DEC 15 1987 Bou 70 FFA1, 3 39 Commissioner Eggert understood that Mr. Smith was not willing to accept the $7000 amount and wants something different, and Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that Mr. Smith was not really in agreement with the first proposal, as he felt he also should be compensated for the asphalt materials that were on top of the base that he had to remove and replace. After consideration, staff feels that would be fair and is recommending that $7000 be paid from the Road S Bridge maintenance account to mitigate the cost of the asphalt material. Basically, the total compensation amounts to $14,000. Mr. Smith has indicated that it cost him approximately $27,000 overall to fix the road, and this would compensate him for the cost of the materials. Commissioner Eggert asked Director Davis why he changed his mind after he originally felt that the $7,000 figure was fair, and Director Davis stated that basically it was after further discussion and pointed out that timing was an issue. Chairman Scurlock felt that we need to give Director Davis some direction in finding a vehicle to fund the impact of trucking and land operations on our roads without creating some special situations for certain haulers that do not apply to others. Commissioner Eggert pointed out that at a recent workshop, Planning Director Robert Keating and Director Davis came to the conclusion that a separate ordinance is needed to cover all heavy haulers rather than just the sand haulers. Chairman Scurlock believed that the only equitable way to handle a shortfall is to go to the other cent (9th cent) that we have not utilized, because that directly relates to people using the highways. He did not think it was fair to single out one particular entity. Commissioner Eggert felt there should be some way or some formula that could be set at site time for fill being delivered to such extensive projects as Grand Harbor. 4
