Mr. Parisot made motion, seconded by Mr. Harris, to approve the funding request. 5 yeas.

Mr. Parisot stated there were some misplaced modifiers in the document and posed a concern about language which allows the Town to adjust the 5% collection fee by way of a town ordinance. Mr. Parisot said he sent emails to both Mr. Dowd and Town officials regarding this issue. He recommended Section XII be amended to read: Town of Shalimar utility taxes on water and sewer services according to governing Town of Shalimar ordinances will be collected and disbursed to the Town by the County after a reasonable collection fee not to exceed 5% of collected taxes. Mr. Dowd agreed with Mr. Parisot and noted this is a minor modification. Mr. Littrell stated the modified agreement will be returned to the Town Council for approval. Mr. Parisot made motion, seconded by Mr. Boyles, to approve the interlocal agreement with the Town of Shalimar with the modifications proposed by Mr. Parisot. 5 yeas.
