station would work on the 10 homes adding that John Hooker had located information on
a centrical pump that he sent to Mel for review.
Commissioner Pennel added that he didn’t vote for this issue as he felt the
Commission needed to spend more time on the issue. Commissioner Herschend stated
that this was a simple issue, to take in 10 homes to a project with a 200,000 gallon pump
station, we have to do something. Commissioner Pennel noted that he wasn’t saying not
to do the project but to look in the future 2, 5 maybe 10 years. Commissioner Herschend
stated that we have a short term need and we voted to fix the problem, I just don’t see
spending that kind of money.

their sewer. Commissioner Herschend asked why they hadn’t built their sewer
