Chairman Scurlock hoped that before we actually spend any <br />more money, we would get a fairly good idea that they still <br />support the project, because a lot of things can change in 2-3 <br />years. <br />Director Davis suggested that the Board go ahead and <br />schedule a public hearing on a Municipal Service Taxing Unit <br />(MSTU) and make their decision after hearing from the affected <br />property owners. He personally liked the idea of a MSTU similar <br />to the one at Vero Lakes Estates. <br />Commissioner Wheeler asked how this would improve the <br />system, and Director Davis explained that this project will <br />formalize the outfall for this area. At present there is sort of <br />a natural slue between Old Dixie Highway and the FEC railroad <br />track and that natural slue has been meandering through property <br />without being in an easement to protect it. The project will <br />enlarge the outside channel and provide 100% drainage to the <br />area. It will take away the problem where people have been <br />filling in the slue and damming upstream property. <br />Utilities Director Terry Pinto suggested that the Board take <br />a look at setting up stormwater management as a utility, but <br />Director Davis pointed out that you cannot shut off a person's <br />drainage if they don't pay their bill. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed we should keep that option open <br />because there must be a mechanism out there to do it. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved <br />staff's recommendation of Alternate #1, as set out in <br />the above memo. <br />'JUL � 25 <br />BOX `� . ;A cf 96131 <br />
