to the County at the time of settlement. There was a question on whether that should be continued in the impact fund for the general, county -wide utility system or oriented to the park, and what we have recommended here is to orient it towards the park. Chairman Eggert recalled that was what the Board said when they voted on this some time ago. Commissioner Bird said that all he was trying to do is make sure the Administrator had some clear direction as to whether the R&R would apply, but Administrator Chandler interjected that he did not think it should be applied. Mr. Nelson asked if the $28,500 could be addressed at a later date since the water plant will remain in operation and those R&R funds were for both water and sewer. Utilities Director Terry Pinto explained that to be consistent with all the other franchises, the R&R fund always reverts to the County's R&R -funds at which point the money is used for renewal and replacement throughout the system. Commissioner Scurlock felt the point Mr. Nelson is trying to make is that if they have some deficiency and have to renew something and replace something, they have $28,500 in an account to do that. Director Pinto further explained that the R&R fund hasn't anything to do with the existing water plant under the franchise they are operating under. That stays. They have R&R requirements to take care of that, maintain it and operate it. The R&R fund that we are talking about here simply goes into the County just as everyone pays into a R&R fund. Mr. Nelson maintained that the money was paid into R&R for both water and sewer. Commissioner Scurlock wished to clarify that his Motion was to authorize the agreement to be signed subject to auditing the $142,967 and the $6,900 and subject to the understanding that this does not go back to the developer. If another motion is needed to authorize the County Administrator to go ahead and investigate with Mr. Nelson the monies that were placed in escrow for R&R in a combined account, he would make another motion. Administrator Chandler stated that was all spelled out last spring, but quite frankly he just didn't recall that aspect. He knew there were different elements that were to be tracked, and those were tracked all the way through and the dollars are there. Commissioner Scurlock felt the fair thing to do is investigate the $28,500. They may not have segregated water and sewer, but it would be reasonable to think that monies were put into there to make necessary repairs. If we are only taking over half of the 43 A W � 1J BOOK F
