Furthermore, where County <br /> funds are used, in whole or in part, to <br /> finance extensions of such services, it <br /> shall retain some authority to determine the <br /> disposition of utility services provided. <br /> Jacobs inquired what timetable was being considered. <br /> Collins responded that the Agreement is to go to the <br /> Board of County Commissioners on August 3, 1987 and <br /> the water/sewer policy to be presented to the Board <br /> of County Commissioners on August 18, 1987 . Jacobs <br /> expressed concern that this issue would not be <br /> settled before the Town of Hillsborough ' s Bond <br /> Referendum.
