DEC 31990 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Neil A. Nelson, County Administrator <br />SUBJECT: West Side Racquet Club Subdivision <br />Street Light <br />Boa 45 P �� 3�4 <br />November 24, 1980 <br />ENCL.: West Side Racquet Club's letter of request dated <br />October 21, 1980 <br />The West Side Racquet Club and residents of the subdivision have <br />requested that an 11,000 lumen street light be erected at the entrance <br />to the subdivision from 5th Street, S.W. <br />Florida Power and Light will install this light upon written request <br />from the County and will not charge an installation fee. The cost of the <br />light would be $6.50 plus $1.00 fuel adjustment per month. <br />Since there is only one light involved, the establishment of a taxing <br />district to pay for it would be too cumbersome. An agreement between West <br />Side and the County to collect a years fee of $100.00 in advance could be <br />worked out. <br />It is recommended that: <br />1. The Board approve the installation of an 11,000 lumen light <br />at the entrance to West Side from 5th Street, S.W. <br />2. The County Administrator be authorized to request the installation <br />of the light to be installed by Florida Power & Light. <br />3. The County Attorney prepare an agreement between West Side Racquet <br />Club and the County subject to the Chairman's signature. <br />Nei A. Nelson <br />County Administrator <br />COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK ASKED WHY THE COUNTY WOULD ENTER INTO <br />THIS AT ALL AND WHY THEY COULD NOT ASK FP&L DIRECTLY. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE EXPLAINED THAT THE COUNTY IN THE PAST <br />HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND ALWAYS HAS DENIED <br />THE REQUEST. FP&L HAS A POLICY WHEREBY IF THE COUNTY ORDERS IT AND <br />SAYS THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE THE PAYMENTS, THEN FP&L, KNOWING THE <br />TAXING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY, WILL PUT THE LIGHT IN AND WILL JUST <br />CHARGE A FLAT MONTHLY CHARGE. HE NOTED THAT A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS <br />IS VERO SHORES WHERE HE LIVES — THEY HAVE WANTED FOR SOME TIME A <br />LIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR SUBDIVISION; IT IS ON A ROAD ACCEPTED BY THE <br />COUNTY FOR MAINTENANCE. FP&L SAYS THEY WILL PUT IT IN AND CHARGE <br />32 <br />
