Although I appreciate the Public Service Commission staff support of the termination of the existing territorial agreement between FPL and the City of Vero Beach and the charging of FPL rates, I am extremely disappointed that the Public Service Commission staff opposed the sale as structured "and negotiated by the parties and unanimously approved by the Florida Municipal Power Agency. The acquisition is intended to bring much-needed rate relief to the residents of the City of Vero Beach, and those residents in the unincorporated areas of Indian River County and the Town of Indian River Shores that are currently served by the City of Vero Beach, 1801 27th Street, Building A Vero Beach, FL 32960 (772) 226-1490
