Donna Roehl reported that Hearing notice had been published and individual notices had been sent to affected property owners. Glen Cook explained that the project was initiated in the Spring of 1983 with a test well being drilled to 815 ft. into Hinckley formation which was then pumped at 800-1000 gpm. It was then pulled back to 590 ft with a casing to 420 ft., pumping at about 200 gpm. He stated that the cost of the project including drilling, piping, electrical, etc. is $85,840. He explained that the proposed assessment roll has 224 units at $325 per unit for a total of $72,800. Each unit based on 20,000 gal. He stated that the remaining costs would be paid for through additional units being added to the system. Donna Roehl explained the assessment relief available to low income homeowners. Richard Schieffer stated that an interest rate and assessment years would need to be de- cided. Amos Dayon, 3795 Co. Rd. 116, stated that a more fair way would be to addan extra charge to the quarterly water bill. Joe Raskob, 500 Hwy. 55, stated that there were inequities in the Assessment Roll, in that, their business was being assessed for 35 units and were actually using 25-26, based on the 20,000 gal. per unit, formula. Glen Cook explained that they were being charged according to the SAC units assessed by Metro Waste Control and that could be reviewed for accuracy. Mr. RAskob stated that in proporation, the system is just as valuable to to other busi- nesses as theirs and yet some are being charged 1 unit when several offices are utilizing the building. Donna Roehl explained that Rolling Green was assessed on the original 20 units which were assessed in 1968 and if water usage was compared the number of units would be much higher. Glen Cook stated that Rolling Green Country Club could also be reviewed. Anne Heideman stated that perhaps some other formula could be considered for Rolling Green. Donna Roehl reported that Colonial Drive In Theatre had not been assessed as they were not connected to city water and there was no comparison that could be made as to water usage. Discussion of assessing those not connected to city water or collecting charges when prop- erties are developed or connected to water.
