Director Pinto agreed it is a very complicated matter. He then displayed the assessment roll, noting that it is a large volume and because it took a long time to put it together, it had changes practically daily because of the changes in ownership of property. After the roll is presented today, the assessment will be recorded against the property, but we will have a continuing effort to keep up with the changes in ownership. Commissioner Eggert inquired as to the best "guesstimate" for the first phase to be up in Sebastian, and Director Pinto hoped to see the system built and on line within 18 months. In discussion re future expansion of utilities, Director Pinto advised that there is also a tremendous interest in having a regional water plant in this same area. Commissioner Scurlock reported that we are at about 12,000 customers and anticipate that doubling within the next 4 years. Director Pinto further reported that the site for this plant is in Hobart, and the effluent has been permitted for reuse on the county golf course. Commissioner Scurlock advised that we are going to all golf courses in the county about effluent disposal and have been talking to John's Island about their raw water line. Director Pinto stressed that anyone who gets a well permit now for irrigation has to agree that when effluent water is available, they will use it. The big problem is the south county where there are no golf courses. Chairman Wheeler asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Eric Pollard, 6153 98th Place, Sebastian, noted he reserved an ERU in 1987 and was told at that time that it would lock in an impact fee of $1,250 and that it was permissible to pay it in cash. Now, it seems there is talk about an assessment of $1,350 payable over 10 years. Director Pinto explained that if you intend to be assessed over the 10 year period, the cost of issuance is added, which bring it up to $1,350. If you pay in cash, you pay $1,250. 15 BOOK /6 FAEE 1 7 e5 FEB 2 I 1989 J
