Utilities Director Tim Broome stated that based on recent inquiries regarding the availability of residential sewer service in the outlying residential sewer service area ORSSA , staff proposes an amendment to the residential sewer service policy The proposed amendment would allow residential sewer service in the ORSSA for properties not zoned PUD if the proposed development is contiguous to existing residential development with sewer service , and service can be provided by gravity sewer lines , which would not require a new pump station Commissioner Wade M Stewart stated the proposed amendment offers the County the opportunity to encourage new development contiguous to existing developments with sewer service , versus sporadic developments on tracts that do not meet the requirements for sewer service and would be served by septic systems Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr added the proposed amendment encourages the efficient use of the County’s facilities , and would allow the County to earn additional revenue He expressed support for the proposed amendment Commissioner Stewart raised the question whether the County would maintain a new pump station if a developer with property contiguous to existing residential development with sewer service in the ORSSA offered to share the costs or assume the entire costs of constructing the new pump station , because service could not be provided from an existing station with gravity sewer lines Mr Broome responded that staff’s recommendation is to continue requiring the minimum 100 acre PUD development if a wastewater pump station is required , unless the Board or County Manager grants a waiver Upon a motion by Commissioner DeVan Barbour , seconded by Commissioner W Ray Woodall and carried by unanimous vote , the Board approved the following amended Residential Sewer Policy 5 1 06 amendment is noted in bold and italics Residential Sewer Policy As Adopted 3 14 05 Sewer service for residential

Board Reports and Comments A Public Utilities Update At the request of Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr , Public Utilities Director Tim Broome briefly updated the Board on a recent meeting concerning an internal policy that allows developers to post bond to get final site plan approval before a subdivision’s development phase is complete This allows the developer to begin selling lots to builders ; however , staff has encountered some problems with this practice Staff’s recommendation is to not allow this anymore , and only give final approval of water and sewer lines when the development work is substantially complete A meeting with the County Manager on the topic has already been scheduled B Bills in Legislature – School Sites in Subdivisions Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr noted that there are currently bills in the legislature that would allow counties to reserve school sites in subdivisions , and possibly allow the counties to lock in at the price the developers paid for the land C Letter Supporting the Suspension of the State Increase on Gas Tax Commissioner Wade M Stewart moved the Board authorize Chairman Pope to send a letter to the proper officials expressing the Board’s support of the suspension of the state increase on gas tax , and further requesting a return to the original tax Commissioner W Ray Woodall seconded the motion , which carried by unanimous

Jeffrey P Carver suggested a new Solid Waste Committee look at the issue before any changes were made Commissioner Wade M Stewart stated his preference would be for the decals to return to 55 , and

citizens who were unhappy with the decal fees being raised to 80 Commissioner Tony Braswell added that he had spoken with several citizens as well , however , he had not received any complaints about the decal fees being raised Rather , citizens were concerned that the Board did not address the misuse of the current system , and abuse taking place at the sites Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr stated , in his opinion , the problem was much larger than the fixation of the decals on vehicles He emphasized the current policy was not fair or equitable to the citizens of the county , and that users of the convenience sites should be charged based on the volume and frequency that they use the sites In response to a question from Commissioner Braswell , Public Utilities Director Tim Broome stated that Utilities sold approximately 9,800 initial stickers for 55 each , and 8,500 additional stickers at 1 each Vote Following further discussion , the above motion carried by the following vote Ayes
