at the appropriate time. Ms. Renzi thanked Commissioner Adams for her comments, but stated that she was shocked to hear of the deadline and possible liens on properties; it was pretty scary. County Attorney Vitunac clarified that this resolution will impose no lien on anyone's property. If the Board later adopts a special assessment, then there will be liens on property just as when the County does water, sewer and road assessments. All County liens relate back to January 1. This resolution will provide a low-cost, efficient method of collecting the assessment, if there is an assessment. Glenn Legwen, 5900 5" Street SW, asked Commissioner Adams who had made the decision to advertise for this public hearing, and Commissioner Adams responded that the decision was made by County Attorney Vitunac, Coastal Engineer Jeff Tabar, and herself. Mr. Legwen submitted two handouts (on file with the backup of this meeting in the office of the Clerk to the Board) and proceeded to begin to read into the record questions concerning the ATM Beach Preservation Plan. He stated that the ATM plan had not been subject to public scrutiny and he would question a lot of assumptions made in it. Commissioner Ginn asked if Mr. Legwen had written out his questions and suggested that he give a copy to someone if he wanted them answered. Commissioner Adams and Commissioner Stanbridge then advised Mr. Legwen that this public hearing was solely on the resolution presented for consideration and suggested that Mr. Legwen reserve his comments for the appropriate future public hearings on the ATM plan in January. Mr. Legwen felt this was his opportunity to comment as it is very difficult for some people to get to some of the public hearings and say what they want to say. He felt he had spent quite a bit of time developing his questions, and he thought the Board might want to know some of the questions that he as a member of the public has before they adopt the resolution. Commissioner Adams explained the Board was interested to know his questions on the resolution, but the resolution has nothing to do with the ATM plan; she deduced that his questions had everything to do with the plan. Both she and Mr. Tabar would be very willing to sit down with him and answer his questions about the plan. In response to Mr. Legwen's inquiry as to the urgency to pass the resolution, Commissioner Adams reiterated the explanation concerning the statutory requirements. DECEMBER 22, 1998 33 800K �� 7 PACF�°
