21 August 2007 Dearborn County Commissioner Meeting Notes
Present: Hughes, Chairman, Fox, and Thompson
Also present: Pickens, Auditor, Ewbank, Attorney, and Messmore, Administrator
A uniformed police officer was present.
1. Harrison Fire/EMS contract tabled again at Hughes request as he is still working on it.
2. EMA- Bill Black received signatures on the $150,000 exercise grant from Homeland Security for exercises to be done at Muscatatuck on Oct 27th for Homeland Security. This is in addition to the $450-500,000 they already have in Homeland Security grants.
3. Jeff Smith- Weights and Measures- Thompson updated him on the discussion from Budget hearings this week. Pickens also worked on this issue. It was presented as putting Weights and Measures under the Building Inspector and hiring Smith as part time weights and measures and part time building inspector (at starting salary) to replace a retiring employee. Smith will be trained and certified for building inspections. This puts it all under the county. There will be a 2nd employee in the building dept. trained to do Smith’s work also- so they can cover each other.
Smith noted that equipment has all been moved to EMA building and it will be taken to Indy for recertification in Sept. He also has complaints on gas pumps (due to price increases) and has put a complaint form online as well as his 800 number for people to use.
4. GIS- Margaret Minzner introduced her intern John Huang from Washington Univ in St. Louis. He gave the presentation on the Historic Structures update (previously done in 1983) The County has 76 outstanding historic structures and 232 notable ones. This work was performed under a grant from Indiana Humanities Council. The structures were digitally photographed and logged in with GPS. Huang ended his presentation noting that updates should be done more frequently than every 24 years.
5. PAWS- Sandy Carly and Becky Foster gave presentation of their current financial status and had an outside CPA go over their financials to present to commissioners at Ewbank’s suggestion. Ewbank noted that this was the best report he’s seen and he’s seen several over his many years as attorney for government entities. PAWS needs $1.6 million. They have $800,000 from L-bg, $135,000 from individual; they’ve raised $247,000 and need another $418,000. Their architect is working with Hrezo Engineering on the plans. Mayor Cunningham was present and noted that perhaps Lawrenceburg should put their funding into an interest bearing account so that interest could be added to the funding.
6. Todd Listerman- Transportation- shaved several minutes from his usual reporting time. ( 15 minutes total :-))
a. Whippoorwill Drive from Wood’s Edge Sub’n was accepted into inventory by Commissioners. Fox asked if it was core- sampled. Listerman said they were on-site inspecting as it was paved and so that was not necessary. Its 909 ft long= 0.172 miles.
b. Wilson Creek is fixed except for the guardrail and fence repair.
c. The slip on Wilson Creek by US 50 – he is working with OKI to get fed funding on this.
d. Collier Ridge report is in on his desk- he will review and check with Sherzinger Drilling on costs if caissons are chosen as method to repair. Fox wants him to also check locally for other options and to see about costs of relocating the road.
e. Stateline and Stephens intersection work is complete and Listerman will get STOP bars painted when US 50 stripes are done. He was approved for $8,648.12 in additional on this work also. This still is under the $309,000 estimated costs. Hughes asked Listerman to give reasoning on 3:1 slope at that site to Mr. Keller – the HVL manager to post on their board for residents to understand the safety issues and why this was allowable.
f. Moreton Salt was awarded the contract for winter salt supplier at $47.06 to D-2, $45.88 to D-1, and 45.88 to D-3. The losing bid was Cargill at $51/ton to all 3 districts.
7. Pickens noted the PSEG issue was resolved finally. Claims and minutes signed.
8. Messmore- Sept 18th commissioners meeting there will have a half hour presentation from Office of Community and World Affairs Hometown Competitiveness Program for RISE 2020.
9. Ewbank- Commissioners signed a subordination for property at 27 Brown St. Greendale- this was part of a loan for rehabilitation and will be forgiven in 2008 if the owners remain there completing their 10 year residency after rehab granted.
Sheriff Work Release Fund was created officially by ordinance as requested from SBOA. This is money collected from inmates on work release. They pay to work by day and return to jail at night. Approved.
Ewbank is also working on ordinances to create funds for fees on the annual sex and violent offender’s lists, foreclosure fees for sheriff sales, and charging inmates when they break things in jail.
