� � r construction of the golf course so that all facilities are ready and available for the opening of play which we are hoping will be the first of next year. Director Davis advised that we have 240 calendar days to complete the project. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously. STATUS OF INSTALLATION OF TRAFFIC LIGHT AT U.S #1 AND HIGHLAND DRIVE - VERO HIGHLANDS Commissioner Bird noted that staff has been working on the installation of a signal at this intersection for some time, and asked Public Works Director Jim Davis to elaborate on its status. Director Davis reported that we retained a consultant to design the signalization and those plans were finished plans last winter. The plans were sent to the DOT and we received preliminary approval in December, 1991. In March the DOT sent some changes that they wanted incorporated into the design and the consultants have just completed changing the drawings. We also are working with the DOT for them to fund a portion of the work since U.S. #1 is a state highway. The DOT has a continuing contract with a signal installation company to provide certain equipment and materials, and -the County is trying to take advantage of that to save approximately $15,000-$20,000 on the project. Now that the changes have been incorporated into the drawings, we hope the DOT will approve the project quickly. The DOT has ordered the poles which will be delivered to the County within 30 days, and we have asked FP&L to move their power lines as soon as possible. Director Davis estimated that the light would be in full operation in 60-75 days. Commissioner Bowman inquired about the light at the corner at CR -512 and Barber Street, and Director Davis advised that the signalization installation is complete and we are waiting for FP&L to energize the controller in the signal. 64 C BOOK C�c� PAut " J
