Chairman Scurlock noted that we are undergoing a study right now looking at a sub -regional plant in the area, but that, of course, does not help at this time. He further noted that we have met with the City and discussed this issue several times; they emphasize their agreement is with the hospital; there is 400,000 allocated; and they are to have the final say. As far as any temporary use of.that allocation by anyone is concerned, the City has indicated they are not willing to release any of it to anyone unless they are assured by the Commission that in a given time we will build.a subregional system, and we cannot give that absolute assurance at this time. Naturally, we don't want another package plant, and while Mr. Clark of Florida Health Facilities has indicated he would be willing to participate in a s-ubregional plant, the City has indicated they are unwilling to release any temporary allocation based only on a developer's agreement. Discussion ensued regarding the 400,000 gallon allocation to the Hospital and how it is controlled, and Attorney Brandenburg stated there are a multiplicity of agreements (about 12) involving this issue. He went over the history of the situation,. starting with the 1973 agreement which gave the County an allocation of 1.3 million gallons per day, and pointed out that when the Hospital requested service, the City gave the Hospital a 500,000 gpd allocation but considered it as a part of the County's 1.3 million gpd allocation. After the County took the step of reducing the Hospital's 500,000 gpd allocation to 400,000 and gave the 100,000 gpd difference to Indian River Shores, the City entered into an agreement with the Hospital that they would provide the Hospital with an unlimited wastewater allocation to cover all their lands with the proviso that the Hospital would not give any of their allocation to anyone else without the City's permission. 59 MAR 7 1994 FA _ mel J J 7 J
