bit and to make an effort to do that, because it's going to be 20 years before Alii Drive gets dug up, unless the county has plans to do it sooner than that, I'm not sure. VITOUSEK: Well, I mean, I feelI definitely understand where you guys are coming from and, you know, for us not having any experience with a sewer district or anything like that I feel like the idea behind it is that it facilitates the construction of the sewer in advance of the connection fees. So the payments to a sewer district would be in advance so that, hey, we are going to form this sewer district, we are going to collect fees that would set and go towards the construction of the sewer, and then at that point once it's constructed, there could be a connection fee as well. This is to allow for the upfront costs of the construction of the sewer, rather than after-the-fact connection fee. I agree with your discussion about the septic conversion to, from cesspool to septic, and possibly including language about the assessment of the feasibility of that connection during the, during the permit, because ifI feel like the time to do it would be the time during the renovations and remodel. Would—is there language that you would propose to be amended to the motion on the floor? DEFRANCO: I just think that—let's see to amend it to include the exploration of the possibility of having a septic system upgrade. I mean we can't really rule that out until they've looked a little bit further into it. CARR SMITH: As the—Mike? VITOUSEK: Yes, Commissioner Carr Smith. CARR SMITH: As the maker of the motion, I felt, I guess, Barbara, I felt that they have looked into it. I was pretty satisfied with John's discussion about the options that they have. And it's my opinion is that they are going to have to deal with that regardless when the time comes because everybody is, but it's down the road. Maybe there are some other options. There is, it seems that there is nothing that the county is requiring right now in terms of, you know, something that triggers the upgrade sooner than what the state has proposed. So personally, I don't think that there is a need to require that. But, Perry, what do you think? DEFRANCO: Ican I respond? CARR SMITH: Oh, sorry. DEFRANCO: I agree KEALOHA: DEFRANCO: Oh, go ahead, Perry. VITOUSEK: Let's see, go ahead, Perry, go ahead. 16 EXHIBIT B
