-, Chairman Whitted stated he had some difficulty in tying the fees 'system in with the direct cost that would change from year to year. He stated he felt it is appropriate to charge some fee but he did not want to tie a fee into direct cost. He suggested the Board discuss a fee less than $65.00 and then proposed a fee of $25.00. Commissioner Pinney stated the problem he had with the $65.00 fee is that it makes na differential between a mobile home and an expensive house. Discussion continued about what an appropriate fee should be for these services." It was pointed out that developers who are speculating would require the initial service most often. Two types of land are to be considered in the four step process: The lots of record and raw land. The lots of record would require the Health Department services to see if a structure can be built on the site. This charge should be so set so that this is the only charge the owner would have rather than bearing the cost for other services the owner would not receive. The raw land would require a four step process and would cost more. It was suggested that the Board consider an acreage charge as stage one and then the next three stages would fallow if appropriate. The proposal the Board felt was mast appropriate was to charge $10.00 for the first step, plus $3.25 for each additional acre where services are required. The second step charge would be $15.00 for soil analysis. Third charge for step three would be $10.00 and step four would require a fee of $10.00. Commissioner Willhoit withdrew his motion and Commissioner Gustaveson withdrew his second to Mr. Willhoit's motion. Commissioner Gustaveson then moved that the Board adopt the schedule of $10.00 for step one, $15.00 for step two, $10.00 for step three and $10.00 for step four. The County Manager and the Health Director are to develop a clear picture of. the 5=chedule and steps and the County Attorney review this and determine haw step one will effect a minor subdivision. This information will be presented to the Soard at their August 7th meeting and a date for implementation will be decided upon. Commissioner Willhoit seconded the motion. Commissioner Pinney stated he felt $45.00 charge was too expensive. The Chairman called for a vote on the motion and voting aye were Commissioners Whitted, Gustaveson and Willhoit. Voting nay were Commissioners Pinney and Walker. The motion was declared passed.
