CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED THAT ATTORNEY COLLINS READ TO THOSE
PRESENT THE TEXT OF THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE.
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A FEW BRIEF
COMMENTS BEFORE READING THE ORDINANCE. HE NOTED THAT WHAT WE ARE CREATING
�I.S A MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT. THE CONCEPT OF THE TAXING UNIT IS
.THAT COUNTIES CAN PROVIDE SERVICES THAT ARE NORMALLY FOUND WITHIN THE
BOUNDARIES OF A MUNICIPALITY TO AREAS OUTSIDE A MUNICIPALITY THAT NEED
THESE TYPE SERVICES, I.E., FIRE PROTECTION, WATER DISTRIBUTION, SEWER,
GARBAGE, ETC, IN THIS WAY, WHEN THE COMMISSIONERS DESIGNATE A SPECIFIC
NEED IN AN UNINCORPORATED AREA, THE PEOPLE IN THE AREA WHERE THE NEED IS
PAY FOR IT, AND THE COST IS NOT SPREAD OVER THE WHOLE COUNTY. THE ATTORNEY
NOTE5�THAT FOUR AREAS IN THE COUNTY HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED AS HAVING THESE
NEEDS EITHER IMMINENTLY OR IN THE FUTURE, AND THEN READ TO THOSE PRESENT
THE TEXT OF THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED THAT THE COUNTY CONSULTING ENGINEER GO TO
THE MAP AND SHOW THOSE PRESENT THE BOUNDARIES OF THE AREA UNDER DISCUSSION,
WHICH INCLUDES THE GIFFORD AREA, U.D.U. AND DOWN TO THE NEW HOSPITAL.
KEN DAMEROW OF BEINDORF & ASSOCIATES APPEARED AS MR. BEINDORF
WAS OUT OF TOWN AND NOTED THAT THEY HAVE TRIED TO PICK OUT DISTRICTS THAT
HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR WATER SUPPLY. HE ALSO NOTED THAT THESE DISTRICTS
CAN BE CHANGED READILY. MR, DAMEROW THEN POINTED OUT THE BOUNDARIES OF
THE AREA UNDER DISCUSSION ON THE MAP, EXPLAINING THAT THE BOUNDARIES ARE
IRREGULAR BECAUSE THE MUNICIPALITIES ARE NOT INCLUDED.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT EXPLAINED TO THOSE PRESENT THAT AT THE
PRESENT TIME WE HAVE AN APPLICATION FOR A FEDERAL GRANT FOR THE PURPOSE
OF BUILDING WATER LINES TO THIS AREA, HE NOTED THAT THERE IS AN EXISTING
UTILITY COMPANY IN THIS AREA, URBAN DEVELOPMENT UTILITIES, WHICH HAS BEEN
CITED FOR VIOLATIONS, AND MANY OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS AREA MUST BOIL THEIR
WATER. HE CONTINUED THAT A TAXING DISTRICT IS ONE OF SEVERAL ALTERNATIVES,
AND IT COULD BE COMBINED WITH GRANT MONEY. HE NOTED THAT RATES WOULD HAVE
TO BE CHARGED, POSSIBLY A COMBINATION OF USER IS COST PLUS A SPECIAL TAX.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT IF THE TAXING DISTRICT IS NOT
CREATED PRIOR TO .JANUARY 1ST, IT WOULD BE ANOTHER TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE
SUCH A TAXING DISTRICT COULD BE ESTABLISHED. THIS IS SIMPLY A PRECAUTION
IN CASE WE ARE FACED WITH SOMETHING WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE CARE
4
DEC 161976
OF AND THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE THAT IS DES-
PERATELY, IN THIS CASE, NEEDED,
THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHED TO BE HEARD.
,
WILLIAM BALL OF SUMMERPLACE ASKED IF THE DISTRICTS BEING CON-
:SIDERED TODAY ARE APPROVED, WHY SHOULD JUST THESE FEW DISTRICTS BE ASKED
'TO PROVIDE WATER TO THE HOSPITAL WHICH IS ACOUNTY-SUPPORTED DISTRICT?
