CHAIRMAN W.ODTKE FELT THE BOARD IN ADDITION, MUST CONSIDER THE REQUEST FOR WATER SERVICE FROM OLD SUGAR MILL ESTATES AND THE LETTER FROM CITY MANAGER LITTLE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF UTILIZING THE LINE TO THE COLLEGE. THE CHAIRMAN DISCUSSED POSSIBLE REALLOCATION OF THE COLLEGE S WATER OR REQUESTING THEM TO LET SOMEBODY ELSE USE IT. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CITY TAKE THE ENTIRE AREA OUT TO KINGS HIGHWAY AND FELT IT WOULD BE LOGICAL TO ASK THE CITY IF THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. MR. REINFORF AGREED AND NOTED THAT 50% OF THIS AREA IS IN GROVES AND WILL BE LOW DENSITY SO THE COUNTY WOULD NOT BE GIVING UP A GREAT DEAL. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF WE CAN AUTHORIZE.THE CITY TO UTILIZE THE WATER ALLOCATED TO THE COLLEGE. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT THIS COULD NOT BE DONE WITHOUT THE COLLEGES CONSENT. VINCENT MONTUORO, OWNER OF A LOT IN OLD SUGAR MILL ESTATES, FELT THE COLLEGE HAS BEEN ALLOCATED MUCH MORE THAN THEY NEED AND CAN USE WITH THE RESULT THAT THEY CAN T EVEN DRINK THE WATER BECAUSE IT IS STALE FROM STAYING IN THE PIPE SO LONG. HE NOTED THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO DUMP WATER TO FLUSH THE PIPE. MR. MONTUORO FELT WE WOULD BE DOING THE CITY, THE COUNTY AND THE COLLEGE A FAVOR BY UTILIZING SOME OF THIS WATER. ENGINEER BEINDORF FELT IT MIGHT HELP THE SITUATION TO SOME DEGREE AND AGREED THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO USE THE WATER THAN DUMP IT ON THE GROUND. COMMISSIONER Loy CONCURRED, BUT POINTED OUT THAT THE FIGURES ESTIMATED FOR THE COLLEGE WERE GIVEN US BY THE CITY ENGINEER. MR. MONTUORO STATED THAT THE POINT HE IS MAKING IS THAT THE CITY OF VERO BEACH HAS A LARGE ENOUGH LINE AND WATER TO SERVICE THAT WHOLE AREA, COMMISSIONER, SIEBERT FELT WE OUGHT TO ACCEPT THE CITY'S PROPOSAL IN PRINCIPLE, SUGGESTING EXTENSION OF THE PROPOSED AREAS AND THEN LET THE ENGINEERS GET TOGETHER WITH THE CITY TO SEE WHAT CAN BE WORKED OUT. 73M 46