Meeting adjourned 7:30 PM

Hey kids!
How is that "No Enforced Sewer Hook-Ups Letter" coming?
And as far as:
Ewbank is also working on ordinances to create funds for fees on the annual sex and violent offender’s lists...
"annual" and "sex" should never be next to each other in the same sentence!
It is quite disconcerting for the average "speed reader!!!"
Yeah- how is that no forced sewer hook-ups letter coming?
Or was that just for show?
Yeah- how is that no forced sewer hook-ups letter coming?

Maybe Ewbank just does not have the time to dictate the letter because he and Kramer are spending too much time golfing with Hughes, Fox, Maxwell and Fehrman!
Without "forced hook-ups" the DCRSD would just have to fold up their tent and go home.
They are not a "player" amongst the local sewer utility providers!
The DCRSD was a realtor/developer scam from its very inception!!!
"The DCRSD was a realtor/developer scam from its very inception!!!"
Look how well the DCRSD is doing in regards to High Ridge Estates!
Now that Dennerline has his sewers, High Ridge residents can move, en masse, to his trailer park, while Maxwell levels their homes at the taxpayers’ expense, making way for Fehrman Estates!
And the sewer hook-up crazys have surfaced again.
And the sewer hook-up crazys have surfaced again.
And the slugs have resurfaced again bitching about the unfairness of it all that the rest of us do not desire to "invest" in their developments!
Without the DCRSD, Fehrman and Maxwell would be relegated to rolling drunks for pocket change to finance their sewers!
So tell us DCRSD shill, are you still holding the residents of High Ridge hostage until Brett gets his subdivision sewered by the taxpayer and those surrounding his development?
Dillsboro to the West of you and the SDRSD to the East, refuse to line your pockets at the expense of their customers and neighbors!
What is it like to be a dishonest pebble between two honest boulders?
Crushing your spirit a bit?
And the sewer hook-up crazys have surfaced again.
Brett Fehrman forcing sewer hook-ups to subsidize his subdivision is just a "figment" of our imaginations?
You DCRSD cheerleaders don't even believe your own lies...
...yet!
Greed will soon rearrange your brain cells allowing even you to be fooled by your own lies!
Come on guys!
Brett is just trying to keep food on his table for his family!
The fact he feels the need to steal your childrens' food, should be of no consequence!
Which crack has West slipped into? We haven't heard anything from the snakes at DCEDI. Are they waiting for Hughes and Fox to resign like everyone else?
Thieving political enablers always lay low before an election...
...they think our memories are as short as any list cataloging their ethical attributes!
Why are you so upset with everthing. Nothing seems to appease you people.
Face it you have no life but to entertain me on this site.
Why are you so upset with everthing. Nothing seems to appease you people.
Outside little SOBs such as yourself, doing your best to steal your way to prosperity, we are a pretty happy lot!
In fact a couple of my kids and I are going fishing tonight for catfish!
But even those bottom feeders would not want to be in your crooked company!
Have a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!
Face it you have no life but to entertain me on this site.
Well, may I suggest you hold on to those "Happy Thoughts" as the County cuts off all money to you and your little effete band of delinquent little swindlers!
I will be thinking of you as the real estate market continues its downward spiral!
The ranks of every vocation need to be thinned out occasionally to permit the stronger to prosper!
Maybe you could cut your mom and dad’s grass for a buck or two?
Beats stealing other hard working, but not related to your mommy and daddy, realtors’ commissions!
Don’t worry…be happy…like the rest of us “HONEST” Dearborn County natives!
Is there one person in a billion who thinks Brett's first thought after being appointed to the DCRSD's Board was:
"GEE, I CAN'T WAIT TO HELP ALL THOSE POOR FOLKS OF DEARBORN COUNTY WITH THEIR SEWER WOES!"?
Brett's priority is Brett, the rest of us be damned!
The previous comment sounds as if you are upset with government but yet you want government to take care of you?
The previous comment sounds as if you are upset with government but yet you want government to take care of you?
What?
Not sure what your point is, try not drinking so much at lunch!
It is not government that pains the citizens, but the corruption of government that concerns us all!
Brett's abuse of his position for personal gain, pains us all!
"It is not government that pains the citizens, but the corruption of government that concerns us all!"
Don't you just love it when crooks wrap themselves in the cloak of doing the "public good" as they pick your pocket!
