DEC 51990 ng City of Sebastian POST OFFICE BOX 780127 ❑ SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32978 ?''J TELEPHONE (407) 589-5330 ❑ FAX (407) 589-5570 November 26, 1990 Mr. James Chandler Indian River County Administrator 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, FL 32960 Re: City/County Meeting Dear Jim: This will confirm the City/County Meeting to be held on December 5, 1990 at 7:00 p.m., in the first floor conference room of the County Administration Building. The City wishes to discuss the following items: 1. Riverfront Study. The City Council has recently appointed a special committee to preserve and enhance Sebastian's beautiful riverfront. Since the County has jurisdiction of the unincorporated territory to the City's north and south within the riverfront area, we feel it would be appropriate for the County to participate in this committee. For your information, we have enclosed a draft work program prepared by Sebastian City staff. 2. Indian River Drive. Currently, Indian River County has complete jurisdiction and maintenance responsibility for Indian River Drive, including that portion of Indian River Drive which is within the City limits. With the anticipated riverfront district, we feel the City should have as much jurisdiction as possible over Indian River Drive, including maintenance responsibility. The City is willing to consider assuming jurisdiction and maintenance responsibility for Indian River Drive provided Indian River County will make several repairs to bring the condition of the street up to what we would consider acceptable. Currently, there are several minor pavement problems which need to be corrected and we would ask Indian River County to remove all dead and dying Australian Pines from within the right-of-way, including the stumps. 3. North County Recreation. The City and County have jointly funded improvements to the Barber Street Sports Complex. City and County staff have worked out details on recreation programming for this facility. For your information, we have enclosed certain correspondence which outlines the approach being utilized to program the facility. We would like to review the status of the project, discuss its programming and to set a tone and general direction for future coordination and cooperation for North County Recreation. 4. County Utilities. The City continues to maintain an active interest in the installation of water and sewer utilities by Indian River County. We would appreciate a briefing on the status on this project as well as discussion on how the City could continue to facilitate and work with the County for the County's acquisition of General Development Utilities water and sewer systems within the City. 2
