Ms. Marshall stated "that's right. The flow can't come into the streams. It has to be diverted someway and I think it's going to be expenses for tha dairy farmers to construct these. And if all the County is willing to build the reservoir out there, then it seems to me that it might be reasonable that they would help with the cost that is necessary to keep the water pure." Commissioner' Pinney stated "you are talking about generally bet- ween $20,000 to $30,000 far sediment ponds per barn, and yes I am willing to help because I don't want to see anybody driven out by a change in regulations." Mr. Pinney continued "another question is, now who is building, the County or the Authority?" Commissioner Garrett stated "I've heard, or we've talked about• the County would be building it. I thing there needs to come out of this meeting a committee, some kind of structures to work on what agree- ment." Mr. Morris inquired if Mr. Pinney was talking about the physical building. "Who is responsible for contracting with the designer, the engineers and the contractors?" Mr. Pinney added "and who goes out to try to work with the people in Cane Creek." The reply was "yes." Mr. Pinney stated "I think this is important and needs to be settled, who's going to do it, but I believe T would do it a little different." Mrs. Garrett stated "one of the problems that we are faced with is the time. Unless the County is going to somehow go ahead and say. we are going to shoulder that risk right now of paying for the survey and paying for whatever you know, if somehow that money is available right now, then that could be answered one way. But the Authority can't wait." Mr. Howes stated "that question is premature, Jan, because the Authority can't wait, it has to proceed. It simply cannot turn back on the course of its own." Commissioner Gustaveson stated "if we work together during the period of the next twa or three months until the referendum, that we would work in parallel and once its clear that the G O money is avail-' able then we could shift to major responsibilities for the County, or they would be the one who would be financially responsibility for this and have some kind of agreement which shifted the present contractors over to County responsibility. It seems to me that the whole operation could be pretty much a parallel kind of operation." Commissioner Garrett stated "I understand what Jan is saying, and I think Jan raises a goad point, if we are going to come out of this meeting tonight agreeing to things being work out, great, but Jan is saying that there are County resources or things..... (this part of the meeting was last in turning the tape) Jan Pinney remarked "if we go out there :and we work with the people and do it and I will take what flack just like anybody else. But if you all go out there and then transfer it to the County, then I and the rest of the Commissioners are not catching our air share of the flack 'to say it that way "'. General Hurow in answer to Mr. Pinney's question stated "I think we all are trying and I think we should plan it together and to as far as we can in this stage which is called planning right now. We are just talking to the people, we are just surveying which is going ahead with financial planning then looking into whatever money is avail- able. This will take a better part of several months and I think this is what we ought to go in tandem and at that point we will determine who is going to be doing that construction, but I see nothing inconsistant with doing it together right now. These very steps which we're out- lined as the ones leading to the construction, pumping and etc. Right now, the talking to the people, the signing, the surveying and all that
