ON MOTION MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the <br />Board unanimously accepted the recom- <br />mendation of the Administrator; agreed to <br />formally withdraw the Walker Tract from <br />those properties being considered for beach <br />acquisition under the "Save Our Coast" <br />Program; and authorized the Chairman to cor- <br />respond with the appropriate officials re- <br />garding this action. <br />REPORT ON 8TH STREET EXTENSION - REMOVAL OF POWER POLE <br />Jim Davis, Public Works Director, reported on the <br />status of the 8th Street extension project, noting that this <br />extension is pending on the relocation of a power pole which <br />is located in the very middle of the proposed street path, <br />and it is not feasible either to reroute the street or make <br />an island for the pole. He informed the Board of the <br />considerable costs involved in removal of the power pole and <br />subsequent installation of a new one, which would be in the <br />neighborhood of $35,000. <br />r <br />Finance Director Barton explained that neither the <br />County nor the City of Vero Beach has the equipment needed <br />to move the pole, making it necessary to hire an outside <br />company. This pole is embedded 20 feet below the surface <br />and encased in concrete. He suggested that one solution to <br />the problem would be if the County would agree to put up a <br />temporary deposit of $35,000. He added there is a 16-18 <br />week wait for the new pole and then shipping time must be <br />added, and all he has been attempting to do is.keep the <br />project moving. The only other alternative is to request <br />the City to pay the entire cost of moving the pole, but to <br />do that, the matter would have to go on the City Council <br />Agenda, which would require at least two more weeks. <br />27 <br />FEB 163 1983 .PAGE. <br />
