Fr ­ <br />MAY 21199 1 <br />BooK 83 FADE 449 <br />Commissioner Eggert recollected the life expectancy of the <br />equipment was to be five years. <br />Director Pinto said the capacity is being taken up much faster <br />by new customers than originally anticipated. The good part is <br />that new customers will bring in revenue. <br />Assistant Director Harry Asher had expected to get through <br />this budget year with the existing capacity and put it off into the <br />next budget year, but growth along with software which is <br />constantly being updated consumes additional capacity. In <br />addition, we try to add as many applications as possible to the <br />system to enhance our operation. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved <br />the purchase of two (2) disk drives for IBM AS400 at <br />a cost of $10,586 each plus freight, as recommended <br />by Staff. <br />LATE BLOOM FRUIT PICKING <br />The Board reviewed memo from Director of Utility Services <br />Terrance Pinto dated May 20, 1991: <br />BATE: <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />PREPARED <br />AND STAFFED <br />BY: <br />SUBJECT: <br />BACKGROUND <br />MAY 20, 1991 <br />JAMES E.

McMAHON <br />ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIS� <br />DEPARTMENT OF UTILI SERVICES <br />LATE BLOOM FRUIT SALES <br />On October 16, 1990, the Board of County Commissioners approved an <br />agreement to sell the merchantable fruit from our grapefruit groves. <br />Merchantable fruit was defined _as fruit free from freeze, hail, <br />fire, windstorms, citrus canker or other hazards, and meeting the <br />state and federal regulations for fresh fruit shipments for <br />interstate and export. Due to the freeze conditions over the 1989 <br />Christmas holiday, the 1990/91 grapefruit crop resulted in a large <br />amount of late bloom fruit. This late bloom fruit was not part of <br />the October 1990 agreement, because this fruit does not meet <br />regulations for interstate or export shipments. <br />71 <br />
