RECOMMENDATION <br />It is the recommendation of the Utilities Division that the County Attorney bp <br />authorized to proceed with action requiring the payment of Bond No. LB 638877 <br />issued by Florida Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company as surety, in favor of <br />the County of Indian River on behalf of Lowell Lohman and Irving Silverman in <br />the amount of twenty five thousand and 00/100 ($25,000.00) dollars for failure <br />to comply with the requirements of said agreement. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if the $25,000 is enough to <br />make the necessary improvements. <br />Utilities Director Pinto felt probably not, but noted <br />that now the County is proceeding with running a water line <br />up to that area, and he believed $,25,000 should be adequate <br />to put the line in. <br />Commissioner Scurlock inquired as to tat sort of legal <br />responsibility the developers, Silverman an& Lohman, would <br />have with the property owners. <br />Mr. Pinto noted that they entered into an agreement <br />with the County that within one year after approval of the <br />subdivision, they would provide a water treatment plant and <br />system and placed a bond to guarantee that performance and <br />specifically said if it were not done in one year, the <br />County could call the bond and use it to complete the <br />system.' <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked whether we are obligated to <br />complete the system in the event we call the bond, <br />Attorney Brandenburg felt what Mr. Pinto has in mind is <br />somewhat different, and he recommended we call the bond and <br />fight it out with the insurance company. <br />Question arose as to our ability to assess for any <br />additional amount that might be needed and also as to <br />whether there are existing lines in that subdivision waiting <br />to be connected. <br />Mr. Pinto did not believe there are adequate existing <br />water lines. <br />49 <br />
