7. PIIA.SING OUT OF EXISTING WRED Oil OPEITATED BY OTHERS In order to comply with regulations promulgated by the State of Florida Department of Pollution Control and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, It is essential that all existing sewage treatment plants. within Region Il, whether privately or municipally owned, whether under franchised operation or not, be phased out at the earliest possible date and services provided by such plants be connected either to the County System or directly to the City System. Both parties hereto pledge to exert every possible effort to accomplish centralized operation. Since none of the existing plants are within the City's legal limits or jurisdiction. it would appear that the County, either directly or through specially created Authorities, would be the only agency legally em- powered to undertake the control or acquisition of private plants. L TERM OF AGREEMENT This agreement shall remain in force and effect for a period of ten years front date hereof, or until such time as the review hereinafter specified shall cause both parties to modify, alter or terminate. Either party may request the review hereinafter described. On or before January 1, 1978, the parties hereto agree to cause an engineering report to be prepared by their respective Consulting Engineers, reviewing all phases of the operation to date of the reports, including but not limited to: - A. Capacities of water and sewage plants and probable needs for capital improvements to increase capacity, modify or increase degree of treatment; or to comply with latest requirements of regulatory agencies, Federal or. State. having jurisdiction. $. Recommended capital contribution by the County toward capital expansions should need be iadicated as above and recommended by the Consulting Fnpaeem C. Develop a program for future service, based on one or more of the following concepts: b 1. Continue joint operation under a revised agreement. �,j• 2. County proceed with water supply and/or treatment and/or sewage treatment facilities as a County` -t) y G enterprise, making capacity then available to the City, obviating or reducing the need for capital expansion on the City's behalf. 9. RATES AND CHARGES A. Bulk Water Sales At the end of each City fiscal year, the total cost of producing treated water during the preceding year will be determined from the City's fiscal audit report. The total yearly cost will consist of the sum of the following items: 1. The debt service (principal and Interest payments) on a principal sum as calculated below on the City's Invest- ment in water production and treatment facilities. 2. Operation and maintenance costs for water production and treatment. 3. All other costs and/or investments reasonably attributable to the expense of the production of treated water. The total yearly cost will then be divided by the total volume of treated water produced during the period of the audit report, to establish a unit cost. The unit cost multiplied by 11ro will establish the monthly charge for water purchased by the County during the next year, except that when the next i� year's cost has been established. the total charge for water purchased during the 52 year year will be adjusted to the actual cost plus 10ai for the preceding year. and the CYD County will be credited or debited accordingly. For the purpose of establishing a principal sum for annual debt service com- icr. putations, the value of the City's water supply and treatment facilities will
