L� .m ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT SINCE WE HAVE A RESOLUTION WHICH GIVES US THE RIGHT TO TAKE OVER THE SYSTEM WHEN WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE AND IT APPEARS THAT THE FRANCHISE HOLDER IS NOT GOING TO MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED, FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT HE BELIEVED OUR POSTURE IS BEST IF WE GO AHEAD AND BUILD A PLANT AND PUT MR. SALTER ON NOTICE THAT WE ARE NOW IN A POSITION TO PROVIDE THE SEWER SERVICE AND WE WILL TAKE OVER. DISCUSSION ENSUED ABOUT THE TYPE OF PLANT AND THE POSSIBLE OPTION OF TYING IN TO OTHER FRANCHISES IN THE AREA. UTILITY DIRECTOR LINER REPORTED THAT PETER ROBINSON OF LAUREL HOMES HAS AN IDEA WHERE HE COULD GET SOME DEVELOPERS TO ERECT A PLANT AND TURN IT OVER TO THE COUNTY. HE IS THINKING IN TERMS OF SOLVING, THE PROBLEM WITH NORA PARK AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIBISCUS AIRPORT. ENGINEER JOHN ROBBINS STATED THAT HE HAD A DISCUSSION WITH A DEVELOPER WHO OWNS LAND ADJACENT TO TREASURE COAST, AND MR. MUSTAPICK INDICATED HE WOULD BE WILLING TO DISCUSS WITH THE COUNTY THE POSSIBILITY IF HE DEVELOPS THAT AREA AROUND TREASURE COAST THAT HE OWNS THAT HE MIGHT WORK JOINTLY ON PUTTING IN A SEWER PLANT TO SOLVE BOTH PROBLEMS. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE COUNTY ATTORNEY, THE CONSULTING ENGINEER AND THE ADMINISTRATOR TO PREPARE A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSION IN REFERENCE TO BUILDING A FACILITY TO TAKE CARE OF THE TREASURE COAST NEEDS AND THE OTHERS MENTIONED. ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE FORECLOSURE SUIT FILED AGAINST TREASURE COAST UTILITIES, INC., BY FORSYTH STREET INVESTMENTS, INC., HAS GONE TO FINAL JUDGMENT; THERE WILL BE A SALE ON THE THIRD OF MAY, AND HE WILL BE THERE BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTY. CHAIRMAN LYONS NOTED THAT THE PREVIOUS COMMISSION A YEAR AGO AUTHORIZED THE ATTORNEY TO BID ON THE SYSTEM ON THE FORECLOSURE DATE.
