Camille Jourdan-Mark was present on behalf of Michigan Adventure and questioned since they are in both Dalton and Fruitland Townships how does this affect their being specially assessed by Dalton for the sanitary sewer when most of the sewage would be generated in Fruitland. The attorney stated that Fruitland Township does not have the sewer utilities available to offer connections; therefore, Dalton will provide the sewer and Fruitland cannot charge them for service that they already have, or stated differently, Fruitland cannot reassess a benefit already provided. The attorney stated that Fruitland Township may wish to bill Michigan Adventure for sewer usage. Many questions and concerns were presented by those present. Mr. Brumm of Woodworkers Unlimited and C & M Storage, was present to question the number of REU's calculated at this business. The attorney stated that the number of REU's at this address does seem excessive and stated that the roll can still be confirmed as we still have the ability to correct errors.
