I '.. CHAIRMAN WODTKE WONDERED IF A 50,000 GALLON ALLOCATION FOR THE UNINCORPORATED AREA WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY OF VERO BEACH WHEN THEY WILL BE SERVICING MORE THAN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA. COMMISSIONER Loy INQUIRED ABOUT THE PROPOSED INDIAN SUMMER PROJECT, AND ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON STATED THAT THEY HAVE PRO- POSED TO PUT MONEY IN ESCROW UNTIL OCTOBER WITH THE PROVISION THAT IF, AT THAT TIME, WE ARE CONNECTED TO THE CITY SYSTEM, THEY GET THEIR MONEY BACK. HE CONTINUED THAT THEY WERE INFORMED THAT IF THEY PUT UP THIS MONEY, THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO PROCEED WITH BIDS ON A SURGE TANK WHICH DEFINITELY WILL BE NEEDED IF INDIAN SUMMER SHOULD TIE ONTO THE PEBBLE BAY SYSTEM. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THEIR CHANCES BECAUSE WE DON T KNOW WHEN WE WILL HOOK ONTO THE CITY SYSTEM. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT APPARENTLY WHAT COMMIS- SIONER LYONS WOULD LIKE'RIGHT NOW IS TO BE AUTHORIZED TO EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF PUTTING THE UNINCORPORATED AREA, PLUS THE EXISTING COUNTY CUSTOMERS IN THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES, ONTO THE CITY SERVICE. COMMISSIONER LYONS AGREED, ArND REITERATED THAT THE ONE FEELING THEY DID GET FROM THE CITY WAS THEIR DESIRE FOR A SINGLE LIFT STATION AND GRAVITY LINES. HE ASKED IF THE BOARD WISHED TO EXPLORE THE 6TH AVENUE SITUATION. CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME ANSWERS FROM THE 201 STUDY FIRST, AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT AGREED. ATTORNEY COLLINS ' FURTHER NOTED THAT WE ALSO ARE WAITING FOR AN ENGINEERING REPORT ON THE 6TH AVENUE AREA. COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT, WITH THE BOARD'S PERMISSION, HE WILL PROCEED TO EXPLORE POSSIBILITIES REGARDING THE COUNTY STRIP PLUS WHATEVER IS CONNECTED TO THE PEBBLE BAY PACKAGE PLANT, BUT HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE TOTAL ALLOCATION SHOULD BE FOR THAT. THE CHAIRMAN SUGGESTED THAT HE WORK ON THE BASIS OF 50,000 FOR THE UNINCORPORATED AREA AND ANOTHER 50,000 FOR THE.INDIAN RIVER SHORES SERVICE AREA. CHAIRMAN WODTKE THEN DISCUSSED SETTING UP•A WORKSHOP MEETING WITH CONNELL, METCALF & EDDY ON MONDAY, MARCH 19, 1979.
