r OCT 2 41979 BOOK 1 PAGE 798 sewer, water lines, etc. It is foreseeable that there may be impact fees charged based upon a Study now in progress with the City. Likewise, the County may es- tablish necessary ordinances to fund County or out - city improvements whether it be through taxing district, impact fees, contributions, loans, grants, etc. 7. It is intended that service, both water and sewer, will be phased on an orderly basis and that the City will not be required to serve customers some distance away without also providing for service to the intermediate area. This is important because of the considerations of plant expansion, river crossing, sizing of lines, etc. 8., The City is concerned about the number of customers that they will ultimately serve in their new territory. In order to provide assurances and since the Comprehensive Land Use plan probably will not be adopted for approximately a year, the assurances may well be based on the present Comprehensive Land Use Plan as presently adopted. 9. As to the U. S. 1 corridor which is primarily the area designated by the County for the 600,000 G.P.D. allocation, we will need to work out a joint program that will allow the area to develop yet phase in both County sewer and water services within a reasonable time table. I mentioned before that sewer might be served from an interim plant in the area and water availability should well come from the new water plant recently authorized by the County Commission. 10. The concepts, as outlined in this Memorandum, shall be reduced to writing, signed by all the interested parties, including the Town of Indian River Shores, County, City of Vero Beach, Hospital District, and other parties to the various annexes that have been signed since 1973. The agreements shall contain assurances that each governmental agency will move ahead in an expeditious fashion. The County will have the responsibility of proceeding with additional engineering studies, com- pletion of the 201 Facilities Plan, etc., all indicating the County's ability to accept the sewer and water facilities at a time certain in the future. 11. There are certain areas in the new territory which would require prompt attention by the City of Vero Beach. One such area would be the condominiums South, and the Town of Indian River South of Fred Tuerk Drive, and those condominiums and single-family residences in the unincorporated portion of the County between the Town of Indian River Shores and the City of Vero Beach. A second area would be those residences South of the Moorings in regard to water service. We should identify the immediate problems and then strive to work with one another to resolve them. 12. As time goes on it will be necessary for the County and, visa versa, the City to purchase systems owned by the other and the purchase price for the capital improvements will not be fair market value at time of the purchase but the actual costs to the governmental entity of the system, less some reasonable depreciation. Many of the systems have been and will be contributed to the governmental agency free of cost. Any unused part of the system, such as a sewer plant which would not become a part of the Vero Beach system, would remain in the ownership of the prior governmental agency for reallocation to some other needed area or for salvage value. -3-
