COMMISSIONER LYONS CONTINUED THAT, IN THE MEANTIME, HE HAS BEEN GIVING THIS MORE THOUGHT, AND FEELS THERE IS NO QUESTION BUT THAT WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE AREA BETWEEN THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES AND THE CITY OF VERO BEACH AND THAT WE SHOULD NOT WAIT ANY LONGER. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE THE BOARD TO GO AHEAD AND SEE WHAT WOULD BE INVOLVED IN GETTING THAT 50,000 GALLON ALLOCATION CONNECTED AND GETTING THE PEBBLE BAY PACKAGE PLANT OUT OF BUSINESS. HE STATED THAT IN TALKING TO THE CITY ABOUT HOW THIS COULD BE ENGINEERED, HE LEARNED THAT THEY FELT THERE SHOULD ONLY BE ONE LIFT STATION THERE FOR BOTH INDIAN RIVER SHORES AND THE COUNTY STRIP, WHICH WOULD ENTAIL RUNNING GRAVITY LINES FOR THE WHOLE LENGTH OF THE STRIP. COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED THAT IF THE LIFT STATION WERE PUT ADJACENT TO THE CITY LIMITS, THE COST OF THE GRAVITY. LINES FOR THE COUNTY STRIP WOULD NOT BE ANY MORE WHETHER THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES WERE IN THE PICTURE OR NOT - THE DIFFERENCE WOULD BE IN THE COST OF THE LIFT STATION. HE FURTHER NOTED THAT WE ALSO HAVE THE SITUATION WHERE VERO BEACH WOULD BE PROVIDING WATER TO THE AREA SO WATER AND SEWER WOULD BE GOING TOGETHER. LOMMIS- SIONER LYONS FELT WE SHOULD PROCEED WITH THE 50;000 AND THEN GET ON WITH THE BUSINESS OF TRYING TO ALLOCATE THE REST OF THE 1.39 MILLION. HE NOTED THAT WE HAVE 570,000 ALLOCATED NOW: THAT, PLUS 50,000 TO THE COUNTY STRIP, WOULD BE 620,000 AND WOULD LEAVE 770,000 GALLONS STILL TO BE ALLOCATED. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE OFFICIAL WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE CITY OF VERO BEACH STATING THAT IS THE AMOUNT WE HAVE USED OFF OUR ALLOCATION. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT IF THE NEGOTIATIONS ARE ALLOWED TO PROCEED, THAT THIS WILL COME OUT IN THE NEGOTIATIONS AND THAT IT WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO PROCEED. ATTORNEY COLLINS AGREED. HE STATED THAT HE SHARED COMMIS- SIONER-SIEBERT'S CONCERN, BUT BELIEVED IT WILL BE ADEQUATELY RESOLVED BY THE BOARD MOVING AHEAD. COMMISSIONER LYONS WAS CONFIDENT THAT 570,000 GALLONS IS THE ONLY AMOUNT OFFICIALLY ALLOCATED AND ALSO FELT THERE IS NO QUESTION 10 MAR 71979 .
