He had no problem going back to the 11th <br />and refunding any overage amounts on water impact fees paid after <br />that, but warned that if they were to go back further it would <br />create a problem. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously (4-0, <br />Commissioner Macht being absent) approved back- <br />dating the lowered rate to March 11th and refunding <br />the difference to those who paid their impact fees <br />between March 11th and March 18th, 1997. <br />RESOLUTION SUPPORTING FUNDING THROUGH LWCTF FOR <br />PURCHASE OF PROPERTIES WITHIN THE ARCHIE CARR REFUGE <br />Commissioner Adams requested a resolution to support funding <br />to the Land and Water Conservation Trust Fund, for federal monies <br />o.
