DISCUSS REMOVAL OF SEBASTIAN FROM NORTH CO. SEWER COLLECTION AND <br />WATER DISTRIBUTION_ SYSTEM <br />The Board reviewed memo from Utilities Director Pinto: <br />DATE: <br />MAY 2, 1991 <br />TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: TERRANCE G. PINT / <br />DIRECTOR OF UTIL ICES <br />PREPARED WILLIAM F. Mc AIN � <br />AND STAFFED CAPITAL PRO 5 ET6TNEER <br />BY: DEPARTMEN ITY SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: NORTH COUNTY UTILITIES (I.E.), SEWER <br />COLLECTION AND WATER DISTRIBUTION <br />BACKGROUND <br />We currently have consultants under contract for design of a North <br />'County Water Distribution System, and a Wastewater Collection System <br />,around US Highway 1 and Indian River Drive. These contracts are with <br />:,Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan, Inc., and Kimball/Lloyd and <br />Associates, Inc., respectively. We are at a point in these projects <br />where we need some direction from the Board of County Commissioners. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The basic study phases of these projects are complete. However, due to <br />recent changes with the City of Sebastian, we must decided how to deal <br />with the Sebastian ,service area. In order to proceed with these <br />projects, we are requesting authorization to remove the city service <br />area out of the projects and proceed with design. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the <br />Board of County Commissioners approve the removal of the City of <br />Sebastian from these projects so that we may proceed. <br />Commissioner Scurlock commented that although he feels we <br />need to move ahead, he felt we should check with Sebastian one <br />more time to make sure they really want out, or at least put them <br />on notice they should make provisions for servicing. He actually <br />did not know how we can totally exclude them in that we have a <br />line that goes right through a portion of their city, and he -- <br />certainly did not want to read headlines in the newspaper that <br />the County kicks out Sebastian because that certainly is not what <br />we want to do. <br />Commissioner Eggert also had a problem with the word <br />"removal." She noted that we have people who are already using <br />the service up there. <br />Director Pinto stressed that the major problem is that we <br />are ready to design the water system but we can't until we are <br />clear on whether we are going to be providing services in the <br />5 9 BOOK 83 FH1E •3 <br />� MAY 14 199 <br />
