SEP 10 1980 Boox 44 PAGE 503 STATUS OF NEGOTIATIONS WITH INDIAN RIVER SHORES, CITY OF VERO BEACH AND COUNTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SEWER COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT AS FAR AS INDIAN RIVER SHORES AND THE COUNTY ARE CONCERNED, THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH IN AGREE- MENT, AND HE THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO BRING TO THE BOARD AN AGREEMENT THAT HAS A GOOD CHANCE OF BEING APPROVED. HE COMMENTED THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS CHANGED A LITTLE IS THAT IF INDIAN RIVER SHORES WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE CONNECTION TO VERO BEACH EARLY ENOUGH IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR WISHES, THAT WE COULD GO AHEAD AND RUN OUR OWN LINE FROM THE PEBBLE BAY LIFT STATION ON TO VERO BEACH. COMMISSIONER LYONS CONTINUED THAT AT THE LAST MEETING, INDIAN RIVER SHORES INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO AGREE TO CONNECT PEBBLE BAY STATION TO THE CITY OF VERO BEACH WITHIN 120 DAYS AFTER THE SIGNING OF THE AGREEMENT; VERO BEACH WAS ALSO IN FAVOR OF THAT BECAUSE THEY FELT THAT WE HAD ENOUGH LINES RUNNING DOWN AIA WITHOUT ADDING TWO SEWER LINES. HE ADDED THAT, IN OTHER WORDS, INDIAN RIVER SHORES WOULD SIZE THE LINE AS THEY CONSIDERED FOR THEIR ULTIMATE NEEDS AND THEN CONNECT US TO THAT LINE AND WE WOULD SIMPLY MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO THAT LINE EQUAL TO THE COST OF A 6" LINE. COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT THERE WERE A NUMBER OF OTHER SMALL THINGS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP, BUT IN GENERAL, INDIAN RIVER SHORES AND THE COUNTY ARE PRETTY CLOSE TO HAVING AN AGREEMENT. HOSPITAL SEWER ALLOCATION COMMISSIONER LYONS REPORTED THAT MR. GREGG, OF THE CITY COUNCIL, FELT HE HAD TO SETTLE THE MATTER OF THE HOSPITAL ALLOCATION BEFORE HE WOULD MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL. HE ADDED THAT MR, GREGG ALSO INDICATED THAT HE WOULD NOTNOW RECOMMEND SOME OF THE THINGS HE HAS RECOMMENDED BEFORE, BASED ON OUR PROPOSAL NOW FOR MAKING THE HOSPITAL ALLOCATION. COMMISSIONER LYONS ADVISED MR. GREGG THAT THIS WAS THE LAST MEETING HE PLANNED TO HAVE ON THE SUBJECT AND WE WOULD PUT THE AGREEMENT TOGETHER AND SUBMIT IT TO THE VARIOUS GOVERNING BODIES WITH OR WITHOUT HIS RECOMMENDATION.