MR. DAMEROWN ANSWERED THAT !'HE HOSPITAL IS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF
THESE DISTRICTS, AND CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT THE HOSPITAI. HAS ITS OWN
WATER ALLOCATION, HAS CONSTRUCTED ITS OWN LINE, AND IS A CUSTOMER OF THE
CITY OF VERO BEACH.
WILLIAM KOOLAGE OF 815 26TH AVENUE STATED THAT HE IS VERY WELL
A
AWARE OF THE DIRE NEED IN THIS AREA FOR WATER SUPPLY AND SOMETHING MUST
BE DONE. HE FELT THERE HAS BEEN ENOUGH PUBLICITY ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR
AREA TO WARRANT SOMETHING BEING DONE, BUT NOTED HE WAS CONCERNED THAT THE
MAIN COST WILL FALL ON THE PRESENT OWNERS AND FELT AN IMPACT COST SHOULD
BE CONSIDERED TO LEVY ON THE NEW ARR?`.'ALS WHO COME INTO THIS AREA, MR.
KOOLAGE STATED THAT HE WOULD OBJECT TO CREATING ;NY NEW TAXING DISTRICT
WHERE THE NEED HAS NOT BEEN SUFFICIENTLY PUBLICIZED AND KNOWN BY THE TAX-
PAYER. HE WOULD, HOWEVER, AGREE WITH ESTABLISHING ONE IN THIS AREA, BUT
NOT IN THE OTHERS.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT WITH REFERENCE TO IMPACT
COSTS, HE FELT SUCH A COST WOULD BE PASSED ON TO THE NEW PURCHASER AS THE
LAND WOULD BE WORTH MORE. HE ALSO NOTED THAT THE STATE HAS TRIED TO IM-
POSE AN IMPACT TAX UPON DEVELOPMENT BUT HAS MET WITH VERY LITTLE SUCCESS
BECAUSE OF DOUBT OF THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF AN IMPACT FEE. COMMISSIONER
SIEBERT ALSO POINTED OUT THAT ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
A TAXING DISTRICT IS THAT IF WE ARE EVER IN A POSITION TO ACQUIRE A FEDERAL
GRANT WHICH MAY MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO PUT IN A SYSTEM BUT NOT SUPPLY ALL THE
MONEY REQUIRED, HAVING THE TAXING DISTRICT ALREADY SET UP WOULD MAKE IT
POSSIBLE TO PUT IN A SYSTEM AT THE LEAST POSSIBLE COST TO THE TAXPAYER.
IT IS REALLY A PRECAUTIONARY SAFEGUARD SO WE WILL BE PREPARED TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF A SITUATION WHERE WE COULD GET SOME GRANT MONEY. HE ALSO
NOTED THAT THE 3 MILL FIGURE PROBABLY WILL NEVER BE USED,
E
DEC 1 61976
Pei a 1 , 05
I
f
MR. KOOLAGE STATED THAT HE DID NOT BELIEVE A NEW PURCHASER IS
NECESSARILY GOING TO PAY THE IMPACT COST AND FELT YOU COULD NOT DISTINGUISH
BETWEEN RISES FROM INFLATION AND BENEFIT FROM PUTTING IN WATER SERVICE.
,HE CONTINUED THAT HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN PROVIDING MORE MONEY THAN IS
,NECESSARY OR MORE GOVERNMENT.
CHARLES LIMMER OF $08 22ND STREET INFORMED THE BOARD THAT, SPEAK-
ING AS A PAST MEMBER OF A BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, HE AGREED THAT THE
NEED FOR WHAT THE BOARD IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IS PREVALENT, AND HE FELT
THE BOARD IS TAKING THE RIGHT ROUTE WITH WHICH TO DO IT. HE FURTHER NOTED
THAT HE IS A MEMBER OF THE TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION BUT CANNOT GIVE ANY CON-
SENSUS AS THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER, HE ASKED
IF THE NUMBER OF CONNECTIONS AVAILABLE IN THE AREA HAS BEEN DETERMINED.
