ADMINISTRATOR, AND TOM RYAN, ASSISTANT HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE COMMENTED THAT THE ACTUAL PURCHASE PRICE
IS $290,000 AND NOT THE TOTAL $500,600 SET OUT IN THE CONTRACT BECAUSE
PART OF THIS FIGURE IS ASSUMPTION OF THE BOND ISSUE AND THE AUTHORITY
IS ALREADY THERE FOR THE BOND ISSUE TO BE PAID OFF. HE STATED THAT

HOSPITAL AND THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND STRONGLY'RECOMMENDED

REGULAR TERMITE INSPECTION, AND EXCEPT FOR THE OB AREA, THERE SHOULD
BE NO PROBLEMS, HE FELT THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THE ACTION TAKEN
BY THE BOARD WILL SAVE THE TAXPAYERS OF THIS COUNTY A GREAT DEAL OF
MONEY.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT WE ARE NOT ONLY ACQUIRING
THE HOSPITAL, BUT ALSO A GREAT AMOUNT OF LAND AS THIS PURCHASE
INCLUDES A LARGE ADDITIONAL ACREAGE OF LAND NORTH OF THE HOSPITAL
IN THE SPILLWAY AREA. THE CHAIRMAN FELT THIS HAS GREAT POTENTIAL el
FOR THE FUTURE NEED FOR A GOVERNMENTAL COMPLEX.
WILLIAM KOOLAGE OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF RETIRED
PERSONS STATED THAT HE IS DISTURBED BY THE CHAIRMAN SAYING THE
PURCHASE PRICE IS ONLY $290,000 AND IGNORING THE BOND ISSUE, WHICH
HE FELT IS MISLEADING.

MR. KOOLAGE THEN DISCUSSED THE PROJECTED SAVINGS THAT WOULD
BE REALIZED BY CONSOLIDATING GOVERNMENTAL OFFICES AND ASKED WHAT THE
ANTICIPATED SAVINGS WOULD AMOUNT TO.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT THE LAST TIME HE CHECKED
WE WERE PAYING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $26,000 PER YEAR FOR RENTAL OF

9 BOOK 35 PAU,r- 120
J
HOSPITAL AND THE COUNTY COMMISSION AND MOST IMPORTANT THE TAXPAYERS
THEY REPRESENT. HE NOTED, AS ONE ADDITIONAL POINT, THE COUNTY
COMMISSION IS PAYING FAR LESS THAN THE APPRAISED VALUE OF THE
COMPLEX, AND THE .HOSPITAL BOARD FEELS THE PAYMENT ACTUALLY IS
SOMEWHAT OF A TOKEN PAYMENT BECAUSE IT IS TWO GOVERNMENTAL BODIES
WORKING TOGETHER. HE CONTINUED THAT THEY ARE VERY PLEASED THAT THE
BOARD IS CONSIDERING THIS PURCHASE AND CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE BOARD S
UNDERSTANDING Of THE HOSPITAL`S FINANCIAL SITUATION AND THE OFFER
TO MAKE CERTAIN FUNDS AVAILABLE PRIOR TO THE ACTUAL CLOSING DATE.
MEMBERS OF THE PRESS INQUIRED ABOUT THE SPECIFIC APPRAISED
VALUE OF THE HOSPITAL AND MR. SORENSEN STATED THAT ACTUALLY IT HAS
NOT BEEN APPRAISED, BUT HE BELIEVED IT WOULD AMOUNT TO SIGNIFICANTLY
MORE -THAN THE CONTRACT PRICE.
THE PRESS NEXT QUESTIONED THE VALUE OF THE LAND INVOLVED,
AND CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT TWO OF THE BLOCKS ARE OWNED BY
VARIOUS GOVERNMENTAL BODIES, AND HE FELT THE OTHER ACREAGE IN THE
SPILLWAY WOULD BE WORTH AT LEAST $100,000, NOT INCLUDING ANY
IMPROVEMENTS.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED
ON AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
THE CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE OLD HOSPITAL AND
SURROUNDING PROPERTY WAS THEN FORMALLY EXECUTED, AND COPY OF THE

