_I OCT 101979 alp 41 rr"AGE 650. COMMISSIONER LYONS SUGGESTED WE SETTLE RALMAR'S PROBLEMS FIRST. HE FELT IF WE COULD ARRANGE TO PUT THEM ON THE LINE THAT GOES TO GIFFORD, WE COULD GET THEM IN BUSINESS AND THEN FIGHT OUT THIS OTHER PROBLEM, CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT THERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS INVOLVED WITH THAT SOLUTION, THIS IS NOT IN THE GIFFORD SERVICE AREA WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE U.D.U. SYSTEM. ALSO, IT WILL OPEN THE DOOR TO AN AWFUL LOT OF REQUESTS IN THE SAME AREA, AND HE FELT THE COUNTY'S INTENTION WAS FOR THAT WATER TO BE FOR THE USE OF THE GIFFORD AREA. ATTORNEY JACKSON NOTED THAT THE BOARD COULD JUSTIFY THIS ALLOCATION BECAUSE FLORIDA LIVING CARE IS A TYPE OF BUSINESS REQUIR— ING A CERTIFICATE OF NEED AND IS DIFFERENT THAN THE GENERAL PUBLIC WHO WOULD BE MAKING. THE REQUESTS. HE CONTINUED THAT THE HOSPITAL MASTER PLAN ENCOMPASSED NURSING CARE AND HEALTH RELATED FACILITIES AROUND THE HOSPITAL. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED WHY WE COULDN'T REDUCE OUR 500,000 GALLONS TO 400,000 AND USE 10,000 OUT OF. THAT. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT IF ATTORNEY COOKSEY'S OPINION IS CORRECT, AND HE PERSONALLY DOES CONCUR WITH THAT OPINION, IT EFFECTIVELY MEANS THAT THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL 200,000 OR 300,000 GALLONS THIS BOARD CAN ALLOCATE. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF WE COULD SERVICE FLORIDA LIVING CARE OUT OF THE LINE COMING INTO RALMAR, AND ATTORNEY JACKSON NOTED THAT THIS LINE WAS PURPOSELY OVERSIZED. ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THIS SHOULD BE CONFIRMED BY ENGINEERS, BUT BELIEVED THAT WAS THE INTENT ORIGINALLY. ATTORNEY JACKSON COMMENTED THAT CITY ATTORNEY TOM PALMER FELT IF THE HOSP.ITAL DID NOT NEED THE 100,000 GALLONS, THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. DISCUSSION CONTINUED AS TO THE ACTUAL DEDUCTION OF 500,000 GALLONS, ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THAT THE BOARD CAN RELY ON THE FACT THAT THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL 100,000 GALLONS BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL HAS TAKEN ACTION RELEASING 100,000 GALLONS, AND THE MOST THEY CLAIM AT THIS TIME FOR FUTURE NEEDS WOULD BE 400,000.
