-I DEC 12 1984 BOOK " ?14 explained that what they would like is some simple action authorizing them to work with the City, County, and appropriate agencies, to work out the acquisition of the utility. Chairman Scurlock stated that he personally has indicated that he would support the concept presented by the property owners. The only danger he wished to point out is that if five to seven years down the line, the City has not moved ahead to take the effluent back to the affected property, and if the effluent plant is not in place, the golf course will need another plan to provide that service. Mr. Hambleton reported that the engineer tells them it will take 18-24 months to construct the return lines to bring the effluent back to the golf course, and they are asking to be allowed to finance that cost through the same special assess- ment. Commissioner Bird believed this is the direction we would like to head in. He stated that Mr. Hambleton assured him that the concerns of Hutchinson Utilities and St. Edward's School have been satisfied as well as those of the Moorings property owners. Attorney Brandenburg commented that if the County does agree to participate in this venture, he would suggest that at the closing when the Hutchinson Utilities system is purchased, that it go immediately to the City and not to the County at all on an interim basis. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commis- sioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0) endorsed the basic concept of the proposal presented by the Moorings of Vero Property Owners and authorized staff to work in cooperation with them to accomplish their goals. SECURITY LIGHTS AT FAIRGROUNDS Commissioner Bird reported that final preparations are still on-going for the County Fair, which is scheduled for mid January. 62
