Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes-Final March 14, 2017 County Attorney Dylan Reingold stressed that it was the residents from various sections of Collier Creek who came to the Utilities Department with the necessary support for a petition water project. John Johnston, 747 South Easy Street, spoke in support of the project, and hoped that every resident would eventually receive County water. Dorothy Dempsey, 105 Arega Street, and Barbara Paul, 109 Arega Street, expressed their dismay and concern that their area had not been included in the petition water project, since they had submitted a petition requesting water service in the past. A lengthy discussion ensued as Commissioners and staff stressed that the petition boundaries were established because of staff getting consensus from a minimum of 66 2/3%of residents in the designated areas. Ms. Dempsey and Ms. Paul were reminded that they would also need to have a minimum of 66 2/3%residents in their area, and they were advised to submit a new petition. Director Burke stated that staff would take a look at the areas outside of the proposed Project,where people would like to have the County water. Capital Projects Manager Arjuna Werogoda interjected that the permitting will be valid for five years; thus, a possible change order could be done with the current contractor should additional areas be added to the water assessment project. Walter Gill, 742 South Easy Street, suggested that Ms. Dempsey and Ms. Paul try to get the 66 2/3%consensus by requesting support from residents on nearby Harbor Point Drive. Gary Johnson, 738 Holden Avenue,thanked staff for all of their hard work on this project. A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan,seconded by Chairman Flescher, to approve Resolution 2017-028,confirming the special assessments in connection with a water main extension from 699 S.
