TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION <br />A) Statement of the issues by City of Vero Beach Mayor Robbie Brackett and staff <br />Mayor Brackett stated that he and Chairman Flescher would first make their statements and then <br />staff would be making a presentation. He started his statements with the question why is the City <br />asking the County to recognize the permanent of generation of the 1989 Territorial Agreement <br />(TA). He reported that in the late 1960's the City was asked to provide utilities to the barrier island <br />areas adjacent to the City and the City supplied those utilities. In the early 1980's the County <br />made an unsuccessful attempt to provide utilities to the South Beach area. In 1984 the Board of <br />County Commissioners expressed their appreciation to the City for their cooperation of providing <br />service to that area. The County then granted the City their first permanent service territory of <br />South Beach for water in 1984 and sewer in 1985. In 1987 the City let the County collect the <br />franchise fee. The first year franchise fee for water and sewer were approved. He stated that those <br />agreements have since expired and the City continued to collect those fees on the County's behalf. <br />In 1989, after a joint meeting of the City Council and the County Commission, the 1989 Territorial <br />Agreement (TA) was adopted by the City and by the County. The City is currently working on <br />1 09/08/21 Joint City Council/County Commission <br />