I find it highly unlikely that you would stop complaining if this Brett guy was out of the public office and government comprised of 100 clones of yourself.
You still will be sour about everthing.
Remember, it was Fehrman who tried to sell his subdivision somehow as a tool to finance the new County Jail!
This is a person who has no shame!
You still will be sour about everthing.
Sour?
List what we are "sour" about, other than theft?
Or are your fortunes so tied up in forcing the rest of us to subsidize your dreams, your inate "sourness" leads you to the belief that we all have have our eggs in same basket of happiness?
Myopia is a treatable disease!
“I find it highly unlikely that you would stop complaining if this Brett guy was out of the public office and government comprised of 100 clones of yourself.”
Yeah!
That is right!
This blog is a cornucopia of complaining about all things, not just realtor/developer prompted and instigated pilfering via sewers!
Have you even read this blog?
Greed and gluttony has queered your senses!
this Brett guy
Talking of yourself in the third person can be viewed as a mental disorder!
I am talking in first person and there goes that parnoia again.
Give up 3:33PM. You can't outlast a drone.
Sitting on DCRSD has to be frustrating. If you started there hoping to make a difference and tehn get side tracked by other members- whose names we all hear on this blog.
There are a couple members on that board who actually seem to be "neutral." We never hear their names on the blog.
But then maybe that's a problem too- perhaps they need to be more vocal.
I am talking in first person and there goes that parnoia again.
But are you stealing in the 3d person?
"Give up 3:33PM. You can't outlast a drone."
So, are you all still "droning" on about the wonderful job you are doing for High Ridge?
The only "real" job you were tasked with?
Dennerline had his pockets lined!
Brett is in close competition with Dennerline.
But still, the only assignment, that was the genesis of your creation, you have done...SQUAT!!!
So, are you all just crooks or simply f#$king inept?
There's no reason to use that kind of language here.
Well, you can understand there are folks who may have to sell their homes because they cannot afford to hook-up to these proposed sewers for the benefit of a BOARD member!
And to date, they have no one, really doing anything to protect them from the likes of Fehrman.
Witness the time it is taking to put together a no forced hookups letter!
Folks around this proposed subdivision are being robbed and no one is speaking up for them!
So I can understand some of these folks are now at their wits end.
No one on the DCRSD speaks for the little guy, the non-realtor and/or developer!
Until someone truly stands up for these people, the anger and resentment can only grow!
And if angry words bruise your sensibilties, prepare yourself for a lot more when these folks are actually forced, by operation and enforcement of law, to get bank loans to pay for Fehrman's sewers!!!
It is just beyond comprehension what a handful of developers are willing to do to turn a profit. Imagine the day when Brett gets the go-ahead sign to force all of us onto grinder pumps and pressurized lines. He will be popping corks and high-fiving family and friends, while the rest of us will be scrambling to find the resources just to keep our homes. How pathetic!!!
Chances are, you folks already on working septic systems, could flush your commodes during last winter's electrical outages.
On Fehrman's sewers, you would have been unable to flush your toilets!
But these sewers are cheaper than gravity types and easier to initially sell to a few gullible or conflicted elected officials!
No one, who may prosper from such a setup, wishes to speak to the fact of the future costs of maintaining and replacing expensive grinder pumps or the real health issues that would arise with situations of electrical outages!
Price the grinder pumps. In the $5000.00 range! Maximum service life, under ideal conditions: 10 years!
Not to mention all the costs of excavation for existing property owners! Remember, Fehrman does not care if your home is 30 feet from his sewer line or the better part of a mile. His aim is to force every homeowner onto his sewers!
And what If you are forced by Doug Baer’s Health Department to get a compatible gas powered generator, just to flush your toilets? Those that are interconnected to your home’s electrical panel, can cost over $10,000.00!
All for the fast and initial profit of a few realtors and/or developers!
Is the property actually owned by Fehrman or is his company just trying to sell the property for the owners?
I believe the property on 50 with the big sign advertizing 120 lot subdivision, is a Fehrman Realty/Development project. But I could be wrong. However, whether Fehrman owns the property outright or stands to profit as an agent from the development of said property, is immaterial as to his conflicting interests in pushing these sewers! Remember, the DCRSD was conceived to fix the problems of High Ridge Estates, another developer nightmare left to the taxpayers to fix. Dillsboro has already offered to take on High Ridge, but since refuse to take on Fehrman's proposed subdivisions, the DCRSD balked!