MR. DAMEROW REPLIED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO ACTUAL OR EVEN PRE-
LIMINARY DESIGN AT THIS POINT.
MR. ZIMMER ASKED IF THE BOARD IS IN A POSITION TO FIGURE HOW MUCH
ANTICIPATED REVENUE COULD BE APPLIED AGAINST THE COST,
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ANSWERED THAT THERE IS AN EXISTING WATER
SYSTEM IN THIS AREA AND WE WOULD BE SUPPLYING WATER TO THE FRANCHISE HOLDER,
WHO, IN TURN, SUPPLIES IT TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS FRANCHISE HOLDER HAS
BEEN FUNDED BY FNA, WHO HAS TO BE SURE THAT THE SYSTEM WILL BE SUPPORTED.
MR. ZIMMER ASKED WHETHER CONSTRUCTION WILL BE STOPPED AT STREETS
WHERE INSUFFICIENT REVENUE WILL BE PRODUCED OR WHETHER LINES WILL BE CON-
STRUCTED THROUGH UNDEVELOPED AREAS.
COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT WE DO HAVE A COUNTYWIDE SEWER AND
WATER STUDY MADE THREE YEARS AGO, BUT WE HAVE NOT GONE AS FAR AS ACTUAL
CONSTRUCTION. THE SETTING UP OF THESE DISTRICTS IS BECAUSE OF A STATE
LAW THAT REQUIRES US TO BE PREPARED AND IS REALLY A LAST RESORT AS FAR AS
THE BOARD IS CONCERNED.
MR, ZIMMER STATED THAT HE DID NOT FEEL THE CITIZENS SHOULD BE
AFRAID THAT JUST BECAUSE THESE DISTRICTS MAY BE SET UP, THEIR TAXES WILL
AUTOMATICALLY GO UP AND NOTED THAT IF A SYSTEM IS PUT IN AND OPERATED ON A
BUSINESSLIKE BASIS, A TAX WOULD NOT BE NECESSARY.
N
DEC 161976
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THE ONLY ONE OF THE TAXING
DISTRICTS BEING CONSIDERED TODAY THAT IS INTENDED TO BE USED IMMEDIATELY
IS THE ONE IN THE GIFFORD AREA.
MR. ZIMMER DISCUSSED THE AREA ON 76TH AREA AND SOUTH WHERE HE
FELT A WATER SYSTEM WOULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL AND ASKED WHETHER IN FUTURE
°PROCEDURE WITH SUBDIVISIONS, NEW DISTRICTS WOULD BE CREATED OR THE ONES
ALREADY ESTABLISHED MERELY ENLARGED,
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT THIS COULD BE HANDLED EITHER WAY,
BUT THE SAME PROCEDURE OF HOLDING PUBLIC HEARINGS WOULD HAVE TO BE FOLLOWED,
CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF THE DISTRICTS GREW LARGE ENOUGH, COULD
THEY BE MERGED, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT THE STATUTES ALLOW THIS.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE INFORMED THOSE PRESENT THE DISTRICTS BEING CON-
SIDERED TODAY ARE BASED ON THE SYSTEM WE HAVE NOW, THAT WE ARE'NOT CONTEM-
PLATING DRILLING WELLS AND PUTTING WATER TREATMENT PLANTS IN EACH DISTRICT.
