Mr. Pinto stated that, from the County's point of view, <br />there is not that great a need to sell water to Vero <br />Highlands or Vero Shores to increase revenues because we are <br />now in the black in our operation. The only reason we <br />suggest selling the water to them is to reduce their cost <br />over what it could be and improve quality. We could sell <br />the water somewhere else. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stated that he does support. the <br />wholesale of water to GDU, but would concede that if it was <br />felt additional research was needed, we don't need to make a <br />decision tonight. He did believe, however, that it would be <br />a plus for everybody. <br />Commissioner Lyons also felt that the Commission should <br />be all together on their support of this agreement, but <br />unless something shows up after further study that would <br />change our position, he believed it would be in everyone's <br />best interests that we should go with the agreement. <br />Chairman Bird asked Commissioner Wodtke how much <br />additional time he felt would be needed to resolve his <br />questions, and Commissioner Wodtke stated that he has no <br />information regarding the numbers involved. <br />Mr. Pinto stated that we have the production cost of <br />water, and we have instructed our consultant to work out the <br />wholesale numbers. As to projections re a new plant, that <br />would have to come from GDU, and he believed GDU has been <br />working on that. <br />Mr. Fancher reported that they have all that <br />information and discussed it verbally with Mr. Wright and <br />Mr. Pinto. He was not sure just what additional information <br />was desired. <br />Chairman Bird suggested that the Commissioners <br />individually get together with Mr. Pinto to pass on any <br />questions they might have, and then we could readdress this <br />in 30 days. <br />41 <br />b K' Put <br />IL - NOV 9 1983 <br />I <br />
