totally unfair of you to make that accusation. We will handle with the Shores our issue based upon <br /> the law. <br /> Mr. Brown said okay,now I got to say something... <br /> Mr. Turner said I have the floor, thank you very much. We're going to make the same argument <br /> on the position on the 1989 agreement based upon the law. That's the reason we're here and I <br /> think it's unfair and improper for you to be waving around one(1)agreement and saying you want <br /> to enforce this one,but you want to breach the other one. That is not the case at all. We are here <br /> to make sure that our rights are protected under the 1989 agreement, That's why we're here. <br /> We're not here for the Town. We're not here on the rates for the Town, but we're here on the <br /> agreement. That's why we're here. <br /> Mr. Brown asked so do I have the floor now. <br /> Mr. Turner answered yes. <br /> Mr.Brown asked can I speak, thank you. He said I'm going to address a couple of things. First <br /> the sermon that I mentioned was after the County made an offer that I thought that the City was <br /> receptive to the general concept. We were trying to make a deal where we would set aside our <br /> differences on the Territorial Agreement and after that we received a sermon about how the spirit <br /> of cooperation had been lost recently. Apparently blame was assigned to the County on that in my <br /> understanding of it. So we were there in the spirit of cooperation. To Mr. Turner's point, the <br /> reason we are here is the 164 dispute. I agree and we came trying to make an agreement, a <br /> settlement to avoid litigation. What the City has proposed now is ridiculous. It would be if we <br /> lost the suit. I don't want to engage in litigation with the City. If this is the City's position we <br /> have no choice but to litigate this. You can say all you want about the Town being something <br /> separate. I think it speaks to behavior and I got to hear about how we weren't cooperating. I don't <br /> know how you say that you're the ones that are cooperative when you're talking about not honoring <br /> the agreement with the Town. So yeah, maybe legally it is something that you can say that isn't <br /> relevant here, but it speaks to the overall relationship and again, I don't know how we enter into <br /> anything with the City. I think we've tried to come up with something to avoid litigation between <br /> the City and the County because I don't think it's fruitful for us to both spend our taxpayer dollars <br /> all of which your taxpayers are our taxpayers to fight each other, but with this position the City <br /> gives us no choice so I don't see a path forward here. <br /> Mr. Turner said thank you for that lecture. I'm assuming then that at this point we've reached an <br /> impasse and that the next step would be scheduling a meeting between the effective governing <br /> bodies. So, if there's nothing further to say... Mr. Bolton has wanted to say something so I <br /> recognize Mr. Bolton. <br /> Mr. Bolton said I understand the position that you're asked by County residents that there is no <br /> say. That is not unique to Indian River County. It is all over the State. If you look at the City of <br /> 8 07/22/21 Conflict Resolution <br />
