Commissioner Adams asked about the status of the Sebastian utilities purchase and mentioned that the southern states utility issue is of great importance with the State at this time due to a bid with the Public Utilities Commission to not allow counties to regulate rates if they have utilities in 2 or more counties. Attorney Vitunac advised that Administrator Chandler has arranged several meetings with the County's bond counsel and staff and has everything in good shape. Administrator Chandler stated that the County has just about finalized its internal analysis, both in terms of the Utilities Department and the work with the underwriters, and is about 2 weeks away from meeting with the City. The purchase is progressing very well. Attorney Vitunac advised that part of the reason for his attendance at the seminar is that the State's experts are giving a course on what Indian River County has been doing. He felt it would be interesting to see what others think of our methods and see if we can pick up any pointers, particularly with regard to negotiating a purchase and sale agreement.

Vitunac at a Seminar on Utility Acquisitions on January 26, 1995, in Tampa, Florida, relative to the acquisition of Sebastian utilities, as recommended by staff. L.
