Siebert, Chairman <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />Indian River County Courthouse <br />P.O. Box 1028 <br />Vero Beach, Fla 32960 <br />Dear Mr. Siebert: <br />In August 1973, the Legislature returned the responsibility of the <br />septic tank program to the Health Department from the then Depart- <br />ment of Pollution Control. <br />At this time the Health Department decided to take over all soil <br />testing and engineering necessary for issuance of septic tank per- <br />mit, and requested from the County Commission the authority to <br />charge a fee to help pay for the extra mileage, clerical work and <br />man hours involved in this added work load. <br />Previous to this, the soil testing had been done by private engineers <br />and surveyors; which had not proved successful. <br />In regular meeting on September 12, 1973, the Board of County Com- <br />missioners unanimously authorized the Indian River County Health <br />Unit to charge up to $50.00 for the issuance of septic tank permits= <br />The fee at that time was set at $35.00, and has not been increased <br />over the past seven years. <br />.1owe er, now due to i d�l�:tio:L, ir.cr�use:. ccv _ of gasolj.ne wn. �.._ <br />amount of time required to devote to this program, we feel it is <br />necessary to increase this fee to the minimal charge of $40.00. <br />If there is no objection, we plan to put this new charge into effect <br />September 15, 1980. <br />We sincerely appreciate your support and cooperation in this very <br />important program, as in all our programs. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />C.
