DISCUSSION FOLLOWED, AND IT WAS NOTED THAT VERO MALL IS THE ONLY ONE ON THE 6TH AVENUE SEWER LINE AT PRESENT. COMMISSIONER LYONS DID NOT KN0W WHY WE HAVE TO HOLD UP TROPIC GROVES, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THE BOARD COULD GIVE WHATEVER APPROVAL IS NECESSARY AND THEN LET COUNTY OFFICIALS WORK THE MATTER OUT WITH CITY OFFICIALS. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT AGAIN EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE REQUIRE- MENT FOR THE SEWAGE METER AND SOME CONCRETE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY IN THIS REGARD. ENGINEER ROBBINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT IN THEIR TECHNICAL DISCUSSION WITH CITY MANAGER LITTLE, HE STATED THAT HIS RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL WOULD BE TO ALLOW THE COUNTY TO UTILIZE THE FORCE MAIN PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION OF THE METER AS LONG AS A DOCUMENT IS SUBMITTED TRANSFERRING THE LINE TO THE COUNTY AND ASSURING THAT THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE SOME MEANS OF METERING THE FLOW IN THE FORCE MAIN AND THAT CITY PERSONNEL WOULD ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE METER READINGS; IN OTHER WORDS, THERE WOULD BE A TEMPORARY METHOD OF READING SEWAGE LOADS, AND ALL PEOPLE WHO WERE ALL0WED TO TIE IN ON A TEMPORARY BASIS WOULD BE EITHER ON A COMMUNITY SYSTEM OR SOME METERED WATER SYSTEM. SEWAGE WOULD BE BILLED ON A BASIS OF 100% OF WATER USE. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THERE IS NOT ANOTHER CITY COUNCIL MEETING BETWEEN NOW AND MARCH 31ST, UNLESS THEY HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING, AND HE DID NOT SEE HOW THE COUNTY CAN TELL TROPIC GROVE THEY CAN HOOK UP WITHOUT THE CITY'S APPROVAL. MR. BEINDORF COMMENTED THAT A LITTLE OVER $400,000 HAS BEEN SPENT ON THE TROPIC GROVE PROJECT, INCLUDING A SYSTEM WHICH SHOULD BE READY TO BE TIED ON BY MARCH 31ST, AND TROPIC GROVES IS SAYING IF THERE IS ANY WAY IT CAN BE DONE, THEY NEED HELP. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT ALL OF US ARE COGNIZANT OF THE MONEY SITUATION THESE DAYS AND STATED HE WOULD HAVE NO OBJECTION TO ASKING MAYOR SCURLOCK IF THE COUNCIL WOULD ACT IF WE HAD AN AGREEMENT WE COULD GIVE THEM WHICH WOULD OPEN UP THE TROPIC GROVE MATTER.
