In discussion, Attorney Vitunac believed we do have that <br />ability, and possibly it is a good idea for an ordinance. <br />Debate continued regarding the plugging of these wells, and <br />Commissioner Scurlock noted that his concern is not the well which <br />has a use, but his problem is that you have many of these wells <br />that have rusted out below and there is no valve on it to shut it <br />off; so it just continues to seep and pollute the ground water <br />supply. He felt that property owners should be responsible to <br />repair the well so it functions property as it was intended to. <br />Commissioner Bowman felt if St. Johns is going to subcontract <br />this, we might just as well pass a county ordinance and sub- <br />contract it ourselves. <br />Director Keating pointed out that St. Johns is assuming all <br />the administrative costs that are involved plus half the cost, and <br />further noted that what is being discussed today is just general <br />authorization to give them an indication of whether we will <br />participate - all the details would be ironed out later. <br />Commissioner Bird wished to have figures on how many wells <br />have been plugged under the present system where the land owners <br />have paid half the tab because if that system is working well in <br />our county, he did not see the need for us to pay $30,000. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commis- <br />sioner Bowman, the Board unanimously tabled the above item. <br />F.
