• West Wabasso - $21.00 • Oceanside* - $57.00 • Oslo Park* - $25.47 *Per Lot Charge A discussion ensued regarding the fact that some of the rates have increased because of an anticipated increase from Florida Power and Light (FPL). A request was made for staff to double check the numbers to see if they are appropriate. Inquiries were made about the conversion to LED lighting for the County; and the possibility of the institution of an LED Lighting Program. The Board wished to begin discussions with FPL about capital costs to install the lighting over a period of time; and the anticipated savings that installing the lighting would provide. It was the hope of the Board to bring the issue back for public discussion beginning sometime next year. The Chairman opened the floor for public comments; there were none.