HE POINTED OUT THAT ONE OF THE PRESENT PROBLEMS IS THAT SEVERAL WATER
FRANCHISE SYSTEMS ARE IN VIOLATION OF DER REQUIREMENTS AS TO QUALITY OF
WATER, ETC., AND ARE BEING CITED. CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT THIS SITUA-
TION COMES UP EVERY FEW MONTHS WHEN THE FRANCHISE HOLDER WANTS A RATE IN-
CREASE TO TRY TO BRING THE SYSTEM UP TO REQUIRED STANDARDS, AND HE FURTHER
NOTED THAT BY LAW THEY ARE ENTITLED TO A 10% RETURN, THE CHAIRMAN STATED
THAT THE COUNTY IS SETTING UP THESE TAXING DISTRICTS AS A PRECAUTIONARY
MEASURE IN CASE THESE FRANCHISE HOLDERS SHOULD DECIDE THEY CAN'T MAKE THE
INVESTMENT NEEDED TO MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS AND SIMPLY WALK AWAY. CHAIR-
MAN WODTKE NOTED THAT MANY OF THESE FRANCHISE HOLDERS WHO HAVE A DISTRIBU-
TION SYSTEM WOULD BE GLAD TO NEGOTIATE AND DISPOSE OF IT, AND THEY ARE
REQUIRED, SHOULD THE COUNTY GO INTO THESE AREAS AND HAVE WATER AVAILABLE,
TO TURN OVER THEIR DISTRIBUTION LINES. THE CHAIRMAN CONTINUED THAT, AS
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED RECENTLY, IF YOU CONTROL WATER, YOU CONTROL
EVERYTHING; IT CAN BE A STIFLING THING AND CAN STOP GROWTH, THUS THE
BOARD IS CONSIDERING SETTING UP THESE DISTRICTS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO COPE
IF IT CAN T BE DONE ANY OTHER WAY, ESPECIALLY AS THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE
AD VALOREM TAX MONIES AND CHARGE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTY.

DEC 161976 0
MR. ZIMMER NOTED THAT THERE IS A LOT OF RENTAL PROPERTY IN THE
GIFFORD AREA AND STATED HE FELT THE PROPERTY OWNER SHOULD SHARE IN THE
COST OF THE OPERATION AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE USERS,
EARL BACON OF 434 21ST ST., S.W., STATED HIS COMPLAINT IS THAT
;THE BOARD IS BYPASSING THE VOTERS WITHOUT HAVING A REFERENDUM. HE IN-
FORMED THE BOARD THAT SOME TIME AGO HE COLLECTED AS MANY AS 100 SIGNATURES
IN ONE DAY OPPOSING THE COUNTY GOING 1A THE WATER BUSINESS AND CAN'T
UNDERSTAND WHY, IF IT IS SUCH A GOOD DEAL FOR THE PEOPLE, A PEFERENDUM IS
NOT HELD TO LET THE VOTERS DECIDE.
ATTORNEY COLLINS ANSWERED THAT THE PEOPLE ELECT THE COMMISSIONERS
AND THE BASIC STATUTORY AUTHORITY UNDER WHICH.WE ARE ACTING TODAY ENVI-
SIONED THE ELECTED.OFFICIALS HAVING TO TAKE CERTAIN NECESSARY STEPS FOR
THE PUBLIC GOOD AND PROVIDED THIS VEHICLE, AND HE FEELS THERE IS NO REASON
THE BOARD SHOULD NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.
MR. BACON REITERATED THAT YOU ARE BYPASSING THE PEOPLE AND THE
DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM, WHICH IS A DANGERC�'S THING.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT HE SHERIFFS BUDGET IS NOT
PUT OUT FOR REFERENDUM NOR THE SCHOOL BUDGET, AND IF THEY WERE, THEY MIGHT
WELL BE VOTED DOWN. HE CONTINUED THAT WHEN IT COMES TO A SERVICE NECESSARY
TO SUSTAIN LIFE, HE FEELS THE BOARD MUST USE THEIR GOOD JUDGMENT FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE,
COMMISSIONER Loy STATED THAT THREE YEARS AGO WE DID PROPOSE A
COUNTYWIDE SEWER AND WATER SYSTEM AND THREE YEARS AGO YOU SAW THIS COMMIS-
SION TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION HOW THE PEOPLE FELT, AND WE DID BACK AWAY
FROM THE OVERALL SYSTEM. SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OCCASIONS
WHEN THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO US. SHE FURTHER NOTED THAT IN NOVEMBER
THE PEOPLE WERE ASKED TO VOTE ON A CHARTER WHICH SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED
THAT ANY TAXING DISTRICT WOULD HAVE TO BE TAKEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND THE
PUBLIC TURNED IT DOWN. SHE STATED THAT SHE FEELS YOU CANT ALWAYS TAKE
EVERYTHING TO A REFERENDUM VOTE.