CHAIRMAN WODTKE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT AN ORDINANCE
PROPOSING A MORATORIUM ON NEW SEWER AND WATER FRANCHISES AND
EXPANDING OF ANY EXISTING SEWER AND WATER FRANCHISES HAS BEEN
DRAFTED AND IS SCHEDULED FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON .DULY 5TH, THE
CHAIRMAN ASKED ABOUT THE TRANSFER OF AN EXISTING FRANCHISE
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THE ORDINANCE WOULD NOT AFFECT
THAT. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE BOARD STILL WOULD HAVE TO JUDGE
WHETHER THE TRANSFER IS PROPER, BUT HE DID NOT BELIEVE THE TRANSFER
OF AN EXISTING FRANCHISE FROM ONE COMPANY TO ANOTHER WOULD AFFECT
THE STATUS QUO BECAUSE THE FRANCHISE AREA WOULD REMAIN THE SAME.
COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER QUESTIONED THE PHRASE "UNTIL.AN
OVERALL.000NTY PLAN CAN BE DETERMINED" AND ASKED WHAT THAT MEANT
EXACTLY.
ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THE ENGINEERS WILL BE COMING
UP WITH SOME REPORTS PURSUANT TO DIRECTIONS GIVEN THEM BY THE BOARD
AND A TIME PERIOD SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED WHICH WOULD COINCIDE IN
SOME FASHION WITH THE REPORTS TO BE GIVEN BY THE ENGINEERS.
COMMISSIONER LOY FELT THIS WHOLE PROGRAM IS ON SOMEWHAT
OF AN EMERGENCY BASIS. SHE ASKED ENGINEER BEINDORF IF, IN HIS OPINION,
SIX MONTHS WOULD BE A REASONABLE TIME PERIOD TO UPDATE RULES AND
REGULATIONS AND DETERMINE WHERE WE ARE GOING ON OUR COUNTY SEWER
AND WATER PLAN.
ENGINEER BEINDORF FELT SIX MONTHS WOULD BE SATISFACTORY
AS A MINIMUM TIME PERIOD.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT_POSSIBLY THERE SHOULD BE A
PROVISION INCLUDED IN CASE AN EMERGENCY SITUATION ARISES IN ORDER TO GIVE
THE BOARD SOME LATITUDE, I.E.., IF A BANKRUPTCY WERE DECLARED.
ATTORNEY COLLINS POINTED OUT THAT THE ORDINANCE ALWAYS
COULD BE AMENDED ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS.
AFTER FURTHER CONVERSATION, IT WAS AGREED THAT A TIME
PERIOD COULD BE ESTABLISHED AT THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I have reviewed the bid proposal of McCullers and Howard Well

River County at Hobart Park. I feel that the Countv should
negotiate with McCullers and Howard on several of the items
contained in the proposal, so I would like to 'discuss the bid

to see this program progressing smoothly.
Sincerely,
GERAGHTY & MILLER, ITIC .
Thomas L. Tessier
Senior Hydrogeologist
ENGINEER BEINDORF STATED THAT THEY ARE ALSO RECOMMENDING
A CHANGE IN REGARD TO THE PERFORMANCE BOND BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A
LARGE CONTRACT, AND MR. MCCULLERS IS NOT SET UP TO HAVE PERFORMANCE
BONDS. HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT IN LIEU OF A PERFORMANCE BOND,
MR. MCCULLERS HAS SUGGESTED THAT THE COUNTY SIMPLY NOT MAKE ANY
PAYMENTS UNTIL THE JOB IS ACCEPTED BY THE ENGINEERS. ENGINEER
BEINDORF FELT THAT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD ARRANGEMENT -AND STATED THAT
THEY HAVE WAIVED PERFORMANCE BONDS ON OTHER SMALL JOBS. HE CONTINUED
THAT THE ENGINEERS ARE NOW RECOMMENDING THAT THE BOARD APPROVE A
CONTRACT BEING PREPARED WITH MCCULLERS & HOWARD WELL DRILLING IN
CONFORMANCE WITH THE CHANGES SET OUT IN THE LETTER FROM GERAGHTY
& MILLER AND ALSO THAT A PERFORMANCE BOND BE WAIVED..
TOM TESSIER OF GERAGHTY & MILLER THEN REVIEWED THE VARIOUS
SUGGESTED ITEMS OF CHANGE WITH THE BOARD. HE NOTED THAT IF THEY CAN
USE THE DRIVE SCREEN METHOD, IT WOULD ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR
INSTALLATION OF SET SCREENS. IF IT SHOULD TURN OUT THAT THE SET
SCREENS WILL BE NECESSARY IN SOME SITES, THEY CAN BE PAID FOR PER
JUN 2 11978
29 35ll
SCREEN. USING THE DRIVE SCREEN METHOD WOULD -MAKE THE COLLECTION OF
SAMPLES LESS EXPENSIVE, AND THEY ARE RECOMMENDING A DROP FROM
$50.00 PER SAMPLE TO $40.00.
MR. TESSIER CONTINUED THAT ON THE TEST WELL THEY ARE
RECOMMENDING A CHANGE IN PRICE DOWN TO $12,130 BASED ON COMPARABLE
DRILLERS IN THE AREA, AND ALSO THE JOB WAS BID WITH STAINLESS STEEL
WELL SCREENS WHILE THE BID SPECIFICALLY CALLED FOR IRON SCREENS, WHICH
ARE ABOUT HALF THE PRICE. MR. TESSIER FURTHER NOTED THAT THE BIDDER
ASSUMED THAT THE OBSERVATION WELLS WOULD REQUIRE 10' OF SCREEN AND
THEY ONLY REQUIRE ABOUT 3', WHICH AGAIN WOULD DROP THE PRICE.
ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS QUESTIONED THE REASON FOR USING
IRON SCREENS RATHER THAN STAINLESS STEEL, OTHER THAN THE COST
DIFFERENTIAL, AND MR. TESSIER EXPLAINED THE REASON IS BECAUSE THIS
IS AN EXPLORATORY WELL AND NOT A PERMANENT ONE, BUT IN ANY EVENT
IRON SCREEN WILL STAND UP FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED HOW THE OVERALL PRICE COMPARES WITH
THE ORIGINAL BID.
ENGINEER BEINDORF STATED THAT IT WILL SHOW ONLY A COUPLE
THOUSAND DOLLARS DIFFERENCE IN A LUMP SUM, BUT IF WE GET INTO THE
UNITS, IT WILL MAKE A FURTHER DIFFERENCE. HE STATED THAT THEY FELT
THERE WAS ENOUGH REDUCTION TO WARRANT NEGOTIATIONS, AND INFORMED THE
BOARD THAT MR. MCCULLERS HAS AGREED TO THESE FIGURES.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT THE TIME FRAME, AND ENGINEER
BEINDORF STATED THAT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO ESTABLISH A TIME FRAME
BECAUSE SUBSURFACE WORK HAS MANY UNKNOWNS - YOU HAVE GOT TO TEST AND
SEARCH AND THAT IS WHAT TAKES THE TIME. ONCE.THE CONTRACTOR IS GIVEN
NOTICE, IT IS NORMALLY REQUIRED THAT WORK BE STARTED WITHIN TEN DAYS.
ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE CHAIRMAN TO EXECUTE A
CONTRACT WITH MCCULLERS AND HOWARD WELL DRILLING, INC.
CONSISTENT WITH THE PRESENTATION MADE BY MR, TESSIER OF GERAGHTY &
MILLER AND AGREED TO WAIVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A PERFORMANCE BOND WITH
THE PROVISION THAT NO PAYMENT WILL BE MADE UNTIL THE WORK IS COMPLETED
TO THE ENGINEER'S SATISFACTION.

