be readdressed and suggested that Nancy Offutt, Liaison for the Board of Realtors and Chamber of Commerce, ask those groups to do, an analysis on these issues. Mrs. Offutt agreed that would be a good idea. Mr. Franks wished to get back to the Lodge's problem and emphasized that the members just do not want to pay for a sidewalk before it is built. Donald Weimann, Administrator of the Moose Lodge, did not feel that the members would have a problem with putting in a sidewalk if it would help the safety of the people, but they are objecting to escrowing $3,500 so far ahead of time. He listed some of the many contributions the Moose Lodge has made to the community and stressed that if they were required to escrow the - $3500, they probably would have to cut back on their contributions. Commissioner Lyons appreciated what the Moose have done, but pointed out that the question today is what can we do under the present requirements. There was some question about whether the Moose would receive interest in the event the sidewalk is not built after 7 years and their money is returned. Jeff Barton of Utilities advised that interest is paid only if it is made a part of the conditions of the contract and is paid at whatever the passbook rate is at the time the contract is made. Attorney Vitunac suggested that if the Moose could build the sidewalk themselves, they may save some money. All the Commissioners expressed reluctance to requiring the Moose to escrow money for the sidewalk, but believed there was nothing they could do but follow the ordinance and direct staff to address this problem. Chairman Scurlock asked if the Lodge could withdraw their site plan application and bring it back after staff has brought back a recommendation on a change in the minor site plan process. 36 MAR 19 1986 Boas 63 PnUE 921
