ENGINEER JAMES BEINDORF CAME BEFORE THE BOARD TO DISCUSS <br />6TH AVENUE -12TH STREET SEWER HOOK-UP PROCEDURES. HE NOTED THAT THE <br />CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF VERO BEACH, THE COUNTY AND VERO MALL <br />HAD PROVISIONS THAT WHEN THE TIME CAME, WE COULD TAKE OVER THE <br />WATER LINES WITHOUT SEWER OR VICE VERSA. IN THIS CASE, WE ARE TALK- <br />ING ABOUT SEWER LINES WITHOUT WATER LINES. MR. REINDORF NOTED THAT <br />THE AGREEMENT REQUIRED THE DEVELOPER TO POST A CHECK TO PUT IN A <br />SEWAGE METER IF AND WHEN THE TIME CAME TO METER RAW SEWAGE AT THE <br />VERO BEACH TREATMENT PLANT, HE STATED THAT ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED <br />TO DO IS TO NOTIFY THE CITY THAT THE COUNTY WISHES TO TAKE THE SEWAGE <br />MAIN OVER AND IT WILL BE THE COUNTY'S RESPONSIBILITY, BUT BEFORE <br />ACTUAL ACCEPTANCE OR TAKING OVER BY THE COUNTY, THE METER SHOULD BE <br />INSTALLED IN THE METER BOX THAT ALREADY HAS BEEN PLACED AT THE TREAT- <br />MENT PLANT. <br />ENGINEER BEINDORF CONTINUED THAT THE COUNTY IS GOING TO HAVE <br />TO ESTABLISH LOCATIONS WHERE TIE -ONS CAN BE MADE TO THE 6" SEWER MAIN, <br />AND THEY HAVE A PLAN UNDER DESIGN FOR THAT PURPOSE BECAUSE THESE <br />LINES SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED INDISCRIMINATELY. HE NOTED THAT THE <br />CITY OF VERO BEACH WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW THESE TIE -ONS. <br />ENGINEER BEINDORF FURTHER NOTED THAT THE COUNTY WILL NEED TO <br />ESTABLISH A RATE TO CHARGE THEIR FUTURE CUSTOMERS AND ALSO NEEDS TO <br />CONSIDER WHETHER THEY WANT TO CHARGE A TIE-IN FEE SIMILAR TO THE CITY. <br />THIS NEEDS TO BE DECIDED BEFORE ANYONE CAN BE ALLOWED TO TIE 'ON TO <br />THE SEWAGE LINE, AND THERE ARE SEVERAL WHO WILL BE MAKING A REQUEST <br />SOON, MR. BEINDORF COMMENTED THAT THE CITY MAY HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE <br />RATES THEY WOULD CHARGE. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT RATES MUST BE SET <br />BY ORDINANCE, AND SINCE WE NOW NEED AN ESTABLISHED RATE FOR THE SEWER <br />ON 6TH AVENUE, HE FELT THE TIME HAS COME WHEN THE COUNTY SHOULD ADOPT <br />THE CONCEPT OF A UNIFORM RATE STRUCTURE FOR THE ENTIRE UNINCORPOR- <br />ATED AREA OF THE COUNTY, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE THE MID FLORIDA SYSTEM, <br />-GIFFORD, PEBBLE BAY, 6TH AVENUE, ETC., ALL UNDER ONE COMPREHENSIVE <br />RATE ORDINANCE. <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED HOW WE PROCEED ABOUT THE METER, AND <br />MR, BEINDORF STATED THAT WE NEED TO.ORDER THE METER AND NOTIFY THE <br />CITY WHENEVER WE HAVE THE ORDINANCE THAN CAN BE ACTED UPON.