CARL HEFNER, COUNTY LITTER OFFICERIREPORTED THAT HIS NEW

OR FOUR SPECIFIC SPOTS IN THE COUNTY, MAINLY ONE IN FELLSMERE. HE
.THEN DISCUSSED THE COVERING OF LOADS, AND STATED THAT THIS SITUATION

COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER ASKED IF THEY HAD DISCUSSED TRYING TO
SET SOME MONEY ASIDE.FOR A REALLY BIG PROJECT OR WHETHER THEY WERE JUST
INTENDING TO SPEND IT ALL EACH YEAR.
MR. MORTON STATED THAT MANY VARIOUS PROJECTS HAVE BEEN DIS-
CUSSED AND MENTIONED CIVIC CENTERS PLANNED IN VARIOUS OTHER COUNTIES.
HE FELT THE LAW DOES NOT STIPULATE THAT THE MONEY HAS TO BE SPENT IN
A GIVEN YEAR SO IT PROBABLY COULD BE SET ASIDE.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED IF THERE WOULD BE ANY OBJECTION
TO CHANGING WABASSO BEACH PARK TO COUNTY -OWNED BEACH PARKS IN THE EVENT
THAT WE SHOULD ACQUIRE THE TRACKING STATION PROPERTY.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT OUR REQUEST WAS FOR MONEY TO BE
SPENT IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA AND HE DID NOT BELIEVE THE TOURIST DEVELOP-
MENT COUNCIL WILL MAKE A BLANK DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS TO EITHER THE
CITY OR THE COUNTY AND LET THEM USE THE FUNDS HOWEVER THEY WISH TO.
HE FELT IF WE WISHED TO CHANGE AND DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN WABASSO BEACH
PARK, WE WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE COUNCIL AND REQUEST THEIR APPROVAL.

COMMISSIONER LAY NOTED THAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO WABASSO
BEACH PARK AND WANT TO DEVELOP IT INTO FIRST CLASS CONDITION. HOPEFULLY
NEXT YEAR WE WILL*BE ABLE TO MOVE ON TO ANOTHER BEACH PARK.
COMMISSIONER DEESON AGREED THAT WE HAVE ALREADY MADE A
COMMITMENT IN REGARD TO WABASSO BEACH PARK AND HE WOULD HOPE WE
WOULD NOT CHANGE OUR PRIORITIES IN THIS REGARD.
MR. NORTON DISCUSSED THE BREAKDOWN OF THE BUDGET IN DETAIL.
HE POINTED OUT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST IS MERELY A GUESS AT THIS
POINT AND HE WOULD FEEL THAT IT IS A BIT HIGH, BUT THEY HAVE NO WAY OF
KNOWING AT THIS TIME.
COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED WHO HAS TO ADMINISTER THESE FUNDS,
AND MR. NORTON STATED THAT THE COUNTY COULD EITHER HANDLE IT THEMSELVES
OR CONTRACT TO HAVE IT DONE.
ATTORNEY COLLINS-INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THIS BUDGET HAS
TO BE APPROVED BY THE GOVERNING BOARD PRIOR TO THE ENACTMENT OF THE
ORDINANCE, AND HE STATED HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE ONE MORE MEETING OF THE
GROUP AND WRITE THEM A MEMO REGARDING A FEW CHANGES IN THE FORMAT.
THIS BUDGET WILL THEN, IN EFFECT, BE INCORPORATED IN THE ORDINANCE
SO WE SHOULD THINK IN TERMS OF GOING AHEAD AND AUTHORIZING THE
ADVERTISEMENT OF THE ORDINANCE.

