Director Pinto offered to meet with the Health Department in <br />an effort to assist Mr. and Mrs. Capobianco with their son's <br />problem, and Chairman Macht stated that they will try to work it <br />out. <br />Rim Conant, 1875 6th Avenue Southwest, stated that most of the <br />families in the area cannot afford the assessment or the possible <br />cost to hire a plumber, plus a monthly water bill. The majority of <br />the children in the area are either on a subsidized or free lunch <br />program and the residents are scared and angry. They are under the <br />impression that the Utilities Department will put liens on their <br />properties and enforce the liens for this service, which is not <br />needed or wanted. They are all concerned that if, for whatever <br />reason, they cannot pay the assessment, they could lose their <br />homes. Ms. Conant felt that communication with the residents was <br />not appropriately handled as some residents did not receive <br />notification until Monday, March 6, 1995 regarding the <br />informational meeting being held that evening. There were a few <br />who did not receive notification until after that date. The <br />residents feel their water is safe and cannot understand why.the <br />County would force them to have water lines without forcing them to <br />connect to the lines. They are also questioning how safe municipal <br />water might be. Ms. Conant stated that she sees a lot of people <br />who have County water in their homes standing in line at the water <br />machine at Publix. She moved to Vero Beach Highlands to get away <br />from County water and the majority of residents said they would not <br />have built there if the house had been connected to County water. <br />Their water is fine and they don't need or want County water and <br />they are asking the County to please review the proposal. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked Ms. Conant to please define "access <br />fee" as she is using it, and Ms. Conant explained it is the fee to <br />run the lines, the assessment. <br />Mr. Chastain stated that he had learned the informational <br />letters that were mailed February 28th and March 1st, by certified <br />mail, return receipt requested, were not delivered by the postal <br />service until March 6th. They had never experienced such poor <br />postal service before. He knows that many residents, however, <br />received notification on March 1st because he had many calls. <br />Normally notices sent in this manner are received in 2-3 days and <br />this is the first time he has ever experienced a week's delay in <br />mail delivery. <br />Bryan Woodrow, 1346 17th Place Southwest, advised that he <br />moved to Vero Beach Highlands because there was no County water and <br />now he is being assessed. It is going to cost him $4,000-$4,500 to <br />Boa 94 Y., -Jr <br />MARCH 21, 1995 27 653 <br />
