During a previous joint meeting, the City emphasized septic to sewer projects as a high priority. County and City staff collaborated for more than a year and issued a report identifying 188 parcels, with 96 developed but not connected to sewer systems, and 92 vacant. Administrator Titkanich outlined the Utility Department's plan which included installing 13 sewer mains, with seven in existing rights-of-way and six requiring easements. The ILA detailed a partnership for installing these sewer mains, with the City covering material costs up to $100,000 and the County managing the project using its own staff to help reduce costs. The County would waive certain connection and extension fees, potentially amounting to $200,000 to $250,000, but property owners would still need to pay the necessary sewer impact fee. The project was to start within 60 days after the agreement became effective. The Indian River County, Florida Page 11
