asked Mr. Asher who in the world would put that kind of money into a non interest bearing account. However, the Association knows that all the monies collected were put into an interest bearing account. Mr. Nelson next raised the question of the interest the County was to have paid the developer from that money as of September 30th of each year. Apparently that was never done according to the financial reports that they have seen. The developer also agreed to pay impact fees according to an escalation of charges as provided by Ordinance 80-21. The developer further agreed to pay $500 per month into a maintenance account up to a sum of $30,000. In order to have paid the full $30,000, Florida -Atlantic would have had to own that park for 60 months. They owned it for 57 months, and should have paid $28,500 into that account. Had someone collected what was due the County, they would have had $28,500. Why didn't they pay that, and if they did, where is the account that shows it? They cannot find anything in the Finance Department here in the County. The are also concerned about the records showing the collection of the R&R funds. He pointed out that the Resolution states that the cost of the meter at such time as the County provides water service to the franchise area may be taken out of this fund. Therefore, that money should be in there in case a meter was ever installed. Resolution 80-88 states that the developer was requiredto pay a permit fee of $12,960 at the time the franchise was approved. Where is the accounting of this $12,960? The Association has many questions such as this one that County staff is currently researching and hasn't had time to answer. He wished to ,commend Mr. Asher, who has been very helpful. Mr. Nelson stressed that the first impact fees should have been paid in August, 1980, when the first mobile home unit was erected for Mr. E Mrs. Forest, who are in attendance today. Why was payment of that impact fee not paid until April 29, 1985, five years later? Why was it paid just shortly before Florida - Atlantic sold the park to Realcor? The County didn't receive the first check from Florida -Atlantic until November 16, 1983, and that was on unit 263. Why wasn't the County getting this money? Evidentally, it seems that all ordinances and resolutions were signed, shoved in a drawer, and never taken out and looked at again. Commissioner Scurlock felt the reason for that is that we went through three county administrators as well as a utility director, and there was a lot of controversy during that time. 40 BOOK f'A�E
