payment amount.

Attachments: Staff Report
Proposed Ordinance Language Change
Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke gave a brief overview regarding
multiple Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs) on a parcel occupied by a single
family home. He explained that there was nothing in the Code that allowed for
a reduction of ERUs; however, with the assistance of the County Attorney's
Office, an Ordinance change was crafted.
Commissioner Solari inquired as to how unused ERUs would be handled, as he
did not feel that the Utility Department should profit. He suggested the
possibility of a 3rd party purchasing the unused ERUs from the original
purchaser, while Commissioner Zorc introduced the idea of donating unused
ERUs to non-profit organizations. Chairman Flescher felt that the larger issue
was the unused ERU's originally purchased by land owners who had invested in
future development, and should be revisited at a future meeting.
Amy Richardson, along with an additional resident of Provence Bay, felt that .
they had overpaid for water and sewage. Mr. Burke explained that when the
land was purchased by the original developer for multi -family units, there were
two (2) ERUs assigned to each of their properties. Ms. Richardson confirmed;
when questioned by Commissioner Solari, that she would be satisfied if she
would no longer be charged for the unused ERU.
A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner
Adams, to approve staffs recommendation. The motion carried by the following
vote:
