HEARINGS
DELINQUENT SEWER SERVICE CHARGES
Hember Gibbs arrived at 8:10 o'clock P.M.
President Hitchell opened the Hearing for delinquent sewer service charges
to be placed on the tax bill for collection and asked for written protests;
there being none, he asked for oral protests.
Mr. C. Terence Ring, attorney for the Creekside condominium group, stated
that he had talked with Mr. Duffel of Duffel Smoot who stated that his firm is
responsible for the full payment of the connection charge and not the owners.
Hr. Ring requested that the delinquent sewer service charges not be placed
on the tax bill for the individual owners since he has had assurance from Mr.
Duffel that the moneys due would be paid by his firm.
Hr. B. Cleveland Meyer stated that the delinquent notice was the first
time he was aware that a service charge or connection charge was due.
After checking the District records, it was not certain that Mr. Meyer had
any obligation to the District.
Continued to August 5, 1965, for further checking.
Mr. }1. E. Williamson stated that the first time he had known there was a
connection charge or service charge due was when he received the delinquent
notice.
He stated that he was not informed of this when he recently purchased the
apartments from Barnett.
He further stated that if he had known he would have paid the connection
charge in full so as to eliminate the service charge, and asked for relief of
payment of the service charge plus penalties if he pays the remaining 90%
balance of the connection charge.
Mr. Bohn, Counsel-for the District, stated that it was a matter for
Board determination whether to allow a credit for any misunderstanding.
