Commissioner Stanbridge commented that this will be one of the first projects of the <br />revitalization in the Gifford area and will help with the poor drainage there. This will also <br />achieve about 20 points on any grants applications. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in <br />this matter. <br />Juanita Andrews, 2110 42°d Street, asked for an explanation of the drainage program <br />and the relationship to the grants. She asked also about the $15 per year assessment and for <br />how long it would be assessed. <br />Director Davis advised that the MSBU would be in place at the discretion of the <br />Board of County Commissioners for as long as they deem it necessary to be in place. The <br />budget for the MSBU will be determined yearly, but most of the MSBU's currently in place <br />have been very stable per parcel acre per year. In the beginning, it will be $15; depending <br />on the cost -of -living, it could increase in the future. <br />Ms. Andrews had been at the informational meeting in September and asked when <br />the project was scheduled to begin and how long it would take. <br />Director Davis advised that it would depend on how quickly the land for the pond <br />could be acquired; he expected the construction would begin sometime next year and would <br />take approximately nine months. <br />It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the <br />public hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously adopted <br />Ordinance No. 2000-035 creating the East Gifford Watershed <br />November 7, 2000 <br />53 <br />BK 1! 5 PG 7 6 0 <br />