MR. BACON REPLIED THAT HE DOES NOT LIKE "BIG BROTHER" GOVERNMENT,
AND FEELS THIS IS BEING BROUGHT ABOUT.

v,
DEC 16 1976 yea
MR, KOOLAGE NOTED THAT THERE WERE A NUMBER OF PROS AND CONS IN
REGARD TO THE CHARTER, AND IT DID NOT ALL HANG ON THE REFERENDUM, HE
ASKED IF THE COUNTY INTENDS TO TAKE OVER U A U,
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT WE MIGHT HAVE TO IF THEY WALK
'AWAY FROM THE SYSTEM; BUT ARE NOT PLANNING TO UNLESS IT BECOMES NECESSARY,
COMMISSIONER Loy POINTED OUT THAT WE ARE TRYING TO PROVIDE THEM
WITH A SUPPLY OF WATER,
CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT THE COUNTYWIDE WATER ANn SEWER SYSTEM
PROPOSED AND TURNED DOWN THREE YEARS AGO WAS FOR A SYSTEM ON A COUNTYWISE
ASSESSMENT BASIS, HE FURTHER NOTED THAT THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART OF THIS
SYSTEM WAS THE SEWER SYSTEM, WHICH IS NOT WHAT IS BEING CONSIDERED NOW AS
WATER IS THE ONLY THING WE ARE REFERRING T0,
THERE BEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER
SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY CLOSED THE

Re: Public Hearing on Water.Municipal Service
Taxing Units
Gentlemen:
I have been instructed by the Town of Orchid to advise you of
the Town's interest in the proposed water municipal service
taxing units. It is my understanding that the Board will be
holding public hearing on this question on Thursday, Decem-
ber 16, 1976.
The Town of Orchid is not included within the territories of
any of the proposed water municipal service taxing units. As
I understand it, none of the municipalities within the county
are included within the boundaries of the proposed units. How-
ever, the Town of Orchid is somewhat unique and it is not anti-
cipated within the foreseeable future that the Town would be in
a position to provide water to its residents.
The primary purpose of this letter is to inform you of the in-
terest of the Town of Orchid in securing a source for water
for its residents and to suggest the possibility of participa-
tion with the county in obtaining water for the Town of
Orchid.
As you probably know, the Town of Orchid is primarily rural
and agricultural in nature and at this point in time has a
limited number of residents. As a result, the operating bud-
get of the Town is minimal. Accordingly, it would be finan-
cially impractical, if not impossible, for the Town to
establish its own water system.
It would be greatly appreciated if you will give consideration
to the Town of Ordhid in your deliberations on the matter of
providing water for the county residents.
Respectfully submitted,
Darrell Fennell
Attorney for the Town of Orchid

CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT IF THE PEOPLE OF THE TOWN OF ORCHID
WISH TO BE INCLUDED IN THE TAXING DISTRICT, THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE A PUR-
CHASER OF WATER. IN ORDER TO BE INCLUDED THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A REFER-
ENDUM,
THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHED TO BE HEARD,
MARIAN BOURNE OF SUMMERPLACE ASKED WHETHER THE WATER WOULD HAVE
TO COME i°ROM THE WEST OF THE COUNTY.
MR. DAMEROW NOTED THAT THERE IS SOME ARTESIAN SUPPLY AVAILABLE
ON THE OCEANSIDE, BUT IT WOULD REQUIRE VERY EXPENSIVE TREATING.
