0 3 0'7 <br /> Frank Sheffield pointed out that as the project stands, the County would <br /> not receive any income at all from those in the Orange Heights area. <br /> Commissioner Marshall suggested that Ken Thompson, Don Willhoit and <br /> Geoffrey Gledhill work with Mayor Frank Sheffield or his designee within the <br /> next few days to work out an agreement. She emphasized that the County is <br /> willing to work with the Town in any way that will be equitable for the system <br /> to meet the approval of FmHA. <br /> Remus Smith asked if the County could loan the Town the money to build the <br /> line in Orange Heights and was told that the County is in the process of <br /> working on the budget and not sure that the money would be available. <br /> Moses Carey summarized that the agreement would contain a statement <br /> permitting the Town or the County to increase tap fees at the prevailing rate, <br /> the meter will be placed east of the river, and that the Town is not in a <br /> position to build the line because of money and time constraits. <br /> Commissioner Marshall noted that the immediate problems are with Orange <br /> Heights, and the determination of the fees that must be charged to the <br /> customer. The County must determine how far they can decrease the rates and <br /> still be able to meet the debt service obligation. <br /> With no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned. <br /> Shirley Marshall, Vice-Chair <br /> Beverly A. Blythe, Clerk <br />