THIS ISSUE IS TO BE ON THE BALLOT EARLY IN SEPTEMBER. HE STATED
THAT HE WAS IN HOPES THAT WE COULD SOMEHOW COME AWAY FROM THIS
-MEETING TODAY WITH EITHER APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET OR RECOMMENDING
CHANGES SO THAT THE COUNCIL CAN MOVE. AHEAD WITH THE PUBLIC RELATIONS
WORK.
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT HE DOES NOT SEE ANY PROBLEMS
WITH THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS OR ALLOCATIONS; THAT IT IS STRICTLY A MATTER
OF FORM, AND HE FELT THE BUDGET COULD BE APPROVED SUBJECT TO THE FORMAT
BEING CHANGED,
PSR. NORTON NOTED THAT THE PUBLIC IS VERY INTERESTED IN
LEARNING WHAT THIS MONEY WOULD BE USED FOR.
CHAIRMAN VIODTKE POINTED OUT THAT THE PUBLIC WILL HAVE A
CHANCE TO MAKE THEM INPUT AT THE PUBLIC HEARING, BUT A POINT IS NOW

NEEDED WHERE THE TOURIST COUNCIL CAN START TO GO OUT AND PRESENT
THIS TO THE PUBLIC
ON MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY
COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE ACTIONS
TO DATE OF THE TOURIST DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL AND AUTHORIZED THE ATTORNEY
TO PLACE THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE ORDINANCE AND TO WORK WITH THE
COUNCIL IN PUTTING THE BUDGET IN PROPER FORM.
THE BOARD THEREUPON RECESSED AT 12:00.NOON FOR LUNCH AND
RECONVENED AT 1:30 O'CLOCK P.M. WITH THE SAME MEMBERS PRESENT.
THE BOARD THEN PROCEEDED TO DISCUSS THE PROPOSED REZONING
OF PROPERTY ALONG S.R. 510 AND S.R. 512 IN THE VICINITY OF
SEBASTIAN MIDDLE/JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AS REQUESTED TO BY DALE SORENSEN
REPRESENTING GULF & WESTERN FOOD PRODUCTS CO.
MR. SORENSEN STATED THAT HE BELIEVES THIS PARTICULAR
PROPERTY IS RECOMMENDED TO BE REZONED FROM COMMERCIAL TO AGRICULTURAL
BY THE ZONING BOARD, AND STATED HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEIR
PROPERTY REMOVED FROM THAT REZONING REQUEST AND LEFT AS IT IS.
COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER NOTED THAT THIS REZONING IS NOT
BEFORE THE BOARD AND BEING CONSIDERED TODAY.,
ATTORNEY COLLINS THOUGHT THAT MR, SORENSEN HAD REQUESTED A
PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE ZONING BOARD FOR A ZONING CHANGE, AND MR,
SORENSEN STATED THAT WAS FOR A PIECE OF PROPERTY IN BACK OF THE
PROPERTY HE IS NOW DISCUSSING.
COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED IF THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION IS
INVOLVED IN THE ON—GOING PROJECT OF THE ZONING COMMISSION TO DO
AWAY WITH STRIP ZONING ALONG MAIN HIGHWAYS, AND MR. BERG STATED
THAT IT IS; THAT THIS IS BEING CHANGED'TO CONFORM TO THE MASTER
PLAN; AND THE PROCESS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST A YEAR.
ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED MR. SORENSEN IF HE BASICALLY IS
ASKING THE BOARD TO TELL THE ZONING COMMISSION TO "CALL OFF THE
DOGS. It
MR. SORENSEN STATED THAT BASICALLY THEY WANT TO KEEP THIS
PARTICULAR PIECE ZONED THE WAY IT IS. HE NOTED THAT THEY UNDERSTAND
SOME ZONING DIRECTLY ACROSS THE HIGHWAY FROM THEM'WAS LEFT COMMERCIAL.

ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT THE ZONING COMMISSION ON
ITS OWN MOTION HAS THE RIGHT TO HOLD HEARINGS AND TO RECOMMEND
REZONING TO THE BOARD, AND HE DOES NOT FEEL THE BOARD CAN ACT ON
THIS MATTER UNTIL IT IS PROPERLY BEFORE THEM FOR CONSIDERATION.
MR. BERG STATED THAT THE AREA MR. SORENSEN IS TALKING ABOUT
IS NOT A MASTER PLAN CHANGE, BUT IS PART OF THE REZONING PROCESS. THE
ZONING COMMISSION HAS ALREADY HAD A HEARING AND MADE A RECOMMENDATION
AND IT WILL COME BEFORE THE BOARD AS SOON AS THEY GET THE NOTIFICATIONS
WORKED OUT.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED HOW WE COULD WITHDRAW A PIECE OF
PROPERTY FROM A REZONING BEFORE A PUBLIC HEARING, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS
FELT THIS COULD NOT BE DONE BEFORE THE HEARING IS PROPERLY ADVERTISED.
MR. SORENSEN THEN ASKED WHEN THE PUBLIC HEARING WOULD BE.
HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE SHOULD BE ANY PROBLEM WITH NOTIFICATION
WHEN THE ZONING COMMISSION HAD ALREADY HELD ONE HEARING.
MR. BERG POINTED OUT THAT THAT HEARING WAS ADVERTISED BY
A MAP'OF THE AREA AND THEY DID NOT SEND OUT INDIVIDUAL NOTICES.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED MR. BERG IF HE WAS SAYING THAT THERE IS
TO BE A HEARING INSTIGATED BY THE ZONING DEPARTMENT TO BRING LAND ALONG
S.R. 512 INTO CONFORMANCE WITH THE MASTER PLAN AND THAT HEARING WILL
ADDRESS ITSELF NOT ONLY TO THE GULF & WESTERN PROPERTY BUT ALL THE
PROPERTY ALONG THAT ROAD, WHICH NOW IS ZONED C-1. MR. BERG AGREED.
COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT EXCEPT FOR BAD PUBLIC RELATIONS,
THERE IS NO REASON THAT GULF & WESTERN COULDN'T GO OUT NOW AND DO
WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO WITH THEIR PROPERTY. SHE POINTED OUT THAT THE
PUBLIC HEARING HELD BY THE ZONING COMMISSION WAS IN SEPTEMBER OF
1977. SHE ASKED IF IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT COMMERCIAL ZONING BE LEFT
ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, BUT ON THE NORTH SIDE THAT IT BE
REZONED AGRICULTURAL.
MR. BERG STATED THAT MR. ANSIN WHO OWNS PROPERTY ON THE
SOUTH SIDE MET WITH THE ZONING COMMISSION AND REQUESTED THAT HIS
PROPERTY BE LEFT COMMERCIAL AND THAT IT BE REFLECTED ON THE MASTER
PLAN.

