J <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT INFORMED THE BOARD THAT SOME CLARIFICA- <br />TION. IS NECESSARY IN REGARD TO THE STATEMENT ON PAGE 2 THAT THE CITY <br />OF VERO'BEACH HAS BUDGETED A 24" LINE FROM THE TREATMENT PLANT TO ROUTE <br />60 FOR THE COMING YEAR. ACTUALLY THIS IS FOR A TREATED WATER LINE SO <br />CONSTRUCTION OF A RAW WATER LINE STILL WOULD BE NECESSARY. COMMISSIONER <br />SIEBERT CONTINUED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DID ADDRESS THIS MATTER AT THEIR <br />MEETING LAST NIGHT; THEY CONCEPTUALLY APPROVE THE IDEA OF SWAPPING RAW <br />WATER FOR TREATED WATER AND WOULD BE WILLING TO SIT DOWN AND TALK ABOUT <br />IT. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT ONE OF THE KEYS TO THIS <br />PROPOSAL IS THE SEWER ALLOCATION.OF 125,000 GPD, AND HE SUGGESTED THE <br />BOARD MIGHT CONSIDER USING 125,000 GPD OUT OF THE APPROXIMATELY 600,000 <br />GPD ALLOCATED ON 6TH AVENUE SINCE WE ULTIMATELY WOULD BE GETTING TREATED <br />WATER IN RETURN. <br />DEAN LUETHJE, ENGINEER REPRESENTING ARTHUR WILSON, DISPLAYED <br />A MAP SHOWING THE PROPOSED ROUTE OF THE RAW WATER LINE. HE NOTED THAT <br />THERE IS A CONDUIT UNDER ROUTE 60 INTENDED FOR A RAW WATER LINE AND <br />STATED THEY WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND THE LINE FROM THE MCANSH PARK AREA <br />ACROSS ROUTE 60 ON DOWN TO 12TH STREET AND OVER TO THE HIBISCUS AIRPORT <br />PROPERTY. <br />ENGINEER BEINDORF FELT THAT IF SOMETHING COULD BE WORKED OUT <br />ON AN EQUITABLE BASIS BETWEEN THE CITY, THE COUNTY AND POSSIBLY A THIRD <br />PARTY, WHEREBY THE COUNTY COULD RECEIVE TREATED WATER WHERE IT IS SO <br />BADLY NEEDED, IT IS CERTAINLY WORTH TALKING ABOUT. HE FELT THERE IS <br />EVERYTHING TO GAIN AND NOTHING TO LOSE FROM THE PROPOSAL MADE BY MR. <br />WILSON BECAUSE WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IS A LOT BROADER THAN JUST A SINGLE <br />PROJECT. <br />LENGTHY DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON THE MANY PROBLEMS THAT NEED <br />TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE WE PROCEED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE CITY. IT WAS <br />GENERALLY AGREED THAT WE ARE NOT READY TO TALK AS TWO GOVERNING BODIES <br />UNTIL WE HAVE SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC TO GO ON AND FURTHER ADVICE IS <br />NEEDED FROM THE ENGINEERS, BOTH CITY AND COUNTY, IN REGARD TO THE QUALITY <br />AND QUANTITY OF THE WATER AND THE COSTS INVOLVED, AS WELL AS RECOMMENDA- <br />TIONS AS TO WHAT WOULD BE EQUITABLE FOR ALL PARTIES INVOLVED. <br />BOOK 41 F� <br />J U L 18 1979 53 0 <br />4 <br />
