DEC 2 BOOK 70 F,�,F 431 emphasized that the Board members do not have their minds made up; they do listen and try to be compassionate. Elizabeth Robinson, Fellsmere, believed the Commission is trying to do a good job and wished to know if this is the final meeting on the proposed ordinance. Chairman Scurlock explained that this is the final meeting to adopt the ordinance, but subsequent to that at budgettime, there will be a budgetary process that will set the future budget for all the departments, including the Landfill, and those will be advertised. Mrs. Robinson stated that she tried to live on less than $300 a month, and she wished to talk about preventive measures, which she tries to practice. She urged recycling to keep costs down, and felt everyone must employ preventive measures. Edra Young, 1151 Clearmont St., Sebastian, realized we have to have a new landfill, but her problem is why we are going to sell bonds and not bring it before the voters. Attorney Vitunac explained that is because that bond issue will not be paid by taxes and will not be paid for by the county; it will be paid for by the revenues generated. Jackie Hall, owner of a trailer park on 45th Court, wished to know who will assess her property for this tax, and Attorney Vitunac informed her that we have taken the code used by the Property Appraiser's office and used a factor to establish ERUs. Ms. Hall wished to know who specifically will call on her place as she did not want strangers on her property. She was advised to contact Mr. Pinto of the Utility Department. Mr. Moody wished to know what the special assessment is or will it just be pulled out of the sky? Director Pinto reported that the evaluation is being done now. This ordinance just creates the authority, and the budget will set what the fees are. There will be a new budget for the Landfill every year and a public hearing on it. 50
