GOOK 8 -2,PAGE 3 EXPANSION OF GDU WATER FRANCHISE SERVICES TO CHESSER'S GAP Assistant County Attorney Collins reviewed memo from County Attorney Charles P. Vitunac: TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Charles P. Vitunac, County Attorney DATE: January 8, 1991 _ RE: EXPANSION OF GENERAL DEVELOPMENT UTILITIES WATER FRANCHISE SERVICES TO CHESSER'S GAP The City of Sebastian has granted Indian River County an exclusive franchise,for water and sewer service to all that part of the City not covered by an existing water and sewer franchise. The County is not In a position to provide water services to an approximately 60 -acre part of the City known as Chester's Gap, and the developer, Mr. Henry Fischer, has requested that the City enlarge the franchise of the City with GDU so that GDU can service Chesser Gap. As part of this process, it is necessary for the County to agree to waive its exclusive rights for the water service over the same territory, and the Utility Services Department *•has no objection to doing so. The City has adopted the necessary resolution and ordinance amendment, and the attached resolution Is being presented to the County for similar approval. Staff recommends approval of the resolution and authority for the Chairman to sign same. Attorney Collins explained this is a request to cut out from the County's exclusive franchise for water and sewer service a 60 - acre portion of the City known as Chesser Is Gap. The County is not in apposition to provide water and sewer service at this time, and apparently GDU can. This resolution would waive our exclusive rights to provide water service to the parcel known as Chesser's Gap but it does not affect sewer service. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 91-07, as recommended by Staff. 24
