TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS District Manager Report
G. ERC Transfer Request
- The revised application for ERC transfer from Steve McNamee had been submitted the previous day, and it had been reviewed by Engineer Schmitt and Attorney Pires. The Board discussed the biggest concerns. Mr. McNamee wanted the Board to waive any request for an Attorney’s affidavit, and to revise it to an owner’s affidavit that would require notarization. This would also be a rule change during the revision of the rules in January.
- The application for transfer of the ERCs was approved, with several conditions attached to the approval. These are the conditions:
a. The transfer of O&M ERCs was denied until the O&M assessment methodology is completed. Upon this completion, any adjustments will be handled internally by Staff.
b. The Board approved the transfer of 8 utility ERCs from Parcel A to Parcel B, contingent upon the payment of the legal and engineering fees for review. In addition, a homeowner’s affidavit is submitted, satisfying the documentation required to make this transfer.
c. Any reference within the application submitted by Steve McNamee that identifies his social security number or any other personal information is to be redacted.
On MOTION by Supervisor Leishear, seconded by Vice Chair Holloway, with all in favor, the Board approved the transfer of 8 utility ERCs from Parcel A to Parcel B, contingent upon the payment of the legal and engineering fees, and that a homeowner’s affidavit has been submitted.
