The <br />acquisition will bring much-needed rate relief to the residents of the City of Vero Beach, and those <br />residents in the unincorporated areas of Indian River County and the Town of Indian River Shores that are <br />currently served by the City of Vero Beach, while at the same time benefiting FPL's other customers. I <br />believe that the sale of the City of Vero Beach electric utility to FPL will be the single most important <br />economic driver for the future of our community. The sale of the Vero Beach electric utility to FPL will be <br />the culmination of an effort that has been supported by the Indian River County Board of County <br />Commissioners and residents within the unincorporated areas of Indian River County for many years. <br />Sincerely, <br />Peter D. O'Bryan <br />Chairman <br />Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br />Cc: Public Counsel J.R. Kelly <br />Kenneth Rubin, Esq., FPL <br />216 <br />
