between the County and the park owner. Let the park owner talk to the tenants about how he wants to collect the money for the impact fee. Commissioner Bird said that we can do that, but the bottom line effect could be that if we send him a bill to him for all the units tomorrow, the owner may send a bill to the residents the very next day for immediate payment of their impact fees. Director Pinto didn't believe we are placing a liability on the people from the county, but Mr. John disagreed. Attorney Vitunac stated that we absolutely are not, and asked Mr. John to read any sentence or paragraph in the agreement to that effect. Mr. John read from Item #5: " in accordance with legally enacted ordinances of Indian River County, Florida, shall be due and payable". Mr. John felt that statement makes Indian River County responsible. Commissioner Eggert pointed out that the only alternative to that is to have all the fees paid now. This agreement allows a delayed payment until most of the people who are in there now sell their units. Mr. John urged the Board to delete any language in the agreement that says the people will pay. He didn't think that we are going to resolve this today, and suggested that the Commissioners read over the agreement and note the loopholes such as the park owner getting a credit for the water/sewer that is being supplied. Director Pinto reiterated that if we were to eliminate the portion that says that this money would be collected at the transfer of the title, we would not be helping the people that are there. We would be damaging their ability to pay this at a more convenient time. Some people will live there all their lives and will never have to pay until the unit is sold or their heirs will have to pay at the time the title is transferred. Director Pinto recommended that the agreement be approved as NOV 14 `0$9 21 BOOK 10 FacE 377