e
MR. SORENSEN INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED A
NOTICE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING HELD BY THE ZONING COMMISSION, BUT NO
ONE ATTENDED AND THAT WAS THEIR MISTAKE. THEY DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT
WAS GOING ON. HE NOTED THAT THE GULF & WESTERN PROPERTY TOUCHES THE
SCHOOL PROPERTY, AND THEY WOULD LIKE PART, IF NOT ALL THE PROPERTY
LEFT COMMERCIAL.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT WE NEED TO EXPEDITE A PUBLIC
HEARING. HE POINTED OUT THAT AT THIS TIME GULF & WESTERN COULD GO
AHEAD AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANTED TO D0, ESPECIALLY AS IT IS NOT THEIR
FAULT THAT THE REZONING PROCESS HAS TAKEN SO LONG.- -
ATTORNEY COLLINS AGREED THAT THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE GREAT
DIFFICULTY REZONING ANY PROPERTY ON WHICH A FINANCIAL COMMITMENT
ALREADY HAS BEEN MADE.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT WE CAN TRY TO EXPEDITE THE
HEARING, BUT WE CANNOT REMOVE THE PROPERTY FROM THE HEARING AND WILL
HAVE TO MAKE OUR DECISION ON THE ENTIRE REZONING AS PRESENTED. HE
NOTED THAT THE BOARD DOES HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE DECISIONS.
ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THE SUBSTANCE IS THAT AT PRESENT
GULF & WESTERN HAS A PIECE OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, AND THE BOARD
ACTUALLY CANNOT INDICATE TO THEM NOW HOW THEY WILL ACT AT A FUTURE
REZONING HEARING.

IN THE FUTURE THE REST OF THIS AREA SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR

MR. BERG INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON
THE NORTH SIDE OF 12TH STREET APPROXIMATELY 800' EAST OF U.S. I AND
ABOUT 300' WEST OF 6TH AVENUE. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING REZONING
FROM R-2 TO C-1. MR. BERG THEN READ TO THE BOARD THE STAFF'S COMMENTS
AS FOLLOWS:
STAFF CO3TMENT: This property has quite a bit of recent history, including a
Board of Adjustment interpretation making property eligible for a
non-profit type of use. Now is appears that this is na longer the
intent. Planning Department felt that the use proposed by the re-
zoning was not in keeping with the use of land in the area. It
.-further felt that this was spot zoning in .reverse, (leaving existing
residence completely surrounded by Commercial zoning).*
This area
also did not show Commercial use on the Master Plan. Mr. Zorc felt
that because he was contiguous to Commercial zoning, that this was all
he needed for rezoning. He further indicated that the area needed this
use for the young people in Indian River County. Note: (Staff does
not agree against this, but feels this is the wrong area.)
MR. BERG NOTED THAT THEY CURD ENTLY HAVE SEVERAL SITE
PLAN APPROVALS ON 6TH AVENUE FOR RESIDENTIAL AND FEEL COMMERCIAL
USE WOULD NOT BE IN KEEPING WITH THE GENERAL CHARACTER OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD. HE STATED THAT THEY RECOMMENDED DENIAL TO THE
ZONING BOARD, AND THE REQUEST WAS DENIED. MR. BERG THEN DISPLAYED
AERIALS OF THIS AREA, AND NOTED THE CONTIGUOUS AREA ZONED C-1 IS USED
COMPLETELY FOR A TRAILER PARK. THE AREA ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS
PROPERTY IS RESIDENTIAL AND WHILE THE AREA TO THE SOUTHWEST DOES
HAVE SOME COMMERCIAL USES, IT IS ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL USE. MR. BERG
FELT IF MR. ZORC'S PROPERTY WERE TO BE REZONED FOR COMMERCIAL USE, IT
WOULD BE A FINGER POINTING TOWARDS COMMERCIAL USE ON.6TH AVENUE, AND
WOULD BE A DETRIMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
FRANK ZORC CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND STATED THAT THE ONLY
REASON FOR THE REQUESTED CHANGE OF ZONING IS IN ORDER TO GET THIS
PROPERTY BACK IN A CATEGORY WHICH WILL CLEARLY INDICATE THAT A RETURN
MAY BE MADE ON THE PROJECT SO HE CAN REGAIN HIS INVESTORS. MR. ZORC
STATED THAT HE PERSONALLY HAS CONTACTED EVERY PROPERTY OWNER
SURROUNDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND HAS NOT FOUND ANY WHO HAS AN
OBJECTION TO COMPLETION OF THE RECREATIONAL FACILITY, WHETHER FOR
PROFIT OR NOT, HE NOTED, HOWEVER, THAT SOME PEOPLE DID OBJECT TO
ANY POSSIBILITY OF AN AUTOMOTIVE FACILITY IN THIS AREA SO HIS
70
J u ii 211978 BOOK 35 PAUr- 133
J
ATTORNEYS HAVE WORKED OUT AN AGREEMENT THAT WOULD RESTRICT.FOREVER
THE USE OF THIS PROPERTY FOR ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE AUTOMOTIVE
INDUSTRY IN ANY WAY. HE CONTINUED THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE POURED
AT 26,000 SQ. FT. SLAB AND HAVE A BUILDING PARTIALLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT A PETITION HAS BEEN RECEIVED
FROM TROPIC GROVE CONDOMINIUM OWNERS OPPOSING THE PROPOSED ZONING

