E 1 M M Commissioner Fletcher felt installing septic tanks in the park area would be much more economical, but it was pointed out that if you are within 300' of a sewer line, you are required to hook up to it, and it was further noted that the county is saying we are willing to assess ourselves to help defray some of the cost. In further discussion it was noted that while the 260 units referred to include the vacant lots in Pebble Bay, the F.I.T. property was not figured in. It was generally felt that F.I.T. should be contacted' -in this regard.

The need for subsidizing the system to some extent in order to have uniform assessments and have an agreement with the Town of Indian River Shores for them to pay the assessment to the County after annexation was next reviewed. A great deal of discussion followed as to the value to be assigned to the donated plant and the actual cost to move it, which Commissioner Wodtke felt could amount to as much as $30,000.
