NO V 3 1982 <br />864 ,g <br />Utilities Director Pinto reviewed the proposed <br />resolution, and various items were discussed by the Board. <br />Chairman Scurlock stated that he supported the <br />franchise application as submitted but wanted to make sure <br />that the rate structure was sufficient. <br />Lengthy discussion followed about the rates, and about <br />Exhibit A, which was the legal description. <br />Darrell McQueen, engineer, approached the Board and <br />explained that the total cost of this plant would be borne <br />by the developer - $30,000 would be put into escrow. He <br />then discussed the plant design, which was quite <br />sophisticated, furnished with alarms and controls. Mr. <br />McQueen explained the type of testing they would conduct <br />on wells that are existing on the site. <br />The Chairman posed the question as to whether there <br />would be adequate capacity within the water treatment plant <br />to possibly offer service to Orchid Island. <br />Mr. McQueen felt the possibilities were there but there <br />were ramifications to be considered. He pointed out that <br />under the State requirements, once you serve 350 people or <br />more, another well would be needed to bring additional <br />people on line. <br />The Chairman asked if there was anyone present who <br />wished to be heard. <br />Mr. Smith, resident of Vero Beach, asked what kind of <br />provisions would be made for sewerage if they went into the <br />second phase. <br />Mr. McQueen responded that it would be the same as the <br />Johns Island plant - they anticipated a lot of absentee <br />owners. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Wodtke, the'Board unanimously <br />agreed to close the public hearing. <br />
