I <br />MAY 2 41994 Boa 92 PataE 505 <br />FPL, therefore, respectfully objects to this proposed ordinance. If <br />the ordinance is adopted, FPL regretfully will be unable to comply. <br />FPL wishes to maintain good relations with its customers and with <br />all local governments within FPL's service area. While FPL must <br />object to this ordinance, FPL can promise you that it will <br />determine the location of any future transmission lines in Indian <br />River County in good faith and according to FPL's statutory <br />obligation to provide reasonably reliable, adequate, efficient and <br />cost-effective electric service. <br />Very truly yours, <br />X414 <br />e_ -`Jean G. Howard, Attorney <br />for Florida Power & Light <br />Company <br />Attorney Howard assured the Board that FP&L is very concerned <br />about local concerns, but they feel very strongly that adopting the <br />proposed ordinance is not the solution. <br />During lengthy debate of the issue, the Commissioners <br />reiterated their belief that people need a forum to express their <br />concerns about high-voltage power lines going through their - <br />residential neighborhoods. <br />The following people spoke in support of the proposed <br />ordinance: <br />Chris Gannow, 700 25th Street, SW <br />Bruce Barkett, local attorney <br />Nancy offutt, Board of Realtors <br />Brenda Kramer, 730 25th Street, SW _ <br />Polly Schwey, 1958 33rd Avenue <br />Cecil King, 1746 25th Street, SW <br />Bonnie Rohani, 644 25th Street, SW <br />Polly Schwey felt the ordinance should require a time certain <br />for a meeting to be held within 30 days or so because it takes <br />, <br />weeks to prepare for these meetings. People need to consult <br />engineers and attorneys because it is a very detailed, technical <br />matter to bring alternatives to the Board. <br />There being no others who wished to be heard, the Chairman <br />closed the Public Hearing. <br />