I believe that both Dillsboro the SDRSD are also against the DCRSD's plan to force hook-ups of those on existing septic systems, especially in circumstances that would place these existing homeowners greatly in debt.
The DCRSD's plan would literally make existing homeowners' homes practically impossible to sell, if allowing any hope of recouping the costs of these forced hook-ups.
The DCRSD's plan would literally make existing homeowners' homes practically impossible to sell, if allowing any hope of recouping the costs of these forced hook-ups.
This is point has to be driven home to our elected officials!!!
They have to be made aware just what sort of "real" financial losses these forced sewer hook-ups are going to have to be borne by those forced onto these sewers while the likes of Fehrman and Maxwell profit at their expense!!!
"And what If you are forced by Doug Baer’s Health Department to get a compatible gas powered generator, just to flush your toilets? Those that are interconnected to your home’s electrical panel, can cost over $10,000.00!"
You know, I was wondering the same thing. It would only take the resultant sewer mess, caused by a severe ice storm or other natural or man-made disasters, resulting in week long power outages, where the Health Department would have to step in and force measures such as generators to "protect the public health!"
OH MY GOD! THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!
SOME MIGHT HAVE TO PEE OUTSIDE!
OH THE HORROR!
IS THE BOOGY MAN GOING TO GET YOU WHILE YOU ARE OUTSIDE?
YOU PEOPLE ARE FUNNY!
In reference to the 120 lot subdivision on U.S. 50.
Whether a realtor or developer or Aunt Bee is pushing the sewer or is on the board does not matter it is zoned "R" and it will be a residential development.
And even when a developer will pay for the sewer you will have still have a problem with it.
"YOU PEOPLE ARE FUNNY!"
Did anybody ever tell you that you are a "mean drunk!"
Sober up, then post something cogent.
"And even when a developer will pay for the sewer you will have still have a problem with it."
There will always be confict when it comes to development. That is a given.
But, I would posit that, at least the Fehrman proposed development, would not be on the scale that is now planned but for his ability to force others to subsidize his project!
No one, that I know of, is keeping Brett from negotiating with Dillsboro or the SDRSD, where he could negotiate impact or development fees to have sewers run to and service is proposed development!
But that would take more from his bottom line.
And of course, it is much more palatable for Brett to spread the cost of his sewers using existing homeowners' money!
There are homes being built around my farm, but you don't see me out in my front pasture protesting such.
Why?
Not one of these builders or developers is trying to force me, via operation of law, to subsidize them!
Brett, on the other hand...
We wouldn't want Brett having to take too great of a financial risk building his subivision. We all need to chip in and give Brett a hand! If it takes the rest of us to get loans, then, hey, it is for our boy Brett!!!!!!!!!!!
"And even when a developer will pay for the sewer you will have still have a problem with it."
I love this line of reasoning:
"You all will complain anyway about my development, so why not force you to pay for it while you complain?"
Some of our local realtor/developers suffer from sever cognitive dissonance!
Note, no matter what, Brett and his ilk, need us to pay, for them to profit!
Wasn't it "tough guy, get a gun and shoot me" DCRSD Board Member Maxwell who ran crying like a girl to the authorities when some grey haired grandma put up a sign in her yard "protesting" his development?
And even had his flunkies in government take legal action against her? At the taxpayer’s expense!
Happy ending, the "mean ole, intimidating grandma” won in court!!!
And these DCRSD pissants tell us we are the ones afraid of boogy men!
Happy ending, the "mean ole, intimidating grandma” won in court!!!
How much did the taxpayers pay to fight this "losing" case in court for the benefit of a realtor and/or developer?
Our local development crowd has done more to get the legal profession rich on taxpayer dollars than any legal lobbying group could have ever imagined!
No one, that I know of, is keeping Brett from negotiating with Dillsboro or the SDRSD, where he could negotiate impact or development fees to have sewers run to and service is proposed development!
Brett could not believe his good fortune of possibly "piggy-backing" on the High Ridge sewer crisis to pay for his subdivision's sewers also.
Sadly, for Brett at least, clearer thinking and honest individuals intervened and said: "No...Na...Na...Na....!!!"
