Young Park, <br />City of Vero Beach, to the South Beach Park where it will connect with a transatlantic <br />offshore cable traversing to St.Thomas, Virgin Islands.' Due to difficulties in <br />obtaining F.C.C. approval in 1976, this project was delayed. AT u T Long Lines <br />has now received F.C.C. approval along with permits fron the Florida D.N.R.,D.E.R., <br />and the U.S. Corps of Engineers. At this time, AT & T would like approval from <br />the County to proceed with placing cable in existing conduit in Vero Beach pursuant <br />to an existing easement dated June 17, 1964, across the Indian River and into the <br />Atlantic Ocean. A complete description and schedule of work has been submitted. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />All work will take place within the Vero Beach City limits. Approval from the <br />City'of Vero Beach has been requested. The only work location on County property <br />will be at South Beach Park of which the County has a 2/5's interest. The City <br />maintains this park, and complete restoration is to be provided. <br />REC&MENDATION AND FUNDING <br />It is recommended that the Board restate that the County has no objection <br />to the installation of a cable from A.W. Young Park to the Atlantic Ocean, subject <br />to the issuance of all state, federal, and local permits. <br />These are no funding considerations to be approved for this item. <br />On Motion by Commissioner Lyons, seconded by <br />Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously approved the request <br />from AT&T Long Lines Division to install new cable from <br />Vero Beach to St. Thomas. <br />BID RECOMMENDATION NO. 111 <br />The Board reviewed the following memorandum concerning <br />the bid recommendations: <br />FEB 2198245 BOOK 48 Fni $i® , _ a 4 <br />
