And leave out all the big words and use pictures so Godfrey/lowus can understand it.

Roger, I am so very happy that we can once again agree on something. "So much for my attempt for an honest debate."

Ed, alzheimer's I think not, maybe too much of that clean fresh NC mountian air. The only contracts I have at my disposal, to refer to, are the South collier and the North Collier contracts and neither have that clause as you stated it. It just doesn't make sense. First, who get's to say what a contractors profit is that's not something that is usually in a contract. Second, there are many, many factors in determining just what a contractor’s to date cost is, who will determine this. I could be wrong and it appears that you don't know yourself as you appear to be working from memory. I think it would be easier if you checked with Butch since that's where it came from.
That said, I think you may be missing my point. Only those that get sewers will pay. It is a fact/law that if you don't receive a special benefit, i.e. sewers, you cannot be specially assessed, it’s the law. This is why the edge to edge paving was pulled from the special assessment; all benefited from the paving all must pay. Regardless of the above, Tigertail and South Barfield are completed and several others will be completed and some others will be started before the end of the year. These districts that are completed will be assessed, and whatever happens after that will depend on the outcome of the next election. Also, while I don’t believe a property can be charged a sewer utility fee until they are required to hookup. I do believe the city can and will assess the property on the tax bill.
IF, a new council is elected and votes to stop the STRP I believe that the only thing that will be stopped are any districts that have not had a shovel placed in the ground because I think that once a new council gets into the legal, financial and far reaching political consequences of calling a halt to all STRP that is under construction they might find the cost to great a price to pay and may decide to clean up what has been started. To me it makes no difference sewers come I pay, they don't come I don't pay. But I believe the people should know everything.

Ed my friend you are living in the past again, step to the present. You are right I would agree if that was indeed the case, but all of the times I have seen a clause in a contract that allows for termination of a contract, its for a reason like failure to start work in a timely manner, failure to maintain proper insurance, poor workmanship and other reasons not in accordance with the terms if the contract. It would be a great contract negotiator who could get a contractor to sign a contract, like let’s say South Collier Blvd for $7.7 that lets the city cancel at any time without reason and without profit. Perhaps you are referring to before the actual start date provided for in the contract, now that I may buy but there still would be some sort of gratuity.
In this case Tigertail and South Barfield are complete and Winterberry, North Barfield and others have been started and the STRP will not be stopped. Just how many more districts do you think will be under construction before next election? Because I believe, after much research, what I have stated in a previous comment to be correct regarding who gets to pay, I truly hope none and I believe the people have the right to know all of the facts.
Remember it was Neylon who got the edge paving removed from the assessment because of the very same laws. No benefit no assessment.

Godfrey, if you don't have anything constructive to say why show your lack of knowledge on the issues at hand.

Lolala, even Bill Moss can't fix that one its state law and charter law. Besides he will be gone remember. Lolala, why not address what will most definitely have an effect on some instead of trying to dance. This could be a serious consideration for some.

geezer, at the risk of having Godrfey Davies tell me that I am talking to myself again I agree with you to some extent. Depending on the outcome of the March election some on Marco Island could be in deep doo, doo. Most of the people involved in this stop the STRP campaign are good people who are being lead on an anything goes propaganda trip. I know many of these people and I respect all of them. It's their leaders with their personal attacks, selfish motives, frivolous law suites, complaints to any agency they think might listen and their spread of misinformation that has divided this island into what it is today. The only thing that will stop the STRP is a new anti-STRP council willing risk the fallout from stopping this sewer project and nothing else, not personal attacks, not frivolous law suites, not POP and not the Recall. What happens will be decided on March 9, 2008 and not before. I say let the dam system work and whatever happens, happens.
The losers in this fracas are everyone on Marco Island.

Strike3 I think I can answer that one; it’s simple, if the new council has the votes they just vote to stop the STRP. Whatever contracts that are out there that are not completed the city attempts to negotiate a settlement or the city gets sued for breach of contract. Either way the city pays.
However, beware because it comes with ramifications. Here's the interesting part. Those taxpayers that are connected to sewers and those that have a sewer connection available get to pay their special assessments. If the STRP is stopped those of us that are lucky enough not to be connected or have no connection available get to pay nothing. It’s the law, it’s in the charter it’s in the Florida statutes, you can't special assess me for something I did not get a benefit from and that's a fact check it out.

Well Godfrey, that's interesting. Last year you told me your blog name was lowus, we even collaborated on a few blogs, did you have a sex change since then.
I may have called you a few choice names in the past, as have many you think are your friends, but stupid was not one of them, so 6'6" and 235 lbs does not concern me.
