presented overviews on Roads and Drainage, Water and Sewer, Health Department, and Project Alternatives and Funding, respectively. Paving and drainage improvements for 66 miles of roadway were recommended. The water system represents approximately 72 miles of piping. Kimley-Horn’s Evaluation recommended a Gravity Sewer over the Vacuum Sewer System, based on lower operating, maintenance and installation costs and noise/odor issues. The Health Department’s major concern is with ground water and surface water contamination. Funding options were presented with recommendation to proceed with Alternative 3. (CLERK’S NOTE: Chairman Neuberger called a short recess at 10:22 a.m. The meeting reconvened at 10:31 a.m. with all members present) (CLERK’S NOTE: Item 7.C - Chairman read into record and presented to Tina Zayas the Proclamation Commemorating Step Up Florida! at this time.) Director Davis continued his Presentation outlining the proposed roadway and drainage improvements for Vero Lake Estate and Pine Lake Estates Subdivisions. Under discussion, the Board sought clarification on the 72 miles of piping for the water system; and, the feasibility of running the water on utility easements at the back of houses. Staff preferred that storm-water improvements be in the front; it was less expensive. Director Olson recapped the presentation and recommended proceeding with Alternative 3 – installation of both the county water and sewer system, and improvements to road and drainage. Staff will present scenarios to residents in a public meeting and provide feedback to the Board. He also sought guidance from the Board regarding the funding options staff intends to speak to the community about. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowden, the Board unanimously approved Alternative 3: Water, Sewer, Roads, and Drainage at $102 February 14, 2006 21
