particular site which would be no cost to the County; it would also eliminate the problem of the cemetery using the facility; and you would not have to run lines for wellfields across the golf course because they could run down the property Line. Attorney Vitunac explained the reason we are trying to get the cemetery back is because the land is restricted by a clause that it has to be used for P&R purposes. He noted that he wrote a legal opinion that we could use the park property for a loca- tion for the wastewater plant because the effluent was used on the golf course, but there is also an opinion by him that the water plant has no special use for the park more than for any other land. Commissioner Scurlock felt possibly we could proceed with the state to release it for public purposes as opposed to a private cemetery, and Attorney Vitunac agreed that approach could be tried. Utilities Director Pinto noted that staff looked at various properties and came up with the 3 alternatives, one of which is the piece that was in the original master plan. There are some inherent problems with that piece; it is not so much running the line out along the property line as running it to where you end up placing the wells, and another fairly major concern is that the brine discharge has to be sent to an area that will be permittable, and with this piece, it is more difficult to get to that area. Commissioner Scurlock noted that we paid a lot of money for the master plan and wished to know why Boyle thought it would be a good site when they outlined it in the plan. Director Pinto explained that the master plan chose the general area; staff looked at available pieces; and at the time, that was an available piece of ground. He stressed that they have looked at 3 sites intensely and have looked at the overall area. 79 c -a BOOK
