Director Pinto asked who the County would take legal action against if we don't get the money for the impact fees at the sale of a unit, and Attorney Vitunac advised that we will sue the park owner. Commissioner Bird wished to know how long a time after the signing of this agreement the park owner has to reach an agreement with the County as to whether or not the impact fees on the vacant sites and the RV sites will be paid in a lump sum or over a period of time. Director Pinto advised that it all must be be resolved prior to connection to the system, which we are building now, and Commissioner Bird stressed that at some point we would want to have an assurance that the money is going to be forthcoming before we go out and spend money to connect them to the system. Mr. Negley wished to point out a few more things on the part of the owners. First, we are tending to refer to water here, but we really are talking sewage. We are talking about water meters being installed for the purpose of metering the volume of sewage used by the mobile home residents, who would then be billed individually by the County for the sewage that they use, and then through the master meter, the park would pay the balance, which would cover the RVs, the laundries, the showers, and the clubhouses. Some of the residents have indicated to him that they believe those charges are going to be passed back to them, but that is not correct. Like Mr. Pinto said, if it is a million gallons a month, and if the mobile homes use 500 gallons.a month, the residents will pay for 500 gallons and the park owners will pay for the other 500 gallons. Chairman Wheeler felt sure that the landlord will find a way to pass that back, and ultimately the residents would pay it. That is business, though. The landlord just isn't going to pay it; he is in business for a profit. NOV 14 '[98 25 BOOK
