BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS I o 0 S I O <br /> i25. 3 <br /> October 5 , 2010 <br /> IIon. E . William Kenyon , Mayor Mr . Gerald C . Hartman, Vice President <br /> Town of Indian River Shores GAI Consultants <br /> 6001 North Highway A- 1 -A 301 East Pine Street, Suite 500 <br /> Indian River Shores , Florida 32963 Orlando , Florida 32801 <br /> RE * Draft Asset Purchase and Franchise Agreement <br /> Dear Mayor Kenyon and Mr . Hartman : <br /> We are in receipt of the draft Asset Purchase and Franchise Agreement sent under cover of Mr . <br /> Hartman ' s letter of September 13 , 2010 . We appreciate the opportunity to address this important <br /> matter with Town officials and representatives . <br /> The County is very interested in providing water and wastewater, including reclaimed water, <br /> service to the Town . However , the draft agreement calls for a closing in early 2011 . As you <br /> known , the Town has an existing franchise agreement with the City of Vero Beach until 2016 . <br /> The County cannot interfere with the City ' s existing franchise rights . Thus , without a waiver <br /> from the City , the County is not in a position to agree to provide services at any time prior to <br /> 2016 , or even seriously to discuss the matter . Perhaps the Town and the County can jointly <br /> approach the City so that solutions can be discussed that are in the best interests of all concerned . <br /> We repeat that the County is very interested in providing service to the Town . However, if the <br /> Town seeks an agreement for service prior to 2016 , then a waiver from the City will be necessary <br /> before the County can engage in serious discussions . <br /> Sincerely , <br /> r <br /> !
