INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM; 8708-1807 2'? <br /> Financial Participation - Water/Sewer Policy <br /> August 12, 1987 <br /> Page 2 <br /> industrial development. If the goal is to restrict the <br /> County 's involvement to projects such as the Efland <br /> project, then the proposed financing method may be <br /> incorrect. The Finance Director needs to be present to <br /> address this concern. <br /> A general question - Does the reference to "full faith <br /> and backing" refer to the County backing bonds issued <br /> for water/sewer line extensions? <br /> 5. Section (6 ) ( d ) - The reference to "easement <br /> acquisitions" can have different meaning - voluntary vs. <br /> acquisition through eminent domain. Such acquisitions <br /> will depend on the type of project involved ; i .e . , a <br /> project such as the Efland project may require the use <br /> of eminent domain. <br /> 6. Section (6 ) ( f ) - Where County funds are repaid for <br /> projects outside a service area and title is granted to <br /> the utility provider, conditions may still be attached <br /> to the transfer of title. An example is that connections <br /> or uses must be limited in such a manner to be <br /> consistent with the Land Use Plan. <br /> 7 . Section (6 ) ( h ) - Reference to lines being sized to serve <br /> existing or anticipated development may not be needed if <br /> a policy is adopted on limiting the use of such lines. <br /> 8. Section (7 ) ( d ) - This section may be deleted if a policy <br /> is adopted which states that the County will retain <br /> ownership of lines which it funds. <br /> 9. Section (7 ) ( f ) - References to "availability fees" vs. <br /> "assessments" may be deleted . One reference may be <br /> substituted - "access and availability fees" . <br /> 10. Section (7 ) (g ) - The provision which requires that a <br /> municipality pay the County share if annexation occurs <br /> is another example of a condition which could be <br /> attached to address a transfer of ownership situation . <br /> Please review these comments for accuracy. A subsequent <br /> meeting, with the Finance Director is necessary. A revised <br /> version may be presented to the Board at its September 8, <br /> 1987 meeting. <br /> If you have questions, please advise . <br />
