ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved staff's recommendation as set out in the above memo with no waiver of application and administrative fees. MOORINGS 8 FLORALTON BEACH HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION STREET LIGHTS (Tabled from 1/23/90 Meeting The Board reviewed the following memo dated 1/15190: TO: Board of County Commissioners DATE: January 15, 1990 FILE: SUBJECT: MOORINGS E FLORALTON BEACH HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION STREET LIGHTS Joseph A. Baird, Director I * FROM:Office of Management 8 Budget and REFERENCES: James Davis, Dir. of Public Work-�C? The City of Vero Beach furnished streetlights to both Floralton Beach Subdivision and the Moorings Subdivision prior to the County entering into the governmental streetlighting agreement with the City of Vero Beach in 1987. Both Floralton Beach Subdivision (16 streetlights) and the Moorings Subdivision (10 streetlights along SR AIA) were added to the governmental agreement; however, the City of Vero Beach continued to bill them. At the request of the City of Vero Beach, Indian River County staff in March 1988 began trying to get the Moorings and Floralton Beach Subdivisions to enter into an agreement with Indian River County. After several attempts to have the Moorings enter into an agreement, we have been unsuccessful. On August 17, 1989 Indian River County received a letter from John Kirby of the City of Vero Beach indicating they would begin billing the County for both subdivisions streetlights effective October 1989 which they did. Unfortunately, we had not budgeted for this and are not receiving any revenue from the Moorings and Floralton Beach Subdivisions to offset the cost. Currently, the monthly cost is $105.94 ($1,271.28 annually) for the Moorings and $125.91 per month ($1,510.92 annually) for Floralton Beach. I have had conversations with Bert Hambleton of the Moorings Homeowners Association and he does not seem interested in entering into an agreement with the County for the following reasons: 1. The streetlights for the most part are located on AIA and benefit other people besides those who live in the Moorings. 2. They do not like the terms and conditions set forth in the standard streetlighting agreement such as paying a full year in advance, the administrative charge, and the long term of the agreement, etc. 3. The Moorings Development Company has been paying the bill since the lights were installed in -1970, -not _the_ Homeowners. -Association. 4. He does not understand why they cannot pay the City of Vero Beach directly. 68 F ci99 ROOK F' sE