MR. ZORC INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE SPOKE TO MR. SARDELLA
WHO STATED THAT HE PERSONALLY DID NOT OBJECT, BUT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT
POSSIBLE USES THAT MIGHT GO IN THERE.
COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED IF THERE ARE OTHER RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS
THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED IN THIS AREA.
ASSISTANT PLANNER BERG STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN THREE
IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS WHO HAVE REQUESTED AND RECEIVED SITE PLAN
APPROVAL FOR CONDOMINIUM TYPE DEVELOPMENT, TOTALING ABOUT 200 UNITS,
ON THE EAST OF 0TH AVENUE. HE FELT THIS INDICATES THAT THE DEVELOPMENT
OF THE AREA IS MOVING TOWARDS A RESIDENTIAL USE WHICH IS IN KEEPING
WITH THE MASTER PLAN.
MR. ZORC POINTED OUT THAT THEY PURPOSELY LEFT A STRIP OF
LAND ZONED R-2 BETWEEN THEIR PROJECT AND SIXTH AVENUE TO ACT AS A
JUN 211978 %� BOOK 35 PAGE 183
BUFFER ZONE. HE NOTED THERE IS A GOOD DEAL OF COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHED
ONLY 60' ACROSS THE STREET FROM THEM - THE TAYLOR.RENTAL STORE, A
NEW CAR WASH AND ZIEBART.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED HOW YOU GO ABOUT SITE PLAN REVIEW
ON A PARTIALLY COMPLETED PROJECT.
MR. BERG FELT IT WOULD REQUIRE SITE PLAN APPROVAL. HE NOTED
THAT THE INTENT OF THE NEW SITE PLAN ORDINANCE IS TO SEE THAT A GIVEN
PROJECT IS IN KEEPING WITH THE*NEIGHBORHOOD AND HOMOGENOUS TO THE
AREA, AND ALSO TO MEASURE THE IMPACT OF ANY TRAFFIC THAT MIGHT OCCUR
AS A RESULT OF THE PROJECT. ALL OF THESE THINGS WOULD HAVE AN AFFECT
ON THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO THE ZONING COMMISSION.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT THE LOCATION ON THE
BUILDING IS SET, AND DRAINAGE IS A PROBLEM.
MR, ZORC STATED THAT, FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES, THIS
PROJECT HAS HAD SITE PLAN REVIEW BY THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. HE
INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE PLANS FOR THIS PROJECT WERE REVIEWED
BY THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR ABOUT.A MONTH AND A HALF AND THAT HE
HAS A LETTER FROM THE LATE COUNTY PLANNER, VAL BRENNAN, INDICATING
THAT ALL REQUIREMENTS HAD BEEN COMPLIED WITH AS FAR AS PLANNING WAS
CONCERNED.
MR. BERG AGREED THAT THE PLANS WERE REVIEWED, BUT FELT THE
LETTER DID NOT INDICATE THIS WAS AN APPROVAL.
COMMISSIONER Loy POINTED OUT THAT THE REVIEW WAS FOR A
DIFFERENT ZONING WHICH COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
HEARD.
THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF ANYONE PRESENT WISHED TO BE
ATTORNEY CHARLES HERRING CAME FORWARD REPRESENTING WILLIAM
HARTLEY, OWNER OF TWIN OAKS TENNIS CLUB, WHICH IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY
300' TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. HE INFORMED THE BOARD
THAT MR. HARTLEY PREVIOUSLY FILED AN OBJECTION TO THE PROPOSED REZONING
BY LETTER AND SINCE HE COULD NOT BE PRESENT TODAY, REQUESTED MR.
HERRING TO RENEW HIS OBJECTIONS FOR HIM.
NO ONE FURTHER WISHED TO BE HEARD, AND ON MOTION BY
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT-, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, THE BOARD
UNANIMOUSLY CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.
JUN 2 1 1978 74`
BOOK 35 Pm, r- x 34
CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT BECAUSE OF THE RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT ON SIXTH AVENUE AND THE NEARNESS OF SERO MALL; WHICH
WILL MAKE THIS A HEAVILY CONGESTED AREA, HE WOULD HATE TO SEE ANY
FURTHER EXPANSION OF COMMERCIAL ZONING IN THIS AREA. THE
CHAIRMAN NOTED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT BASICALLY
WAS APPROVED, THE TREES HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND THE CONCRETE SLAB
POURED, AND HE HAS NO OBJECTION TO THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT,
HE FELT IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT THE PROPERTY GOT STARTED IN
DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT THE PROPER FINANCIAL BACKING TO BE SURE THAT
IT COULD BE COMPLETED BASED UPON THE NON-PROFIT APPROACH THAT
WAS TAKEN.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT WE MUST LOOK AT THIS AS IF
NOTHING WERE THERE AND DECIDE WHAT IS THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE
OF THE PROPERTY. HE CONTINUED THAT IF THIS WERE A NORMAL REZONING

