as he believed it is cost efficient over a period of time, he would like to table this for a week and have the neighbors talk again and come up with a specific number of those for and against. Residents stressed that the Board has a petition stating that 9 are against the project, which is a majority. Joseph Murphy, 916 47th Avenue, informed the Board that initially they went to the meeting in March and then the vote was 11 to 4 against and they agreed to table and take a survey of the area. Mr. Pearce surveyed 56 people, 25 responded and 9 were for the water, but Mr. Murphy believed the survey went outside Glendale Lakes and all the way to -12th Street. They had another meeting and another vote of 8 to 5 against the water. Mr. Murphy stated that he would like to resolve this, and he would certainly go along with the Chairman's recommendation that the county -first take the water to the many people who want it, and then if five years from now it turns out that the Glendale residents have made a mistake and it costs them $7,000 to get the water, so be it. Commissioner Bird asked if we have a clear cut petition policy on water; 1.e, do we require 66% be in favor or do we just look for a simple majority. Utilities Director Pinto advised that we have done it based on a simple majority, and we have done some where there was not a majority. Commissioner Bird noted that if we were going to do it, he would prefer to do all Glendale Lakes; however, it appears that at this time a majority are not in favor of it, and although he personally feels they are making a mistake, it is their decision and he -does -not want to force this on them. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, that we not proceed with.the water system improvements for 47th Avenue and 9th Place, Glendale Lakes Estates, at this time. 47 Boor 73 �a E 187