He couldn't fool Dillsboro or the SDRSD!
And it looks like he can no longer fool County Council!
"Price the grinder pumps. In the $5000.00 range! Maximum service life, under ideal conditions: 10 years!
Not to mention all the costs of excavation for existing property owners! Remember, Fehrman does not care if your home is 30 feet from his sewer line or the better part of a mile. His aim is to force every homeowner onto his sewers!"
I have a friend near this proposed subdivision. Because of his set back and topography between the proposed sewer line and his home, he was told by a plumper it would take at least three sets of pumps to get his waste to the sewer line!
Puting this poor guy through this, as he is rapidly approaching retirement age, is absolutely criminal on Fehrman's part!!!
"plumper?"
Sorry:
Read "plumber" not a fat plumber who may be a "plumper!"
What is the maximum distance that you can be from the sewer line so that you don't have to hook up? Can anyone answer that?
Puting this poor guy through this, as he is rapidly approaching retirement age, is absolutely criminal on Fehrman's part!!!
Let us not forget our good little "public servant" Doug Baer, who is bursting his britches to stick it to poor guys like your friend, for no other reason than that it will provide an avenue to expand his bureaucratic power base!
What is the maximum distance that you can be from the sewer line so that you don't have to hook up? Can anyone answer that?
Using St. Leon as a example:
It is not relavant how far your home is from the sewer line, but how far your property line is from the sewer line.
Regardless of the impending costs to the homeowner.
There is absolutely no provision written by the DCRSD, that they would entertain "any" exceptions to mandatory sewer hook-ups.
This person near Fehrman's subdivision, was told, regardless of his set back and other problems, to just get a loan to pay for the costs of the forced hook-ups.
This person near Fehrman's subdivision, was told, regardless of his set back and other problems, to just get a loan to pay for the costs of the forced hook-ups.
Cold blooded greed!
"There is absolutely no provision written by the DCRSD, that they would entertain "any" exceptions to mandatory sewer hook-ups."
Why do you think Ewbanks is dragging his feet relative to the "no forced hook-ups" letter?
He does not want to queer the DCRSD's attempts to force hook-ups, because more development would directly profit his legal and land title interests!
But, development interests have not taken control of Dearborn County Government!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or so we are all lectured!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. EMA- Bill Black received signatures on the $150,000 exercise grant from Homeland Security for exercises to be done at Muscatatuck on Oct 27th for Homeland Security. This is in addition to the $450-500,000 they already have in Homeland Security grants.
So, what would happen if terroristic cells knock out our power...would only those on water and gravity sewers systems, with municipal backup powered generators and those still on septic systems be able to flush their toilets?
Fehrmans serfs would be left to do what bears do in the woods?
Inquiring minds need to know!
The inability to flush your toilets on occasions, is a small price to pay to keep Brett in the realtor/developer business!
Soon, many of us will be able to list Brett as a dependant on our taxes!
Why do you think Ewbanks is dragging his feet relative to the "no forced hook-ups" letter?
No bigger snake exists than Bob Ewbank.
Lets switch the subject matter to discussing the hot weather we are experiencing today and listen to how Brett is at fault and its because of the forced sewer hookups.
Let us switch to discussing how the weather we are experiencing today and consider what would happen if we lost electrical service due to a power surge.
We still could not flush our commodes thanks to Brett's greed!
But if you desire to wish away all of the inherent problems and expenses and inequities of what Brett is trying to attempt...
...then knock yourself out!
Poor Brett, he just cannot escape the wages of his sins!
Poor Brett, he just cannot escape the wages of his sins!
So, making a profit is bad to you stooges?
So, making a profit is bad to you stooges?
You are literally stealing from the neighbors of your subdivision!
"Stooges," such as yourselves, cannot distinguish between profit and ill-gotten gains!
Brett could show he is a man of principle and could come out and state there will be no enforced hook-ups!
If I was a betting man...
...I would not bet on Brett being a principled man!
Lets switch the subject matter to discussing the hot weather we are experiencing today and listen to how Brett is at fault and its because of the forced sewer hookups.
Amazing how the embarrassed child, caught with his hand, once again in the County's Cookie Jar, would like to redirect attention to all the pretty cloud formations in the skies!
