BOOK PAGE. <br />3. Authorize a public hearing with the Rockridge Subdivision home owners <br />to discuss the cost of construction and payment of the requested <br />wastewater improvements. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Honorable Board of County Commissioners authorize <br />Staff to proceed with action necessary to provide the requested wastewater <br />service to the Rockridge Subdivision. <br />Commissioner Scurlock explained that he asked this item be <br />removed as he would like Utilities Director Pinto and himself to <br />have an opportunity to meet with the residents of Rockridge. <br />The rock ridge in this area will require a little different type <br />of system, and he believed it is important to get the support of <br />the community before we start expending dollars. <br />Commissioner Bird concurred that because of the topography <br />of the area this could be a very expensive project, and he would <br />not want to spend the money for engineering and then have the <br />residents reject the project because of its cost. <br />Administrator Wright pointed out that it is not the intent <br />to go into actual construction drawings - just a conceptual <br />design to get a rough cost, which probably would not cost more <br />than $2-3,000. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt it is important to note that the <br />City of Vero Beach has indicated they will increase our alloca- <br />tion for wastewater, and he suggested we send them a note of <br />thanks for making this option at least a possibility. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously author- <br />ized staff to proceed with action necessary to <br />provide the requested wastewater service to the <br />Rockridge Subdivision based on the above discussion <br />and authorized the Chairman to write the City of <br />Vero Beach thanking them for their cooperative <br />effort. <br />14 <br />
