The <br />bills are sent to the individuals because that is what the owner of <br />the park directed the Utilities Department to do. If the owner <br />says, "Send the bills there," we have to send the bills there. <br />Director Pinto advised that State law holds a tenant responsible <br />for utility bills. However, we have taken the position of <br />obligating the landowners for payment of the utility bill, so we <br />send the bill where he tells us to send it. <br />Commissioner Macht asked for an interpretation of the law in <br />that regard. <br />Attorney Vitunac advised that Director Pinto is correct, and <br />to do otherwise is to place the County in the position of deciding <br />who pays the bill. <br />Glen Baldwin, resident of Countryside, suggested that the <br />landowners name ought to be on the bill. <br />Carl H. Gales, resident of Heritage Village, described himself <br />as a minister of the gospel. He stated that the park owner is <br />taking advantage of the residents. <br />There being no further business to come before the Board, <br />the meeting adjourned at 11:30, ;P.M. <br />ATTEST: <br />J. arton, Clerk <br />12 <br />/C, <br />Carol y K.
