IN RE: NEW BUSINESS
~ Reauest for ADDroval of a SurÞlus ProÞertv Policy.
(John Willey. ProÞertv Manaqer)
A-82394-2
Mr. Willey advised that several months ago the Board
directed staff to review the current policy for disposing of
surplus real estate and examine possible alternatives. He
offered three alternatives: (1) disposition by public auction
which was tried in 1983 with less than satisfactory results; (2)
utilization of private sector realtors using either a single
company or an open listing available to all real estate firms,
both of which would require fees and commissions; and (3) in-
house representation which would save fees and allow the County
to control the number of properties exposed to the market at a
given time.
Mr. Willey recommended continuation of in-house
representation and presented proposed procedures. He advised
that there is an estimated 200 well lots that will be available
after the reservoir and transmission lines are complete.
Following discussion, supervisor Nickens moved to
approve alternative #3. The motion carried by the following

Mr. Grice advised that a team has been reviewing the
current procedures, and made several recommendations for changes
to the utility Billing ordinance. They are: (1) an initial fee
of $25.00 when service is started for residential and commercial
accounts; (2) no deposit would be charged when residential
service is started, however, a deposit would be charged to
restore service after being disconnected for non-payment and' a
second deposit would be charged to restore service the second
time a customer is disconnected. The deposits would be the amount
of the customer's most recent quarterly bill; (3) customers who
have service disconnected will be required to pay a fee of $20.00
to cover the cost for disconnecting service and a reconnection
fee of $20.00 to cover the cost to reconnect. The team did not
recommend refunding currently held deposits.

Mr. Robertson reported that in September 1993 the Sewer
Ordinance in the County Code was amended to allow for enforcing
the elimination of stormwater inflow and infiltration from
private property. The code based surcharges for non-compliance
on the amount of stormwater that could enter the sanitary sewer
system, and it was difficult to place realistic numbers of the
flows. The utility staff is recommending that the surcharge be
based on a category of defect rather than flow. Category I
would include sump pumps discharging to the sewer, holes in floor
drains, and downspouts, and would be the most serious. category
II would be infiltration into the sewer system such as leaking,
and category III would be minor defects which do not adversely
effect the sewer system.
In response to a question from Supervisor Minnix, Mr.
Robertson advised that when a cutoff is shut, they leave a hanger
on the door to let citizens know when they close the system, but
may have to let them know when it is reopened.
It was the consensus of the Board to go forward with
the recommended changes to the ordinance. Mr. Robertson will
bring the ordinance back for a first reading on September 27,
1994, and second reading on October 11, 1994.

installation of single-wide manufactured homes on individual
lots. Those that currently exist are considered nonconforming
uses and may not be replaced with another single-wide unit. Mr.

request from a property owner who wishes to replace a unit which
is experiencing electrical and leakage problems with a newer
single-wide unit. Mr. Harrington advised that the Planning
commission recommended amending the ordinance to allow