MRS. BOURNE ASKED IF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO USE THE PIPES THAT
ARE GOING ALONG S.R. 510 UP TO JOHN'S ISLAND.,
CHAIRMAN.WODTKE NOTED THAT THE COUNTY DOES NOT OWN THESE LINES,
BUT HE FEELS WE ARE OPEN TO NEGOTIATION WITH THE OWNERS AND THIS MIGHT BE
A GOOD SOLUTION.
MRS. BOURNE ASKED HOW THE ASSESSMENT WOULD BE PAID AS SHE IS ON
A PRIVAT;' STREET AND ASSUMES THE LINE WOULD GO UP AlA,
ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT IF A LEVY IS MADE, EVERY PROPERTY
OWNER IN THAT DISTRICT WILL BE ASSESSED WHATEVER MILLAGE IS SET.
COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER NOTED THAT EASEMENTS WOULD HAVE TO BE
OBTAINED TO RUN LINES UP PRIVATE STREETS.
MRS, BOURNE ASKED IF, IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO HAVE FIRE HYDRANT
CONNECTIONS, AND CHAIRMAN WODTKE SAID THIS WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT PART OF
THE PROGRAM AND WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN FIRE INSURANCE RATES,
MRS. BOURNE NOTED THAT SOME PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE PUT DOWN DEEP
WELLS AND ARE GETTING POTABLE WATER AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD HAVE TO HOOK
UP TO THE SYSTEM.
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT IF A TOTAL SYSTEM GOES IN, IT WILL
BE COMPULSORY.
MRS, HELEN KENNEDY OF SUMMERPLACE ASKED WHAT QUALITY WATER THEY
WOULD GET,
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT THEY WOULD BE ASSURED OF GOOD
WATER AS IT WOULD HAVE TO MEET ALL STATE STANDARDS.
17
17
MRS. KENNEDY ASKED IF ORCHID ISLAND WERE INCLUDED, WHO ACTUALLY
WOULD BE INCLUDED AS THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF GROVE LAND THERE AND NOT
MANY RESIDENTS.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE REPLIED THAT THE TOWN OF ORCHID IS NOT INCLUDED
;.IN THIS PUBLIC HEARING, AND WHO IS EVENTUALLY INCLUDED WILL DEPEND ENTIRELY
UPON THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THAT MUNICIPALITY WHO WILL HAVE TO VOTE. HE
POINTED OUT THAT ORCHID ISLAND IS NOT INCLUDED.
COMMISSIONER Loy INFORMED THOSE PRESENT THAT ANY MUNICIPALITY
THAT WANTS TO BE PART OF A DISTRICT HAS TO VOTE TO BECOME A PART, AND IT
WOULD BE NO PROBLEM ONCE THEY VOTE TO ADD THEM TO AN EXISTING DISTRICT.
SHE $SATED THAT SHE WAS ENCOURAGED BY THE TOWN OF ORCHID'S INTEREST.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT AT THE PRESENT TIME, UNLESS SOME
UNKNOWN GRANT PROGRAM COMES ALONG, IT WILL BE QUITE SOME TIME BEFORE
SERVICING THIS AREA CAN BE CONSIDERED AS THERE IS NOT ENOUGH POPULATION
TO SUSTAIN IT ON A REASONABLE BASIS.
MRS. BOURNE SAID THAT SHE DID NOT INTERPRET THE LETTER FROM THE
TOWN OF ORCHID TO MEAN THAT THEY WERE ASKING TO BE INCLUDED IN THE TAXING
DISTRICT, BUT JUST THAT THEY WERE INTERESTED IN GETTING A SOURCE OF WATER.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE TO CONTRACT WITH
THE TOWN REGARDING A WATER SUPPLY,
MRS, BOURNE ASKED IF -JOHN'S ISLAND COULDN'T SUPPLY THEM AS THEY
HAVE WELLS AND PIPE.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT WHEN .JOHN'S ISLAND RAN THE PIPE,
THEY WERE VERY INTERESTED IN SUPPLYING SUMMERPLACE WITH WATER AND THEY
PROBABLY WOULD STILL BE INTERESTED IF A GROUP GOT TOGETHER AND APPROACHED
THEM.
