7 <br />district and if the standards are different there may be a problem in <br />determining a flat fee. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis asked for additional information on the <br />actual number of residential units and the number of these which are <br />mobile homes. <br />John Link indicated that the staff plans to present to the <br />Board in November a format for implementing an impact fee. They will <br />consult within the next few months with school system staff, <br />homebuilders representatives, the municipalities, etc. He would suggest <br />a public hearing in February, and after adjusting the format make it <br />effective on July 1, 1992. <br />Commissioner Willhoit feels the real issue is how much will <br />the market take -- how much can be assessed and the equity issue of <br />whether or not there will be the same amount assessed on a mobile home <br />as on a 5-- bedroom home. <br />D. OWASA QUARTERLY REPORT <br />Lois Herring, Chair of the OWASA Board of Directors, was <br />available to answer questions. She noted that discussions on the sale <br />of water to Hillsborough ended late last year. OWASA currently can <br />supply Hillsborough with 400,000 gallons of water per day on a 7 -day a <br />week basis. The price is reasonable considering the quality of the <br />water. Selling the pipeline to Hillsborough has never been discussed. <br />Mayor Johnson is on the OWASA agenda for August 29. Lois Herring made <br />additional comments about the recreational facilities for Cane Creek. <br />They hope to start construction on phase one in the near future. <br />VIII.
