Tim Zorc, Treasure Coast Builders Association, disclosed lus relationship with Asset Recovery dealing with them in the building community. He admitted that he never read the refund terminology clearly, which was a big mistake on his part. He wanted to know what prompted the January 13, 2011 change to put different restrictions on a refund policy. He noticed that very few people who applied for a refund had paid the $200 fee, and he questioned why it was inconsistent. He saw a lot of issues that needed clarification, even around the State, on how a refund is actually paid. Deborah Sealey, an employee of Asset Research and Recovery, said that she handles correspondence, and discussed individual questions received from different types of the public, mostly seniors, pointing out the lack of knowledge of what is an impact fee, and they cannot conceive how they would receive something back. She told the Board that Asset Research has a . responsibility to the people they represent, and the Board has responsibility to everyone and requested the Board to reopen the refund period and return those refunds to those entitled to it. Keith Kite, 1045 Winding River Road, Vero Beach, agreed with Administrator Baird, but he also agreed that citizens cannot track the impact fees. He just realized that he has a $1,400 refund from when he built his house in District 2 in 1997. Although he tries to track his impact fees, he could not find it.