TO THE OFF-STREET PARKING SECTION OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE. HE
EXPLAINED THAT THEY ORIGINALLY HAD PROPOSED TO REWRITE THIS SECTION
TO MAKE IT CLEARER AS TO WHAT IS REQUIRED AND TO ESTABLISH VARYING
NUMBERS OF REQUIRED PARKING SPACES FOR DIFFERENT USES. HE INFORMED
THE BOARD THAT THEY DID DRAFT AN ORDINANCE DEALING ENTIRELY WITH
OFF-STREET PARKING AND HAD A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT THE ZONING COMMISSION
FELT THE EXISTING ORDINANCE WAS SUFFICIENT AT THIS TIME. MR. BERG
FELT, HOWEVER, THAT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS IN THE EXISTING ORDINANCE
THAT DO NEED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND THAT LATER ON THEY COULD COME
BACK WITH ANOTHER MORE COMPREHENSIVE ORDINANCE. HE NOTED THAT
RIGHT NOW EACH OFF-STREET PARKING SPACE REQUIRES AN AREA OF 200
SQ. FT. BUT IT DOESNIT OUTLINE OR DELINEATE THE AREA. THE
AMENDMENT WOULD REQUIRE THAT EACH SPACE MUST BE AT LEAST 10' X 20`,
MR. BERG STATED THAT THEY STILL ARE RECOMMENDING THAT OFF-STREET
PARKING BE PAVED, BUT FEEL THERE ARE SOME USES THAT WOULD NOT
NECESSARILY REQUIRE PAVED PARKING LOTS SUCH AS CHURCHES. THEY ARE
ALSO SUGGESTING MODIFICATION OF PAVING STANDARDS BY ALLOWING
ACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVES.

aaoK 35 FAcF 19, -i.
ATTORNEY COLLINS*ASKED IF THE ZONING COMMISSION HAS APPROVED
MR. BERG'S SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS, BECAUSE HE THOUGHT MR, BERG HAD SAID
THEY TURNED DOWN HIS PROPOSED ORDINANCE.
MR. BERG EXPLAINED THAT HIS ORIGINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
COVERED ABOUT 12 PAGES. THE AMENDMENTS HE IS DISCUSSING TODAY ARE
JUST MEANT TO "PLUG THE HOLE IN THE DIKE," AND THE ZONING COMMISSION
HAS APPROVED THEM.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED WHO APPROVES THE OFF—STREET PARKING
REQUIREMENTS NOW?
MR. BERG FELT IF THERE WOULD BE A SERIOUS IMPACT ON TRAFFIC
OR SOIL CONDITIONS OR RUN—OFFj IT FIRST WOULD BE PRESENTED TO THE
TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW. FINAL APPROVAL IS DONE BY
THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION.
COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER STATED THAT HE SEES A LOTS OF
THINGS LACKING — TYPES OF MATERIALS, PAVING STANDARDS, ETC. HE
NOTED THAT PARKING LOTS DO NOT REQUIRE THE SAME MATERIALS A ROAD
DOES, AND ASKED IF MR. BERG IS SAYING THAT WHETHER A PARKING LOT
IS TO BE PAVED OR NOT WILL BE LEFT TO THE DISCRETION OF SOME BOARD?
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT WE SHOULD REQUIRE PAVING, BUT
SHOULD SET CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE IT WOULDN'T BE REQUIRED RATHER
THAN LEAVE IT TO SOMEBODY'S DISCRETION AS TO WHETHER IT SHOULD BE
PAVED OR NOT.
MR. BERG STATED THAT HE HAS SUBMITTED THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS TO THE ENGINEERS IN THE AREA FOR THEIR COMMENTS AND HAS
RECEIVED QUITE A FEW COMMENTS AND A BREAKDOWN OF TYPES OF MATERIALS,
BUT HE FELT MATERIALS SHOULD BE PART OF THE BUILDING CODE AND NOT
PART OF A ZONING ORDINANCE.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE INQUIRED WHETHER THE BOARD WISHED TO
AUTHORIZE ADVERTISING THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT AND HAVE THE ATTORNEY
DO SOME FURTHER WORK ON IT IN THE MEANTIME OR WHETHER THEY WOULD RATHER
HAVE THE WORK DONE BEFORE AUTHORIZING THE ADVERTISEMENT.
COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE
BOARD DO SOME FURTHER WORK ON THIS BEFORE AUTHORIZING THE ADVERTISEMENT,
AND THE BOARD AGREED.

