JUN Unit Usage Water Sewer TOTAL 8000 Gallons Per Month 20.15 24.25 $44.40/month 10,000 Gallons Per Month 23.75 28.75 $52.50/month Note that the fixed usage rate of $1.80 per thousand gallons of water and $2.25 per thousand gallons of sewage are believed to be a bit of a deterrent to wasting water; i.e. it helps promote conser- vation. Oversight of staff in preparing all the Board's information package may not be a proper reason to postpone the public hearing. It is proper to consider postponing the public hearing if the procedures have not been rigorously followed. Recommendation Because of the cloud caused by the advertisement requirements, the staff recommends allowing the developer to present his position, and then use this opportunity to schedule the public hearing at a future meeting, say July 7, 1982, 1:30 P.M. This would enable the advertisement to be properly performed. Other advantages may be that negotiations for the North Beach Water Company may proceed to the point where the Florida Land Company will not want to be in the water business for their own franchise. The Attorney for Florida Land Company, William Sundstrom, informed the Board that legal notice was published in the Press Journal as follows and he has the proof of publication in affidavit form: i BEFORE THE BOARD k OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 34 OF INDIAN RIVER. COUNTY, FLORIDA NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The Board of County Commissioners will j hold a Public Hearing on June 2, 1982, at 1:30 P.M. at the County Commissioners Chambers at 1840 2Sth Street, Vera Beach, Florida, for the purpose of considering the request of the River [tend Utility Company for a water and sewer franchise. The property which will be covered by the franchise area is a parcel of ground consisting of approximately 84 acres, the northern boundary of which is approximately 1/4 mile south of the Wabasso causeway. Said property is also bounded on the west by the Indian River and on the East by the Atlantic Ocean.. May 17, 1982. q Question arose about placement of the ad, and Chairman Scurlock stated that he had discussed this with the Utility Department and apparently normal procedure has not been followed. He believed there has been some lack of understanding about coordinating this activity. 21982 BOK 44 9 PAGE 900 . .
