(2) Questionnaire
CHAIR CALDWELL: Asked about questions conceming the questionnaire.
H. SLATER: Very few criticisnns. The popular criticism was conoeming the
cast of installing municipal water and sewer. Gave copies of
Dave Putnam's suggestion on changing the phrasing. Also
pointed out the numbering error_
D. GRANTHAM: Concern about the proposed revision for cost of installatiorf
being misleading.
D. WEINSTEIN: Agreed that the original phrasing was attempting to make an
estimate of the approximate cost whereas the revision reflects
what is considered a reasonable amount to pay,
CHAIR CALDWELL, Splitting up the costs makes it appear as though there is a
range.
