AUG a `991 BOOK 83 potential for participation. We are sizing things and doing certain improvements, and at some point, that will exclude them from even the possibility of hooking up into our system. Commissioner Eggert noted that although we have given Sebastian a lot of warning, possibly we should allow them 30 to 60 days, but Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that they said they want to get out. Commissioner Eggert suggested a Motion to eliminate Sebastian from all water projects and the approval to finalize negotiations for the elimination of the City from the wastewater service within 30 days. Discussion continued at some length, and Director Pinto stressed that we have a serious problem with the water; we have got to tie those little water plants together. As to the wastewater, he felt we must see that the people we have committed to get service unless Sebastian says we are not to, but we will not sell any more capacity. Commissioner Scurlock further clarified that when any capacity is turned back to us, it will be transferred into the unincorporated area. Chairman Bird did not wish to bring up the specter of a moratorium, but he felt the people should understand there may be a problem with continuing development if they can't tie into our system and the City's system isn't ready. Commissioner Scurlock commented that actually we have plenty of demand for capacity in the unincorporated area; so, if the City does want a relationship with the County in the future, they better establish that very quickly and tell us on what basis. We cannot leave this open forever. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously agreed to eliminate Sebastian from all water projects as of now and from the wastewater service within 30 days if we hear nothing to indicate they wish to be included.
