Supervisor Bornstein added that his original<br />
concern was with safety and aesthetics. Mr.<br />
Wheeler said that there are very stringent<br />
regulations governing the installation of fuel tanks<br />
and that the tanks will not be visible to the public.<br />
Supervisor Thacker stated that he still has a<br />
problem with the $80,000 cost per tank. Supervisor<br />
Bornstein moved for approval of the fuel tanks and<br />
Supervisor White seconded the motion. Motion<br />
passed 5 to 1; Supervisor Thacker voted against it.<br />
B) RESOLUTION <strong>2012</strong>-006 – CARRYING OUT<br />
THE DIRECTION OF THE BOARD OF<br />
SUPERVISORS CONCERNING SYSTEM<br />
DEVELOPMENT CHARGES (RECONCILIATION<br />
OR AMNESTY PROGRAM AND OTHER<br />
MATTERS) - Deputy Executive Director Sweeney<br />
made a PowerPoint presentation outlining the<br />
changes to the System Development Charge<br />
Resolution that incorporated the reconciliation or<br />
amnesty program. Mr. Sweeney advised the Board<br />
that System Development Charges (SDCs) resulting<br />
from improvements before 2005 would not be<br />
charged or collected. The basis of the September<br />
30, 2005 date is that information on properties and<br />
development that occurred before that date was<br />
either incomplete and/or difficult to track. Mr.<br />
Bornstein asked if Staff had a rough estimate of the<br />
amount of SDCs that would be lost. Mr. Sweeney<br />
responded that Staff does not have data or a way to<br />
make such an estimate.<br />
Supervisor Thacker expressed a concern that the<br />
<strong>Authority</strong> will be spending more money collecting<br />
the SDCs owed under the amnesty program than<br />
will be collected. He expressed support for the pilot<br />
program proposed in the resolution to target<br />
approximately 34 properties initially for staff to test<br />
the program before extending it to the total system.<br />
Supervisor Thacker made a motion to approve the<br />
resolution and the pilot program as a first step to<br />
implement the amnesty program. The pilot program<br />
should take about 60 days and will provide<br />
information on the amount of SDCs that can be<br />
collected and the relative cost of collection.<br />
Supervisor McKinnon seconded the motion.
