permits coming up for renewal." And, the stress of that, I think, is the biggest issue. But, at the
<br />same token, to come back isn't, isn't necessarily a problem.
<br />CUMMINGS: It's just we got always, you know, it always, at the end of the five years, gotta
<br />come back. You know what I mean? All I worried about is my children. Get them set up. I'm
<br />not healthiest clown in the world, but—when time to go, it's time to go, and I like make sure I
<br />die happy, you know?
<br />KERN: So, yeah, I think it's less of a monetary issue. I mean, the monetary issue isn't really—
<br />it's more of the other side of it. But, at the same time, that's what we're for a discussion. If the
<br />Commission says, "hey, we should look at this every so often," what's a reasonable timeframe
<br />for that?
<br />CLARKSON: Okay, and then the—thank you—the other question I have had to do with water
<br />use. I know that the items are just stored there, but I was wondering why the fairly large amount
<br />of water use. Are you filling them up with County water before trucking them out there?
<br />CUMMINGS: No. I have an endless pool. And, I had a transplant twelve years ago—excuse
<br />me. I have an endless pool that I swim in, but I cannot use chemicals. And, it's like about 2,000
<br />gallons. So, every other month I gotta change the water because of my kidney. So, I cannot
<br />swim in it with the chemicals. So, every other month I change the water. That's why I use
<br />plenty water. My trucks fill up at the sewage treatment plants before they come back, so every
<br />day they done. They fill up the water there and then they come back.
<br />CLARKSON: Okay.
<br />CUMMINGS: And, I get cattle and I get like six troughs, hundred fifty gallons a trough, and it's
<br />dry over there. So, they gotta drink water.
<br />CLARKSON: It's raining this morning.
<br />KERN: It is. Can I add to that?
<br />CUMMINGS: Out there is [inaudible].
<br />KERN: We had looked at that. That was a comment that came back from Department of Water
<br />Supply saying hey, they, it, you know, the water usage is greater so I spoke to Mrs. Cummings
<br />and she had mentioned that, you know, Mr. Cummings has the endless pool which is the kind of
<br />pool where there's a flow in it. So, it's almost like a treadmill type pool, right? And, so you
<br />said, yeah, John likes, John needs to, you know, refill the pool every so often. So, I said, you
<br />know, this is an issue. You know, we can't have the water usage going above what you're
<br />allowed to from the Water Department. So, we looked at it and I said you're going to have either
<br />two options. One is to get your water usage down so it meets that criteria, or ask for an
<br />additional water meter for additional usage, or potentially have a holding tank. You know, like a
<br />catchment tank that could be used for more of the agriculture activities on, 10,000-15,000
<br />gallons holding tank that could be filled from, you know, typical rain catchment system that we
