DEC 18 1985 Book 63 .fAa 8 <br />' 1) Initiate an assessment paving and drainage program to <br />pave all City streets in Fellsmere. Legal work to implement <br />this is complete. Engineering work is being solicited. The <br />County may want to consider an assessment program to pava <br />those roads in the County east and north of Fellsmere. <br />2) The City will install the 12 culverts including 'construc- <br />tion of headwalls. <br />3) The City will fund approxiamtely $15,000.00 to correct <br />drainage problems in north Fellsmere. <br />In conclusion, the City of Felslmere is requesting the county to <br />fund its fair share of the emergency drainage improvements, so that <br />the roads in Fellsmere can be reopened to accomodate emergency vehi- <br />cles and the general public south of Ditch 16 & 17. <br />The Fellsmere Farms Drainage District has supplied equip- <br />ment and manpower to correct these problems. <br />Thank you for your consideration in this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Marion A. Turner, Mayor <br />City of Fellsmere <br />Commissioner Scurlock reported that Mayor Turner took him on <br />a tour to show him improvements that have been made and to <br />identify a number of areas Fellsmere and the County can work on <br />jointly. Commissioner Scurlock felt we can help the City out by <br />supplying some services and possibly through our asphalt <br />contract. He was very supportive of the City's request that we <br />provide money for culverts, which he felt was reasonable since we <br />are impacting them, and he believed this would be money well <br />spent. <br />Chairman Lyons requested that the Board discuss funding. <br />Administrator Wright believed it may have to come out of the <br />Road 8 Bridge account, probably contingencies, because we have a <br />limited amount of money in our culvert and bridge repairs, and we <br />do have a bridge problem that we have to face on a countywide <br />basis. <br />Discussion ensued regarding culverts being on an annual <br />contract, and Administrator Wright was not sure we have them that <br />large but believed we could negotiate a good price. <br />Mayor Turner emphasized that Fellsmere is simply asking the <br />County to participate as.they have in the past by purchasing the <br />88 <br />
