Meetings were held, the issues were resolved, however they did say the City was
a bit out of compliance with the levels of treatment to the disposal on the golf
course. Nothing more was said; the City then received a copy of the consent
order and that they were going to fine us $1,000.00. The City renegotiated over
the money and they lowered the figure to $500.00. The letter has gone out telling
them they should not charge the City the $500.00 based on the fact that
the rules that we were operating under, we were not in violation, primarily because
there was a permit that was issued with no access criteria which was not even in effect
back in 1980 which was transferred over to the City when we took over the plant, and
these rules are not retroactive unless specifically stated in a rule. Mr. Kozlov
said he is attempting to have a meeting with the District Manager to resolve this
issue.

and the Commission was not in favor of joining with the County and pledging our

the funds.

Orange County to allow us to join in with their bid to buy this vehicle. Seconded
by Commissioner Jacobs. Discussion. Vote on the motion: Commissioner Trencher, aye;
Commissioner Kaehler, aye; Commissioner Hoffmann, aye; Commissioner Kulbes, aye;
Commissioner Jacobs, aye; motion carried.
.
Manager Rozansky spoke in reference to the letter from the Land Coordinator on
multi-laning SR 419/434.
