OCT 15 Mcil 6"A "stationing" as found on page 10, paragraph B(1). Director Davis explained that "stationing" is an engineering term for a 100 -foot interval and is used as a reference for indicating a particular location. It is a term that engineers and surveyors use frequently. Community Development Director Keating emphasized we are approaching the citation ordinance very carefully because, if a respondent contests a citation, it would be in a court situation and we want tight rules and. internal procedures. Once we go through the long and cumbersome process of getting an order against someone, if there is a subsequent violation, then that person can automatically be fined.

Commissioner Wheeler wanted to see the process move along and have the ordinance become effective rapidly.

Fred Mensing from Roseland came before the Board and questioned the $10,000 bond requirement for truck traffic when the State already issues permits.

Mr. Mensing stated that a driver coming down from somewhere like Georgia has a permit to get to I-95 and CR512; the County is going to have to put into place some mechanism to, in a timely fashion, get a permit for that driver. Chairman Bird assured Mr. Mensing that we will work out the mechanics to expedite the process. Mr. Mensing's next question concerned prohibited activities and directed the Board's attention to paragraph 1(e) on page 6, which reads, "provide for the direct connection of any fluid discharge from a swimming pool," and 1(j) on page 7 which reads, "install any water well or septic system within the County right - 34
