County Manager William Cowan requested that Mr. Bob Joyce of the Water Department be recognized to present a petition to the Board. Mr. Joyce stated that a petition was received from residents at the end of Carthage Street where it intersects with US Highway 1 Bypass to extend water service. This request would follow the guidelines of the County's Special Assessment District Policy and the Water Extension Policy. If the Board receives this petition, the Board will have to identify a source of income to provide for this extension. Since this area is located within the Special Assessment District, the County would have an engineer to design the system, the County would install and pay for the installation, and the residents would be assessed individually to reimburse the County. The State requires initially a preliminary assessment resolution, which the Water Committee would need to study and report to the Board of Commissioners. A preliminary cost estimate from the engineer is $20,000.00, which would be paid from the Water Fund. Commissioner Dossenbach asked approximately how much each family would have to pay. Mr. Joyce indicated that it may cost each family approximately $1,000.00. Commissioner Cox asked how the money would be assessed. Mr. Joyce stated that it could be assessed in one installment or in annual installments up to five years at 8% interest. Chairman Wicker asked how many residents are involved in this area. Mr. Joyce indicated that 18 of approximately 20 property owners have signed the petition. Commissioner Cox recommended that the Board receive the petition, and to forward it to the Finance Committee to determine the method of assessment, before it is introduced to the Water Committee. Chairman Wicker inquired about the earliest time table to initiate construction of this project. Mr. Joyce stated that if the Board adopts a preliminary assessment petition at their first meeting in December, a required public hearing could be held as soon 7