MR, DAMEROW POINTED OUT THAT THE WATER THEY ARE DISCUSSING IS
UNTREATED WATER.
MRS. KENNEDY ASKED WHETHER SUMMERPLACE COULD NOT JUST ASK FOR
WATER LIKE THE TOWN OF ORCHID INSTEAD OF BEING INCLUDED IN A WATER DISTRICT.
ATTORNEY COLLINS POINTED OUT THAT THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING
THIS DISTRICT TODAY IS JUST TO PROVIDE A POSSIBLE SOURCE OF REVENUE IN THE
FUTURE AND HE DOES NOT FEEL WE SHOULD SPECULATE ON JUST WHAT THE TOWN OF
ORCHID WILL DO.
m
i`161976
MR. ZIMMER NOTED THAT IN THREE OF THE PROPOSED DISTRICTS, THERE
IS NO GRANT MONEY AVAILABLE AND NO INDICATION OF WHEN THERE WILL BE, AND
HE FELT THE ESTABLISHING OF THESE DISTRICTS SHOULD BE POSTPONED UNTIL
PETITIONS ARE RECEIVED FROM PEOPLE IN THESE AREAS INDICATING THEY DO WANT
:,THIS.
ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS RULED
THAT UNLESS A DISTRICT IS ESTABLISHED BY THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, TA;;cS MAY
N^T BE LEVIED DURING THAT YEAR, THE ORDINANCE IS DRAFTED SO THAT THERE
MAY NOT BE A LEVY AT ALL. WE ARE JUST TRYING TO GET THE DISTRICT IN
EXISTENCE, AND DURING BUDGET SESSIONS CAN DETERMINE THAT THERE WILL BE NO
TAX FOR ONE, TWO, THREE YEARS, OR WHATEVER TIME IS DESIRED, BUT WHEN THE
OPPORTUNITY COMES ALONG, THE DISTRICT WILL BE THERE.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE JOHN'S
ISLAND LINE SHOULD BECOME AVAILABLE, WE WOULD NEED TO PROVIDE TREATMENT
FOR THE WATER AND WE WOULD HAVE NO MONEY TO PUT IN THE TREATMENT FACILITY
WHEN THIS BECAME AVAILABLE IF WE DID NOT HAVE THE DISTRICT ESTABL'SHED.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT IN THE GIFFORD AREA WE HAVE A WATER
ALLOCATION FROM THE CITY OF VERO BEACH. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A
SOURCE OF WATER TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE WATER IN OTHER AREAS, AND WE CANNOT
PROVIDE WATER TO THESE AREAS WITHOUT PUTTING IN A FACILITY FOR TREATMENT.
HE CONTINUED THAT THE EAST WABASSO AREA IS BEING CONSIDERED SIMPLY BECAUSE
THERE IS A LINE GOING ACROSS TO THAT AREA NOW, THE CHAIRMAN STATED THAT
HE DOES NOT FEEL THERE WILL BE ANY TAX LEVIED THERE WITHIN TWO OR THREE
YEARS, BUT FEELS THE MECHANISM SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED IN CASE SOMETHING
SHOULD OCCUR SO THAT WATER COULD BE MADE AVAILABLE.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT ONE OF THE REASONS THIS DISTRICT
IS BEING CONSIDERED IS THAT THIS AREA HAS ONE OF THE POOREST SOURCES IN
THE COUNTY FOR WATER,
MR. BALL ASKED IF THE BOARD IS SAYING THAT THERE WILL BE NO
ASSESSMENT UNTIL WATER IS SUPPLIED, AND THE BOARD AGREED.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR US TO TAX A
MILL AND NOT DO ANYTHING IN THAT DISTRICT FOR A FEW YEARS.
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT IF YOU LEVIED AND BUILT UP A FUND
AND USED IT SOLELY IN THE DISTRICT LATER, HE FELT THAT WOULD BE LEGAL,
19
DEC 16 1976
.�
�, 19
MRS. KENNEDY NOTED THAT WATER SUPPLY IS THEIR BIG PROBLEM, AND
ASKED IF THEY HAVE WELL FIELDS AND PUMPS, WHERE WILL THEY BE LOCATED.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE LOCATED
ACROSS THE RIVER.
