UN 21982 ®o 9 VAN Attorney Henderson felt a workshop was a good idea, but noted that he will be out of town on vacation at that time. He believed the other attorneys could work on this in the meantime. The Chairman called a brief recess. The Board reconvened with the same members present, and Chairman Scurlock asked Attorney Brandenburg to comment on the language discussed. Attorney Brandenburg stated that the only two clear options are either to indicate the Board will not consider any franchise except the one whole one for North Beach or to issue one on an interim basis to River Bend to give them assurance to proceed with the 16" well. One other possibility, in the event the North Beach franchise is not issued, would be a clause providing that within a time period of 30-45 days, the County would readdress the River Bend franchise with the idea of imposing additional requirements looking to River Bend to be a major supplier. Discussion continued as to River Bend wishing some kind of assurance before they put-down a 16" well, and the possibility of a Resolution stating that the Commission has every intention of negotiating a North Beach franchise within a reasonable period of time was suggested. }: Commissioner Fletcher brought up the possibility of the 16" well not proving satisfactory, either economically or as to water quality, causing them to look to the mainland for a water supply. In discussion, it was noted that the majority of the Commission has supported the policy of trying to make the barrier island self-sufficient and agreed that the water would not be taken from the mainland. Chairman Scurlock further noted that St. John's Water Management District will not allow additional water from the mainland wellfield to come over a line across the river.
