<br />this fiscal year with a $33,000.00 payment now due followed by approximately
<br />$22,000.00 per year through 1981-82.

<br />these residents favored .t tax increase or Townwide assessment as they considered
<br />this obligation a problem facing the entire community. Others proposed it be

<br />Floor participation was also heard from Mr. Dick Towle, 26493 Weston Drive;
<br />Mr. Gardner Bullis, 14085 Manuella Road; Mr. Chas. Land, 12660 Viscafno Court;

<br />Purlselma Road and Mr. Nicholas Fortas, 13020 Cooper Vista Court.
<br />Council discussion ensued and it was noted that it would not be equitable to have
<br />a tax increase applied to those who had already paid. In response to whether
<br />prepayment 1n a lump am could result in some saving, staff noted that Palo Alto had
<br />been asked, but they had not yet responded.
<br />In response to criticism of the contract negotiated, Councilman Davey noted that the
<br />ground rules were different when the contract was executed which then was reasonable,
<br />but that the current voluntary sewer policy makes it economically infeasible -
<br />therefore, the solution is to reverse the policy.
