9:04:02 AM	Ziad Musallam - Update on Northeast Fulton County Water Supply, Assumption Water Service Agreement, and Elmira/Burlington Sewer Project Resolution 2005-450	Mr. Musallam reported having a meeting on July 7 with interested parties in the Northeast Fulton County Water Supply. The consensus was that there is not enough of a potential customer base to justify the cost. Commissioner Graf asked about the AI school being in this area - did it not count as a huge need? Mr. Musallam said that this would be a driving force but there was no one present from the school at the meeting. Those present did not oppose the concept just the cost. Mr. Musallam added that he did present the worst case scenario in the cost. Potential grants could come through the school. The area has not qualified as a critical need with a desperate need for water. One critical issue is that residents cannot be forced to tap. The commissioners instructed Mr. Musallam to research for any possible grants and monies that might be available. Metamora Village letter - reply stated that they would provide taps providing the County would agree to a higher water rate penalty for over usage. Mr. Hall said that on an average we will not be over. Commissioner Graf said that in the contract there are 2 or 3 taps still available. Mr. Hall said he sees that Metamora will not agree to anything until the Commissioners make a move. Ziad reported right now we are using an average of around 17,000 gallons, which is below what would be an overage and, in his opinion, these additional proposed taps would not result in an overage. Commissioner Graf said that according to the contract Metamora cannot deny the taps. Mr. Musallam stressed that in case of any agreement to pay an overage, there has to be a way to pass it on to the customers. Mr. Hall said that in the end, the Commissioners will need to amend the contract in his opinion. Elmira/Burlington Sewer Project - a letter has been sent out for a planning meeting (ODOT, the Village Archbold, Township Trustees, County departments that will be involved including GIS to coordinate and update) to be held on July 28, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. across the hall in the large conference room. A second public hearing should be scheduled for the CDBG application. Mr. Hall asked how long it would take to obtain the EPA permit. Mr. Musallam thought about 6 weeks. Commissioner Barnaby made motion to approve Seconded by Commissioner Genter to hold the second public hearing on August 8, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. Motion carried with Commissioner Graf abstaining.
