REPORT ON MEETING WITH INDIAN RIVER FARMS DRAINAGE DISTRICT Chairman Tippin reported that he and staff met with the Chairman of Indian River Farms Drainage District to settle the legal matter regarding placing our utilities in their right-of-way.

Chairman Tippin further proposed that we work on our public relations with the representatives of the. District because there is miscommunication and some incorrect impressions between the groups.
