SEP 101990 BOOK 44 PAGE 539 <br />MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COM- <br />MISSIONER Loy, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 80-92, MAKING A 400,000 GPD <br />SEWER ALLOCATION TO THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. <br />VERO BEACH CITY COUNCILMAN DAVID GREGG TOOK THE FLOOR <br />AND NOTED THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION OBVIOUSLY INFERS THAT THERE <br />WAS NO ALLOCATION GRANTED AND NO MEETING OF THE MINDS REGARDLESS OF <br />THE AGREEMENT. HE THEN PROCEEDED TO GIVE A DETAILED HISTORY OF <br />HOW THE TRIPARTITE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY, THE CITY OF VERO <br />BEACH, AND THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT, CAME ABOUT AND WAS ENTERED INTO, <br />QUOTING*FROM VARIOUS LETTERS AND REPORTS DATED THROUGH 1976, WHICH <br />REFERRED TO THE 500,000 GPD ALLOCATION. HE NOTED THAT APPARENTLY <br />THERE WAS NO FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE 500,000 GPD ALLOCATION UNTIL <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS BECAME INVOLVED WITH DISCUSSION WITH THE TOWN OF <br />INDIAN RIVER SHORES ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO. MR. GREGG STATED THAT HE <br />TOLD MR. LYONS IF THE COUNTY WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE 340,000 GPD OF <br />WASTE WATER TREATMENT FROM THEIR ALLOCATION FOR INDIAN RIVER SHORES, <br />HE WOULD BE RECEPTIVE TO RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THEY <br />FIND 100,000 GPD TO GIVE INDIAN RIVER SHORES, WHICH WOULD ADD UP TO <br />A TOTAL OF 440,000 GPD, OF WHICH APPROXIMATELY 50,000 GPD WOULD BE <br />FOR THE UNINCORPORATED AREA NORTH OF THE CITY LIMITS. MR. GREGG <br />COMMENTED THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME MR. LYONS BROUGHT UP THE <br />QUESTION OF THE HOSPITAL ALLOCATION AND SAID THERE WAS NONE. HE <br />INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE DID GO TO THE CITY ATTORNEY TO VERIFY <br />WHETHER THERE WERE ANY LEGAL DOCUMENTS VERIFYING THE 500,000 GPD <br />ALLOCATION, AND NONE CAN BE FOUND ALTHOUGH HE HAS GONE THROUGH THE <br />HOSPITAL RECORDS, THE CITY RECORDS, AND THE COUNTY COMMISSION <br />RECORDS. HE COMPLIMENTED THE COUNTY ON THEIR RECORD KEEPING. <br />MR. GREGG THEN RECAPPED, STATING THAT THE CITY TOOK THE <br />HOSPITAL AS A PERMANENT SERVICE TERRITORY; THERE WAS NO BUY-BACK <br />PROVISION; AND THE COUNTY CANNOT COME BACK IN AND TAKE IT AS IN THE <br />VERO MED AND RALMAR AGREEMENTS. HE CONTINUED THAT THEY HAVE ALWAYS <br />BEEN UNDER THE IMPRESSION IN DISCUSSION WITH COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES <br />THAT THE CITY TOOK THE AREA FOR WHAT IT EVER MIGHT BE, WHETHER <br />103 <br />
