t Attorney Brennan explained the request is that the subject assessments would be for the principal amount only. To keep it consistent, if the Board votes not to require the interest, we would refund the interest to those who have paid it. Board members felt we should be consistent one way or the other, and agreed the interest should be refunded. A gentleman from the audience also had a question on the road assessment. He noted that he has been in his house about three years and over that period of time, had almost $200 of interest accrued. When he first got his property, he called up and was told he would be billed. He has already paid the interest. He was advised that the Board has indicated they will waive the interest, and it will be refunded. OMB Director Baird cautioned the Board that possibly hundreds could be involved in this,.and he did not know if the county is ready to see what their exposure is on this item. Chairman Scurlock stated that we are not taking on hundreds, just those being considered today, and Attorney Brennan confirmed it would be only those 60 who were notified. OMB Director Baird noted the gentleman who just spoke may not be among those 60, because there are a lot of people who have not paid their assessments, and he did not want them to assume that everybody is being waived. Chairman Scurlock again emphasized that we are just doing this only for those assessments that are before us today, which amount to 60, and Administrator Balczun requested that whoever made the Motion please repeat what the Chairman just said as part of the Motion because we don't want someone coming in here a year from now and saying we waived the interest generally. Commissioner Bird thought it was only due to the confusion over this 60 that we were making this exception and waiving the interest, and this was confirmed by Attorney Brennan and the Administrator, who again asked that this be included in the Motion. 19 BOOK0 -nF 43
