FF'_ t -7 DEC 16 890R 48 PAE332 July 20, 1981, the franchise provided water service to the Phase 1 customers until their well failed. Because of the emergency situation (in which 17 residential units were left without. Water), we provided an emergency connection fro -:r a nearby crater- main. The expense of making this emergency connection was 51,713.65. This amount rias repaid to Indian River County Utilities Uy Ron i•litchell. From that date, the franchised water supply was taken out of service. Phase II of the subdivision had nater lines installed according to county specification. These lines fere fully inspected by Total Development and certified as satisfactory. The developer paid the impact fees for 53 units'in Phase II as of 10/6/81. We have developer agreements for Phase iI and Phase III in our files that require full compliance with county regulations before service (meter installation) can be applied to any lot in the Sub- division, namely: All i;r,pact, service, and deposit fees will be paid in advance by the developer for all lots prior to any connection. All crater mains will be built to specifications, pressure tested, bacteria tested as certified by the engineer and an approval letter shall be sub!!d tted to us from DER. :As -built drawings will be received showing easements and appropriate rights-of-way. Inasr:auch as there is no intention to restore the well and reactivate the franchise treatment plant, it is obvious that the subdivision will require crater service from Indian River County. We have executed agreements statinu that this is the case. The agreements are worded so that the develooer has prescribed con,mittilrents which protect the county and contract for delivery of crater when the committments are fulfilled. Note that the County has adequate water for this subdivision. The COu11tV Attorney stated that io terminate the franchise, `pre �:ust advertize the nreetin(i and hold a public: hearing for such termination. The advertisen;ent is being appropriately placed and proof will be shoran at the co iiiission Illeetinq. RECOMriENDATION AND FUNDING There were seventeen residential customers acquired from Pinecrest Franchise. Fro;r: these r:e have 53100 in i:rnact (connection) fees in the franchise escrow account that :Jill be transferred to the county i!!,pact fund - once the franchise is terninated.' For all the rernainina lots in the subdivision we are receiving the full appropriate impact fee for the service we will provide. After termination of the franchise, 53400 in the Mitchell/Pinecrest Franchise Impact Escrow Fund should be transferred to the Utilities Impact Escrow Fund (From 6U1-000-247-64.00 to 472-000-3413-65.00). We recommend approval to terminate the Pinecrest/Mitchell Franchise. There are no funding ependitures to fie ar)proved by the Board for tris i ;>>. Attorney Collins noted that since the County has taken over complete service, there is no longer a need for the above franchise. He did not believe there is any objection from the franchise holder. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none. On Motion by Commissioner Scurlock, seconded by 16