Sadly for the child, every formation reminds the onlooker of an embarrassed child with his hand in a Cookie Jar!
Brett longs to be one of the "PLAYERS" in Dearborn County.
He just does not have the "capital" to compete with the real "PLAYERS." So he needs to utilize his political connections to steal from the rest of, to keep up with Dearborn County "Jones!"
I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT HEDRICK IS A CROOK TO IN BED WITH THE THESE DIRT BALLS
I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT HEDRICK IS A CROOK TO IN BED WITH THE THESE DIRT BALLS
Specifics?
For the goon that keeps talking about brett, the specifics are Brett Fehrman and forced sewer hook ups.
Had to say it before that person did.
For the goon that keeps talking about brett, the specifics are Brett Fehrman and forced sewer hook ups.
Shhhhh!!!
Brett wants everyone to forget that he is doing his best to stick it to those surrounding his proposed subdivision to increase his bottom line.
Now, Brett...
...there's a first class goon!
He seems to distain folks pointing out what he is truly doing...
...but so did Capone!
Now, back to the specifics concerning Hedrick?
"For the goon that keeps talking about brett,"
Oh, I see if you are against stealing from one's neighbors to subsidize your subdivisions, you are a "goon!"
But, if you are for stealing from one's neighbors to subsidize your subdivisions, you are a "visionary!"
Any elected official that gives Brett one single dime of the taxpayers' money for his sewers, either needs his or her head examined or their bank account scrutinized!
Brett is getting desperate with the up coming elections looming over his head!
"Had to say it before that person did."
CONGRATULATIONS!! YOU POINTED OUT THAT BRETT IS A THIEVING LOWLIFE BEFORE THE “GOON” DID!
AS LONG AS THE WORD KEEPS GETTING OUT!
GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, whatever I can do to keep the goofy Brett Fehrman and forced sewer hook up discussion going.
I was worried that people were going to back off it.
Thanks, whatever I can do to keep the goofy Brett Fehrman and forced sewer hook up discussion going.
Oh!
You are quite welcome!
So what are your feelings on Brett forcing all those poor people, at great expense, onto his sewers to subsidize his subdivision?
The truth?
I'm sure Brett is not reading any of this!
He is probably going through his mom's purse as we type!
this is why i am glad i found this blog it is nice knowing other guys are tired of all the crap going on in this county
the goofy Brett Fehrman
BINGO!!!
this is why i am glad i found this blog it is nice knowing other guys are tired of all the crap going on in this county

Then get off your ass and do something about it.
Then get off your ass and do something about it.
What makes you thing he is sitting on his ass?
Or are you just concerned if he is on his ass, it is harder for you to get to his wallet!
"So what are your feelings on Brett forcing all those poor people, at great expense, onto his sewers to subsidize his subdivision?
The truth?"
Slimeballs such as Brett do not give a lick about these "poor people," they just want them to shut up and support realtor/developers such as DCRSD's Board Members Fehrman and Maxwell with their development dreams!
"Then get off your ass and do something about it."
Right!
This guy needs to "get off his ass," run for election in the republican primary, win, then have Brett's republican friends in the county republican leadership run a democrat against him in the general election!
Brett!
You and your friends just can't do anything on the "up and up!"
How in the world are Fox and Hughes going to run in the primary this year?
They are already on record that they will spit in the rank and file's eye if they don't vote for the "Development's" choice of flunkies!!!
These corrupt SOBs are willing to split the vote 10 ways to Sunday, to keep "Development" interests entrenched in County positions of power!
Brett!
You and your friends just can't do anything on the "up and up!"
Brett and friends most certainly have a fairly atrocious track record when it comes to feathering their own beds at the expense of the rest of us!
"I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT HEDRICK IS A CROOK TO IN BED WITH THE THESE DIRT BALLS"
Would someone please explain this comment from above?
Would someone please explain this comment from above?
I'm thinking it is just a "drive-by" post by some angry realtor/developer associated with the VRUC!
From what I have seen and heard of Hedrick, he is fair to "everyone" which is totally alien to the development crowd who want to hold all the cards!
Hedrick is a proponent of impact or development fees, so existing utility customers do not have to take big hits in their utility rates if a politically connected realtor or developer desides to build any project that would tax the already existing infrastructure!
