The gravity sewer opens up the area to the north which <br /> is in the 20-year transition area. <br /> Chair Willhoit suggested going with the base and expanding the base <br /> by $50,000 to include as many of the committed customers as possible. <br /> Commissioner Marshall suggested meeting with Hillsborough to reach an <br /> agreement on Orange Heights. <br /> It was agreed to add $25,000 to the $50,000 committed for the school. <br /> Hazen and Sawyer will take the base bid, review the customers that <br /> have made a comanitment, and include as many of those as possible in the <br /> project that $75,000 will allow. <br /> Commissioner Walker expressed concern for those who have made <br /> commitments and will not be included in the first phase of the project and <br /> again questioned the commitment made by the County. <br /> Commissioner Marshall noted that if the County must serve all those <br /> who signed the contract agreement a referendum would be needed to do the <br /> project if done in one phase. <br /> It was a consensus that Hazen and Sawyer would present the report to <br /> FaHA indicating Orange County's commitment to go with the base bid and as many <br /> of the committed customers that 1.154 million will finance. The go-ahead for <br /> the engineering design will be postponed pending a final contract with the Tbwn <br /> of Hillsborough.
