He explained that there was nothing in the Code that allowed for <br />a reduction of ERUs; however, with the assistance of the County Attorney's <br />Office, an Ordinance change was crafted. <br />Commissioner Solari inquired as to how unused ERUs would be handled, as he <br />did not feel that the Utility Department should profit. He suggested the <br />possibility of a 3rd party purchasing the unused ERUs from the original <br />purchaser, while Commissioner Zorc introduced the idea of donating unused <br />ERUs to non-profit organizations. Chairman Flescher felt that the larger issue <br />was the unused ERU's originally purchased by land owners who had invested in <br />future development, and should be revisited at a future meeting. <br />Amy Richardson, along with an additional resident of Provence Bay, felt that . <br />they had overpaid for water and sewage. Mr. Burke explained that when the <br />land was purchased by the original developer for multi -family units, there were <br />two (2) ERUs assigned to each of their properties. Ms. Richardson confirmed; <br />when questioned by Commissioner Solari, that she would be satisfied if she <br />would no longer be charged for the unused ERU. <br />A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner <br />Adams, to approve staffs recommendation.