And of course, that does not fit into the "business models" of some realtor/developers who think the rest of us should subsidize their real estate ventures!
"Hedrick is a proponent of impact or development fees..."
Brett thinks impact fees are unnessary while he has his flunky Doug Baer ready and willing to send out "Forced Hook-up" letters to all those surrounding his projects!!!
Having his neighbors spending upwards of $40,000.00 to connect to his sewers sure beats him paying 3500.00 in impact fees per home!
It is better that the rest of us try to recoup these large expenditures when we try to sell our homes, than Brett having to try to sell homes with an additional $3500.00 of costs to recoup!
It would be "selfish" for the rest of us not to "bite the bullet" in order for Brett to realize as much profit as possible from his subdivision!
with an additional $3500.00 of costs to recoup!
That is far less than the price of a single grinder pump!
Why doesn't fehrman just hook up with other developers on 50 and pool their resourses. It would seem ecomomies of scale would provide them with enough capital to run sewers to their individual projects, without extorting money from those already living around where he and others intends to build?
YOU ASSES!!!!!!!
IT WOULD COST BRETT AN EXTRA 420 THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!!
HOW IS THAT FAIR, ASSES!!!!!
For comparisons sake:
Let's compare the costs to 120 homes, already on functioning septic systems, Brett would coerce onto his sewers at a conservative estimate of $15,000.00 per home!
That adds up to $1,800,000.00!
How's that for fundamental fairness?
Or are only realtors and developers permitted to do a cost/benefit analysis?
IT WOULD COST BRETT AN EXTRA 420 THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!!
Where did that figure come from?
He was undoubtly speaking to Brett's 120 lot proposed subdivision on 50, times the $3500.00 development fee charged by Greendale.
Are you guys just mad at Brett because he wouldn't agree to sell your house. Probably because you wanted to much for the house and it wasn't worth the price. Trying to make too much of a profit on your house?
Are you guys just mad at Brett because he wouldn't agree to sell your house. Probably because you wanted to much for the house and it wasn't worth the price. Trying to make too much of a profit on your house?
Do you have a reading disability?
This is about Brett wanting others to subsidize his sewers for his subdivision.
A fairly simple concept!
If Brett tommorrow states he will not push for "enforced hook-ups," then the heat will be off him!
But Brett does not want to pay impact or development fees...
...he, defacto, wants the rest of us to!
Thus, he is pushing "enforced hook-ups!
This is about Brett wanting others to subsidize his sewers for his subdivision.
Why bother!!!!!!! They will continue to dance around the existent issue, because they cannot possibly defend nor support what Brett is doing. Their constant need to redirect attention from their self-inflicted forced hookup quandary and all its attendant embarrassments, shame and ignominy, borders on the pathological!
But crooks are fun to tweak!!!
"Are you guys just mad at Brett because he wouldn't agree to sell your house. Probably because you wanted to much for the house and it wasn't worth the price. Trying to make too much of a profit on your house?"
Obtuse post of the year.
Agree to sell the house? Look at how many Fehrman's have listed. I think they go for quantity of listings and not quality listings.
It would seem "Fehrman Signs" are on properties the longest of any other Company, until another Realty Company steps in and sells them!
Hey Brett!
This could happen to us!
How would we flush if forced on your substandard sewers?

"I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT HEDRICK IS A CROOK TO IN BED WITH THE THESE DIRT BALLS"
Who is he in bed with?
His opponent is Hrezo. He owns Hrezo engineering which is working with the DCRSD and the developers.
Is this someones idea to try to discredit Hedrick to allow Hrezo to get in and tip the balance toward development?

It fits with the scummy way development interests work in this County.
You could not pay them to operate in a fair and above board manner!
Mayor Hedrick is good, decent man.
He is not in the pocket of any special interests.
While he believes development should be encouraged, he notes the fundamental unfairness of forcing existing property owners and untility customers to finance the development of others!
Note:
Bret Fehrmann is running for Aurora City Council.
Is this the kind of person you want in government? If he gets on Council will he try to become the Aurora representative to SDRSD to try to change their opposition to his schemes?
I can't wait to see Brett's bumper stickers:
"VOTE FOR ME OR MOMMA AND POPPA WILL MOVE ME TO DENNERLINE ACRES TRAILER PARK SALES AND RENTALS!"
