Chairman Scurlock believed it would be fair to say that the utility would prefer to dispose of both assets, and a meeting is scheduled on the 21st of this month to propose a deal similar to what we have structured here. In continuing discussion re acquisition, Director Pinto reported that staff has done a very, very extensive inventory. Chairman Scurlock asked before the acquisition is complete, which is a 9/1 closing date, do we anticipate through that document to look again at the system to see that it is fully within acceptable standards, and Director Pinto stated that we will monitor the system until the day of purchase. Commissioner Eggert asked if the system as it now stands will have to be increased to serve the whole North Beach. Director Pinto confirmed that it would. The system is adequate for those it is presently serving, and the expansion of the system for the rest of the North Beach would be paid for by impact fees from those customers. Commissioner Bird asked if they were saying that from this location and with this expansion, the system has the capability of taking care of the entire North Beach area from Indian River Shores to Sebastian Inlet, and Director Pinto confirmed that it would, noting that, of course, would mean new wells and the addition of other membrane units. If, in fact, the Town of Orchid builds, it could service that and Marsh Island. Chairman Scurlock advised that both the Town of Orchid and the Polo Club have indicated their interest in being serviced by thecounty system. Commissioner Bowman asked if this system as it sits without any expansion could accommodate Summerplace and Oceanaire Heights, and this was confirmed. Discussion ensued re the pipe to John's Island that is presently used for irrigation only and whether there is any ability to tap into that and. possibly siphon off any of the water and make it potable. 16 APR 12 1988 Booz i2 FACE 16
