OCT 2 21980 Boos 45 PAcF- _ 70 ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THERE ARE SOME CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE SOUTH BEACH WASTEWATER AGREEMENT AND THE UNDER- LYING 1973 AGREEMENT. HE STATED THAT HE HAS ALWAYS TAKEN THE POSITION THAT THE CITY HAD ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SEWER SERVICE ON THE SOUTH BEACH, AND BY THIS NEW AGREEMENT, WE ARE LIMITING THAT RESPONSIBILITY TO 600,000 GPD. THE REASON FOR THAT IS THAT THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE CITY NOT EXPANDING THEIR TREATMENT FACILITY ABOVE A CERTAIN LEVEL HAS BEEN ACCEPTED, AND THE 600,000 GPD ALLOCATED IN THE MID FLORIDA AREA WILL BE SWUNG OVER TO THE BEACH. ANOTHER REASON FOR ACCEPTING THIS IS THAT THE'SOUTH BEACH IS TO BE DEVELOPED ON A SINGLE FAMILY BASIS PRIMARILY, WITH THE EXCEPTIONS OF THE MOORINGS. IT IS NOT ANTICIPATED THAT THE MOORINGS WILL HAVE A RE- QUIREMENT OVER 600,000 GPD, AND IF THEY D0, IT IS UP TO THEM TO RESOLVE THAT, AS TO THE CROSS REFERENCES BETWEEN THE VARIOUS AGREE- MENTS, ATTORNEY COLLINS CONFIRMED THAT THESE HAVE BEEN CHECKED CAREFULLY COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT ATTORNEY COLLINS HAS UNDERTAKEN A GARGANTUAN TASK AND DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB OF UNTANGLING THIS MAZE OF AGREEMENTS. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED IF THE SOUTH BEACH WATER LIMITATION IS THE DESIGNED CAPACITY OF THE LINE THAT IS TO BE CONSTRUCTED, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT IT IS AND EXPLAINED THAT MR. ROBBINS WILL DESIGN A LINE THAT ANTICIPATES MEETING THE ENTIRE SOUTH REACH REQUIREMENTS ON A SINGLE FAMILY BASIS. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT QUESTIONED WHETHER THE CAPACITY LIMITATION IS THE CAPACITY OF THE LINE OR THE CITY`S CAPACITY TO SERVE, NOTING THAT PARAGRAPH % OF THE SOUTH BEACH WATER AGREEMENT CALLS FOR A MORATORIUM ON CONNECTIONS IF THE CITY DECIDES THEY CANNOT PROVIDE FURTHER WATER DUE TO CAPACITY LIMITATIONS. HE WISHED TO KNOW IF THIS COULD RELATE TO THEIR CAPACITY TO PROVIDE FROM THEIR WELLFIELDS. ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT PARAGRAPH 3 STATES THAT THE CITY ACCEPTS THIS AREA UP TO THE CAPACITY LIMITS OF THE WATER TRANSMISSION LINE TO BE INSTALLED BY THE COUNTY. HE CONTINUED THAT THERE ORIGINALLY WERE REFERENCES IN THE PRIOR DRAFTS TO CAPACITY LIMITATIONS BACK TO THE WELLFIELDS, BUT ALL THOSE REFERENCES ARE DELETED FROM THIS CONTRACT.
