed to a point where they cannot properly maintain all the roads in the county, he favored the idea of committing some of the funds for additional crew to go out to Vero Lake Estates and work on drainage. Commissioner Wodtke stressed his feeling that tonight's input indicates that we need to be able to fund the dollars needed to do a complete master plan for both drainage and roads, and he noted that $20 per parcel/acre would generate around $76,000 to be used for this purpose. The -Vice Chairman again expressed his preference to see some money earmarked for the study and some committed to cleaning up now to free up the flow of water. 12 M M M 0
