F, t is 2 rae€ 9 Community Development Director King agreed that a proper means of sewage disposal needs to be identified. He reported that the developer was prepared to install a package plant, but he believed they contacted the City of Vero Beach last night requesting permission to connect to their sewer main, and there seems to be some difference in the information obtained last night versus previous conversations with the City. Attorney Wendell confirmed that he appeared before the Vero Beach City Council last night because he was baffled about how to proceed under the Tr9partite Agreement. It was his understanding that the sewage allocation utilized by the hospital is allowed to be used by certain d hers pending full development of the hospital. He, therefore, asked the City Council whether they would object to�Florida Health Associates being allowed to use 12,000-15,000 gallons per day of this sewage allocation, if the County, -and the hospital had no objections. Mr. Wendell stated that it was indicated that the City would react favorably; however, it was pointed out that the County could move the balance of the allocation for the 6th Avenue area into this commercial node. Mr. Wendell further noted that since their new nursing home would be the last added on.the force main, it would have to be the first off in the event the hospital needed additional allocation. Attorney Wendell went on to emphasize that this facility would not only add over 2.5 million to the tax rolls, but would generate many future dollars in payrolls, etc., for the community. He stressed their urgent need for the sewage allocation, especially since their Certificate of Need has an expiration date of April 3rd, and expressed their willingness to cooperate with the county and perhaps participate in some overall plan for that area. 73
