<br />11.J.2. ST. LUCIE COUNTY’S REQUEST FOR INTERLOCAL <br />AGREEMENT – EMERGENCY SHARING OF WATER AND <br />SEWER <br /> <br />Utility Services Director Erik Olson reviewed his memorandum of January 29, 2004, <br />concerning a request from St. Lucie County to consider furnishing bulk utilities for a <br />temporary period of time. He explained it is prudent to have interlocal agreements with <br />nearby departments for emergency needs. An 8-year old agreement we currently have with <br />St. Lucie County is unique in that it covers emergency utilities services and what could be <br />perceived as long term use. He recommended the contract be modified to limit the intent of <br />the agreement to an emergency interconnect only, and not commit to ongoing wholesale <br />bulk utilities. <br />Acting County Administrator Baird concurred with Director Olson’s <br />recommendation. <br />Chairman Ginn, Vice Chairman Neuberger, Commissioners Adams, Lowther, and <br />Macht stated their reasons for supporting the recommendation. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, to approve staff’s <br />recommendation. <br /> <br />Bob Johnson <br />, Coral Wind Subdivision, spoke in favor of staff’s recommendation. <br />Discussion ensued. <br /> <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />carried unanimously. (The Interlocal Agreement shall be <br />modified to limit the intent of the agreement as being limited <br />February 3, 2004 27 <br /> <br />
