FF,_ -1 mAY 14 1991" POOK 83 FADE •.tai Sebastian area. As to wastewater, both south of Sebastian and north of Sebastian, there are people who have prepaid impact fees and are ready for service, and we can't finalize our design until we find out what the City is going to do. Commissioner Scurlock noted that, especially for water, he would like them to reaffirm they are out because that will be a brand new system we are designing from scratch. We have already got a wastewater system in there that has capacity in that line for at least that portion and that will have to be reassigned to other areas if they get completely out. Commissioner Eggert asked if on wastewater this wouldn't be an extension of our current system and line. Director Pinto explained that we have to design all the interior lines. You have the County on both ends of Sebastian, and we have to know if we are going to incorporate the part inside Sebastian into that design. What's happening now is that we have people walking in and saying I am ready to connect, and we are saying we don't know what size line to build yet. Commissioner Eggert stated that she would like to have something definite in writing from Sebastian. Commissioner Scurlock noted that we have had one meeting with Sebastian, and he•believed at that meeting'•it was indicated that they are not sure just how much out they want to be. Administrator Chandler confirmed that we kept asking that they give us something in writing. That was a month ago, and all we have received from them is a letter asking for information. We tried very hard to indicate that we need something tangible from them. Commissioner Eggert asked if we can't give them a deadline and state that if there is no notification by such and such a time, we will consider that you wish to be removed. Commissioner Scurlock agreed we need to do that. He advised that members of the City Council have commented to him that when they do their study, they may not want to get out, but there is no saying how long that study will take, and we can't run our system that way. It costs money to oversize lines, and we need an answer. He felt it would appropriate for the Chairman, with the help of the Administrator and Director Pinto, to write a letter to the City and advise them that we need something definite. Commissioner Eggert believed that any answer should be from the City Council after a vote. Director Pinto stressed that this is a serious situation for us. We are proceeding with the wastewater; we have a franchise; and we have a responsibility to the customers there. He noted 60
