REQUEST DOT TO CHECK INTO PEOPLE DIVING FROM MAINTENANCE LADDER OF THE 17TH STREET BRIDGE COMMISSIONER WODTKE REQUESTED THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR CONTACT THE DOT BECAUSE HE HAS OBSERVED A CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF BOTH ADULTS AND TEENAGERS CLIMBING ON THE MAINTENANCE LADDER OF THE 17TH STREET BRIDGE AND DIVING FROM THE PLATFORM INTO THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY. HE WAS CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE WILL BE HURT, AND FELT THIS SHOULD BE DISCOURAGED. ADMINISTRATOR NELSON STATED THAT HE WILL CHECK INTO THIS. DISCUSSION RE HOSPITAL SEWER ALLOCATION - RESOLUTION 80-92 COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED THAT IN HIS EFFORTS TO REACH AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF VERO BEACH AND THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES RE A SEWER ALLOCATION FOR INDIAN RIVER SHORES, THE HOSPITAL ALLOCATION NOW HAS COME INTO THE PICTURE. IN REVIEWING THE COUNTY'S ALLOCATIONS, HE HAS FOUND THAT WE HAVE AN AWFUL LOT OF SEWAGE CAPACITY TIED UP WHICH NOBODY IS USING. THE HOSPITAL HAS A FLOW OF ABOUT 125,000 GPD AT THE PRESENT TIME, AND COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT IT IS HARD FOR HIM TO BELIEVE THAT ANY TIME IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE IT WOULD DOUBLE ITS PRESENT FLOW, AND A TIME WHEN IT WOULD TRIPLE THAT FLOW IS ALMOST BEYOND THE REALM OF IMAGINATION. COMMISSIONER LYONS CONTINUED THAT HE HAS RESEARCHED THE ACTUAL ALLOCATION TO THE HOSPITAL AND HAS FOUND THAT THERE IS NO OFFICIAL ALLOCATION. THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT STATES THAT THE CITY OF VERO BEACH WOULD SERVE THE HOSPITAL SITE AND THAT THE COUNTY WOULD GIVE AN ALLOCATION AND BASED ON THAT, HE WOULD LIKE TO SETTLE THE PROBLEM BY SUGGESTING AN ALLOCATION OF 400,000 GPD FOR THE HOSPITAL. COMMISSIONER LYONS THEN READ ALOUD A PROPOSED RESOLUTION WHEREBY THE COUNTY WOULD FORMALLY ALLOCATE 400,000 GPD TO THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT AND, IF THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT'S PREPARED UTILITY STUDY INDICATED THAT THEIR MAXIMUM NEEDS WERE LESS THAN 400,000 GPD, THEN ANY DIFFERENCE WOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE COUNTY TO BE REALLOCATED BY THE COUNTY. 102 eooK 4 �,�F 5.�8 SEP 101990
