tj p, i 9 1991 600Kf F'r'' that a judgement might be made that it would be mandatory to hook up. If a park owner doesn't live up to this commitment and we call him on it, it would force him into court and he might be forced into bankruptcy which might dissolve a lot of previous agreements. Chairman Bird understood that the agreement says that upon the resale of a unit, the prevalent impact fee at the time would then be due and payable to the County, and Attorney Vitunac confirmed that the agreement did not freeze the impact fees at the level they were at in 1985. Chairman Bird asked how we keep track of the individual home ownerships out there so that we collect the proper amounts from the mobile home park owner, and Director Pinto explained that the park owner is supposed to notify us of the resale, but they forget to tell us. The only way we have to track that is through the Tax Collector's Office, which handles transfers of vehicle titles. The Tax Collector's Office gives us a printout of the mobile home transfers on a regular basis, and if we see there are more transfers than what the park owner has accounted for, then we notify them and reconcile the number. Commissioner Scurlock noted that the County is guaranteed to get paid for at least one tenth of the units each year, not to exceed the 10 years. So the County would get paid for all of them by the tenth year. Director Pinto advised that when we first entered into this agreement and combined these two franchise areas, the park was required to pay the County impact charges for a minimum of 100 units within 18 months. There was a dispute on this because the park owner came back and said they did not have 100 empty lots, but the County's position was that we were really not concerned about how many empty lots there were, we just wanted payment of impact fees for 100 within the first 18 months. We allowed them to use the other side of Countryside, and they paid in excess of 100 in that first 18 months. Chairman Bird returned to the resale of a mobile home, and Commissioner Scurlock strongly believed the mobile home park owner would not give a lease on the lot to a new buyer until he received the impact fee. However, we still maintained that the park owner is the one that owes us; we didn't want to get involved in the relationship between the resident and the lessor.. Commissioner Scurlock personally felt the impact fee is a benefit forever to that property. The Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) runs with the land, and he believed the park owner has the benefit since those ERUs could be used if the park was sold in the future and the land was used for another purpose. 35 M
