Staff has received the plans and has made numerous comments resulting in <br />many changes. Originally, a Florida Registered Engineer did not sign and <br />seal the design drawings. Staff has required a Registered Engineer's <br />Certification. <br />The proposed design will utilize approximately a 10' wide corridor along <br />County right-of-way. The design impact has been minimized as much as <br />possible. <br />RECC1ElDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Staff recommends that a County right-of-way use permit be granted to <br />Florida Gas Transmission Company for the construction of the 8" gas main. <br />A right-of-way use permit fee for such installations may be levied by the <br />County based upon the Board's direction. To monitor construction, <br />approximately $1,000 in staff time is anticipated. A $1,000 fee is <br />recommended. <br />Administrator Balczun noted that when the Board approved <br />this matter last week, they did so with the condition that <br />Florida Gas would allow the county to utilize a portion of the <br />gas line easement for surface disposal of effluent. As it turns <br />out, this is more a City of Vero Beach exercise than that of <br />Florida Gas. City Manager Little has assured us that he will <br />work with us as much as is possible in regard to allowing us to <br />utilize that property for effluent disposal, and staff sees no <br />purpose to be served in holding up the City in its installation <br />of the pipe. Staff, therefore, requests the Board to approve the <br />issuance of the permit and to direct staff to work with the City <br />on potentially using that property for disposal purposes. <br />Commissioner Eggert inquired if the Administrator was <br />satisfied that we will be getting all the costs back, and he <br />confirmed that he had every reason to believe we would. <br />Chairman Scurlock advised that he also talked to City <br />Manager Little, who indicated they would be willing to pay all <br />those costs, but asked us to remember it is the City and not <br />Florida Gas,. and please be reasonable in our charges. The <br />Chairman did feet there is one thing we need to modify, and that <br />is that he would like to see us be consistent with the Drainage <br />District. The District's arrangement with the City of Vero <br />Beach on their transmission lines is $500 per mite as opposed to <br />$1,000 a year. He agreed with staff that it would do us no good <br />to hold this project up. <br />JAS! 12 198 <br />19 <br />BOOK 70 'PACE 556 <br />
