EOor, 10 J" PAGE 858 <br />2. Sewer Main Extension, per foot measured along front <br />of property served, where service is available on <br />both sides of facilities, $15.77. Water Main <br />Extension, per foot measured along front of property <br />served, where service is only available on one side <br />of facility, $31.54. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that <br />the Board of County Commissioners approve the adoption of the <br />attached resolution which sets forth the above-described changes <br />and amends portions of Resolutions 91-31 and 95-16, which adopted <br />rates, fees and charges for the Department of Utility Services <br />pursuant to the authority of Ordinance 91-9, etc. <br />Director Pinto advised that Mr. David Green (Economist with <br />CH2M Hill) was present to answer questions on the analysis. <br />Commissioner Ginn requested a better index and better cross <br />reference for the analysis. She asked why Indian River County has <br />one of the highest impact fees and sewer rates in the state. <br />David Green advised that the capital investment in the system <br />is the main determinant of the impact fee. <br />Commissioner Ginn thought the report was misleading and then <br />proceeded to ask several questions. Mr. Green responded to her <br />questions in detail and further explained various factors which led <br />to the increase in impact fees and decrease in the water rate. <br />Commissioner Ginn felt the inflation rate used (5%) was high <br />and Mr. Green pointed out that the analysis was projecting to the <br />year 2010 and that it was better to use a higher figure, rather <br />than lower, and then make an adjustment. He also explained the <br />discount rate. <br />Commissioner Tippin pointed out that the comparison of the <br />county!s current and proposed water and wastewater fees with those <br />of other Florida communities (Exhibit ES -2) was not in the analysis <br />and he wished to see it. <br />Several Commissioners voiced their agreement. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously tabled the <br />matter for one week. <br />101 all) .5 01100 M T-61 fig 1,1311 511WX 17) 13 1 REIM 91 X-VIDEK" Rp) <br />FOR "OLD GIFFORD TAYCEE BUILDING" <br />Deputy County Attorney Will Collins reviewed a Memorandum of <br />March 5, 1997: <br />44 <br />March 11, 1997 <br />
