said that maybe they caucus separately and then meet again. He would think that they would agree that <br />there is a tentative resolution today and hold off on the 50 -days so that they have time to sort through <br />whatever issues that they have. <br />Mr. Falls commented that if that meets the spirit of the Florida Statutes then he would support that as <br />well. However, he would not like to have a time that runs on and on. He would like to see them agree <br />that within the next couple of weeks that they schedule another meeting and talk about this. He <br />expressed how important it was that they get together again and "hammer" out the details. <br />Mr. Turner asked if they want to say now that they are entering a phase that there is framework for a <br />settlement that needs to be fine-tuned, but looks like something that the parties can agree to. If they <br />could reach an agreement then under the Florida Statutes they can extend the time and agree to meet. <br />However, he would still like to have a date for the future to keep them on track for the joint meeting. The <br />50 -days will be around August 15t. He was thinking that the Last week in July might be a good time for the <br />joint meeting between the City Council and the Board of County Commissioners. <br />Mr. Reingold said that he would rather not schedule that meeting yet. He is hoping that they can go <br />through the different points and figure out how far apart they are, but not set a date for the joint meeting. <br />He is confident that they can get this done and agreed that they should not drag this out. He is committed <br />to keep moving forward and meeting. <br />Mr. Falls suggested meeting again before the end of July. <br />Mr. Reingold said that he would be out of town the last week of July. <br />The next public meeting was set for July 22"d at 10:00 a.m. <br />Mr. Reingold asked Mr. Turner if he wanted to treat this as a continued meeting until July 22"d. Mr. Turner <br />answered yes. <br />Mr. Turner stated that they would recess this matter right now and will continue it to July 22nd at 10:00 <br />a.m. <br />Mr. Bolton commented that they have looked at some of the service standards that were in question. <br />Their intent is to expand their STEP System outside the City limits into the County unincorporated areas <br />so they could then have a septic to sewer conversion process for their entire service territory. He would <br />list some of these things that they plan on doing and have it available for their next meeting, which he <br />said might help in the agreement process. <br />Mr. Reingold said that would be great. He expressed that their broader concept was just simply a <br />statement in the agreement saying that unincorporated customers would have the same quality of water <br />as City customers. <br />Mr. Brown added that he was looking for something that would say that they are running the system <br />basically agnostic to where the City limit line is, meaning that unincorporated residents would get the <br />same service as City residents. <br />Page 5 June 24, 2021 Conflict Resolution Minutes <br />