MRS, KENNEDY THEN ASKED IF TREATMENT PLANTS COULD BE PAID FOR
OUT OF 3 MILLS.
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE ANOTI-;'_'R
SC':'='JRCE OF FUNDING FOR THIS PURPOSE AND ANY MONEY USED IN THE DISTRICT MUST
BE SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE WATER,
THE CHAIRMAN ASKED THAT THE RECORD INDICATE THAT MR, KOOLAGE`S
REMARKS AT THE PREVIOUS PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE PERTINENT TO THIS ORDINANCE
ALSO.
THERE BEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION, ON MOTION BY
COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY
CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING,
ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER `7IEBERT,
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED ORDINANCE 76-24, CkEATING A WATER MUNICIPAL

ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT THIS MUNICIPAL SERVICE AREA IS SET
UP FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING LANDFILL AND WASTE DISPOSAL WITHIN THE
ENTIRE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY AND ESTABLISHES A MILLAGE
CEILING OF 3 MILLS. THE MONIES RAISED WITHIN THIS UNIT CAN BE USED FOR
ACQUISITION, DEVELOPMENT, OPERATION, OR MAINTENANCE OF THE SOLID WASTE
DISPOSAL FACILITY, ETC. THE REST OF THE TERMINOLOGY OF THIS ORDINANCE IS
VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE PREVIOUS ORDINANCES JUST APPROVED.
THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHED TO BE HEARD,
MR. KOOLAGE STATED THAT HE FEELS THIS IS A VERY NECESSARY ORDI—
NANCE AND WOULD HOPE THAT THE BOARD COULD PROCEED WITH HASTE IN GETTING,
37
0`- _ 37
THIS ACCOMPLISHED, HE NOTED THAT THIS ORDINANCE ALSO CARRIES A 3 MILL CAP
WHICH HE FEELS IS QUITE CONSIDERABLE AND FEELS THAT THE BOARD HAS MORE
THAN PLAYED IT SAFE BY SETTING THIS AMOUNT; HOWEVER, IN THIS PARTICULAR
CASE, IF THE LAND MUST BE PURCHASED, IT MAY NOT BE TOO MUCH.
COMMISSIONER LOY AGREED THAT THEY HAVE PLAYED IT SAFE WITH THIS
.:AMOUNT, BUT NOTED THAT IN THE ROCKRIDGE SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT, THEY HAVE
THE AUTHORIZATION TO LEVY UP TO 3 MILLS AND HAVE NEVER COME ANYWHERE NEAR
THIS AMOUNT.
ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THE 3 MILL FIGURE IS STRICTLY ARBI-
TRARY AND WAS HIS RECOMMENDATION BASED ON WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THE ONLY TAXING DISTRICT
THAt"TAXES TO ITS LIMIT IS THE SCHOOL BOARD.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE REMARKED, AS HE HAD STATED PREVIOUSLY, THAT THIS
IS ONLY ONE ALTERNATIVE WE WILL BE CONSIDERING AND POSSIBLY THE LEAST DE-
SIRABLE.
THERE BEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER
DEESON, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY CLOSED THE
PUBLIC HEARING.
MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER

TION MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT WITHIN THE ENTIRE UNINCORPORATED AREA

THE COUNTY IS FACING TERRIFIC EXPENSES AND NEEDS THE MILLAGE, AND COMMIS-
SIONER Loy STATED THAT SHE FEELS THERE IS MORE JUSTIFICATION FOR IT HERE
THAN ANYWHERE ELSE.
COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER NOTED THAT THIS DISTRICT CAN BRING IN
MONEY.
IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, THE BOARD AGREED ANY MONEY BROUGHT IN
WOULD BE NEEDED, AND CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HIS ONLY CONCERN IS THAT
