MR. CRONIN ASKED IF A TWO -FOLD STUDY COULDN'T BE DONE IN THE SAME TIME FRAME, AND CHAIRMAN WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT WE ARE WORKING ON A WATER SITUATION FOR A VERY LARGE AREA WHILE MR. CRONIN IS TALKING ABOUT A VERY SMALL SEGMENT OF THIS AREA. MR. CRONIN REQUESTED THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR ADDRESS A LETTER TO HIM WHICH HE COULD SUPPLY TO HIS BANK AND FINANCIAL BACKERS EXPLAINING ABOUT THE MORATORIUM. ADMINISTRATOR .JENNINGS STATED THAT HE WOULD WRITE MR. COHEN SUCH A LETTER. FRANK ZORC CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND STATED THAT HE REPRESENTS SEVERAL PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE SOUTH COUNTY AREA AND JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT THE STUDY FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS IS ONLY FOR WATER AND THAT IT ACTUALLY MIGHT BE TWO TO FIVE YEARS BEFORE THE COUNTY IS IN THE WORKING SEWER BUSINESS. THE CHAIRMAN FELT IT MAY VERY WELL BE A NUMBER OF YEARS BEFORE WE GET INTO A COUNTYWIDE SEWER PROGRAM. HE POINTED OUT THAT THE "201" STUDY HAS NEVER BEEN COMPLETED. WE PRESENTLY ARE OPERATING SUBSTANTIALLY UNDER A REGION I AND REGION 2 APPROACH TO WATER TREATMENT AND THE SOUTH COUNTY IS SUPPOSEDLY IN A REGION WHICH IS TO BE TREATED BY THE CITY PLANT. THE CHAIRMAN FELT THAT UNTIL ALL THESE THINGS ARE CLARIFIED, WE NEED TO ADDRESS WATER SEPARATELY FROM SEWER, MR. ZORC ASKED IF THIS MORATORIUM WOULD RESTRICT PROPERTY OWNERS FROM PUTTING IN INDIVIDUAL PACKAGE PLANTS, AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT IF A FRANCHISE IS NEEDED,IT WILL. RICHARD HARKINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE WORKS FOR A FIRM I� REPRESENTING SEVERAL DEVELOPERS IN THIS AREA, AND MR. COHEN IS ONE �i OF THEIR CLIENTS. HE STATED THAT DEVELOPERS ASSOCIATED WITH THREE ADJACENT PARCELS IN THIS AREA HAVE BEEN IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH INDIAN RIVER UTILITIES IN REGARD TO SUPPLYING WATER T0. THEIR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS, AND, CONCEPTUALLY,*.AT LEAST,'A SERVICE AGREEMENT HAS BEEN WORKED OUT. HE ASKED IF IT WOULD NOT BE FEASIBLE TO ALLOW INDIAN RIVER UTILITIES TO EXPAND TO SERVE THIS ONE PARTICULAR AREA, 22 JUL 0 5 197 LL�a. y
