ENGINEER BEINDORF THEN DISCUSSED THE SEWAGE SYSTEM. HE NOTED THAT THE $210,000 SHOWN IN THE ORIGINAL BUDGET WOULD BE THE COST OF TAKING THE SEWAGE TO THE CITY OF VERO BEACH, HE REPORTED THAT SINCE DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE CITY TRYING TO WORK OUT VARIOUS ROUTES TO TIE IN TO THEIR LINES WITHOUT GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE TREATMENT PLANT. FINALLY, IN EARLY OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR, AFTER PAYING FOR ONE STUDY, IT WAS DETERMINED WE COULD NOT TIE INTO THE AIR— PORT, AND THE ONLY OTHER PLACE WOULD BE AT THE HOSPITAL SITE. HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THERE WERE ABOUT TEN OR ELEVEN CONDITIONS TIED INTO THAT SITE, AND AS THESE CONDITIONS WERE STUDIED, IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT WE WERE GOING TO GO OVER THE $210,000 BY A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT — POSSIBLY UP TO ABOUT $380,000. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SECURE FROM THE CITY THE COST OF TREATING THE.SEWAGE, AND HAVE BEEN GETTING NUMEROUS COSTS; WHICH INDICATE THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE MUCH OVER WHAT WE ESTIMATED A YEAR AGO, ENGINEER BEINDORF STATED THAT WE HAVE A POSSIBILITY OF ACQUIRING A 100,000 GPD TREATMENT PLANT, POSSIBLY AT NO CHARGE, SO BASED ON THIS, WE LOOK TOWARDS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. HE CONTINUED THAT IF WE WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN THIS TREATMENT FACILITY FREE OF CHARGE, THEN WE HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE GIFFORD SEWAGE TREATMENT COSTING $250,000 TO $260,000 IN LIEU OF THE $313,000 SHOWN IN THE REPORT. ENGINEER BEINDORF NEXT REPORTED THAT THEY HAD ORIGINALLY ALLOWED $128,000 FOR EXTENSION OF THE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, AND ARE NOW ESTIMATING $553,000. HE EXPLAINED THAT THIS TIME THEY ARE TRYING o TO SET UP THE SYSTEM WITH METERS FOR EVERY HOUSE AND TO BEEF UP LINES FROM THE ELEVATED STORAGE TANK TO REACH FURTHER AREAS ACROSS U.S. 1. THEY HAVE ALSO INCLUDED HYDRANTS FOR FIRE PROTECTION, AND, OF COURSE, COSTS HAVE INCREASED FROM A YEAR AGO. ENGINEER BEINDORF EXPLAINED THAT IN THE BIDDING THEY SET UP AREAS A THROUGH G, AND ANY OF THESE COULD BE DELETED IF DESIRED. ENGINEER BEINDORF NOTED THAT ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE BOARD AUTHORIZED THE ENGINEERS TO PREPARE AN APPLICATION PACKAGE TO FHA FOR AN ADDITIONAL LOAN AND GRANT, AND THEY HAVE NOW PUT TOGETHER SUCH A PACKAGE. IN ORDER TO GET THE $318,000 GRANT, THEY HAVE SUGGESTED THE COUNTY BORROW $235,000. HE NOTED THAT THIS WOULD SUPPLY MONEY TO RENOVATE 46 em 37 ��: NOVA 51978