THE CHAIRMAN STATED THAT THESE MAPS HAVE BEEN CHECKED,
AND IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REVISED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE AERIALS WE FORWARDED TO THEM SEVERAL WEEKS AGO$
ADMINISTRATOR KENNINGS CONFIRMED THAT MUD PREPARED THESE
MAPS BASED ON THE INFORMATION WE FORWARDED TO THEM AND STATED HE FELT
IT WAS A VERY WORTHY EFFORT AND MONEY WELL SPENT TO HAVE THE WORK
DONE, WHICH RESULTED IN THE DESIRED CHANGES.
ASSISTANT PLANNER BERG CONCURRED AND STATED THAT THIS
.REVISION OF THE RATE MAPS WILL SAVE THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY
A LOT OF MONEY ON CONSTRUCTION. HE CONTINUED THAT SOMETIME IN
JULY AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE MAPS, WE WILL HAVE 30 DAYS
TO ADOPT A FLOOD PLAIN ORDINANCE. MR. BERG NOTED THAT WE WILL AT
SOME TIME PROBABLY HAVE TO ADOPT SUBDIVISION AMENDMENTS WHICH WILL
REQUIRE THAT ALL SUBDIVISION PROPOSALS GREATER THAN 50 LOTS OR 5
ACRES INCLUDE FLOOD ELEVATION DATA. HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THERE
ARE ABOUT 16 ITEMS THAT WILL NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE ORDINANCE.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE SUGGESTED THAT IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY DELAY,
WE SHOULD AUTHORIZE PREPARATION OF SUCH AN ORDINANCE AND HAVE A
HEARING ON IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER

FLOOD PLAIN ORDINANCE AND ADVERTISE IT FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON JULY

ENGINEER JAMES BEINDORF INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE HAS
RECEIVED THE STUDY MADE BY LLOYD & ASSOCIATES IN REGARD TO TYING THE
GIFFORD SEWAGE INTO THE CITY FLOW SYSTEM. HE REPORTED THAT IN
DECEMBER OF 1977 HE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE CITY IN REGARD TO
TYING INTO THE CITY SYSTEM AT THEIR.STANDARD FEE OF $187.50 PER
RESIDENTIAL UNIT, AND ALSO ASKING THAT THE COUNTY CONSIDER PUMPING
THE SEWAGE ON OFF HOURS (FROM 8:00 P.M.TO 6:00 A.M.), WHICH WOULD
REQUIRE A STORAGE TANK OF SOME SORT IN THE GIFFORD AREA, MR.
BEINDORF STATED THAT HE DETERMINED THAT THE DER WOULD FROWN ON THIS,
AND ALSO THAT THE SEWAGE WOULD HAVE TO BE TREATED IN THE PERIOD IT
WAS BEING STORED, ALL OF WHICH PRESENTED A LOT OF PROBLEMS, HE
JUN 2x.1978 84 BOOK 35 FAU,F 194
CONTINUED THAT HE WROTE THE CITY IN MARCH ASKING THAT THEY WAIVE
THE OFF—HOURS REQUIREMENT AND CONSIDER THE $187,50 PER UNIT AS
THE FEE FOR THE USAGE OF THE PUMPING STATIONS AND THE FORCE MAINS,
HE NOTED THAT THE COUNTY HAS AN ALLOCATION TO USE A CERTAIN
CAPACITY OF THE SEWER PLANT THE -CITY HAD RECEIVED A GRANT FOR SO IT
APPEARED THE STORAGE REQUIREMENT THE CITY WANTED TO PUT ON THE
SYSTEM SHOULD BE WAIVED, MR. BEINDORF STATED THAT THE CITY THEN
WANTED TO SEE WHAT IMPACT THE GIFFORD SEWAGE WOULD HAVE ON THEIR
EXISTING SYSTEM, AND LLOYD & ASSOCIATES NOW HAVE INDICATED THAT TWO
LIFT STATIONS WOULD BE AFFECTED — LIFT STATION 2 AND LIFT STATION9 —
AND HAS ESTIMATED A COST OF $27,000 TO REBUILD OR REPLACE THE MOTORS
OF THESE TWO LIFT STATIONS.
MR. BEINDORF CONTINUED THAT, BASED ON THAT FIGURE AND WHERE
WE COULD TIE ON, THE ENGINEERS RE—EVALUATED COSTS AND CAME UP WITH
A FIGURE OF $229,712 FOR TYING INTO THE CITY FLOW SYSTEM, OR ABOUT
$19,000 OVER WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED LAST OCTOBER, HE NOTED THAT
$210,000 HAD BEEN ALLOCATED TO PUMP FROM GIFFORD DIRECTLY TO THE
CITY TREATMENT PLANT, BUT POINTED OUT THAT THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO
i
MAINTAIN THE LINE ALL THIS WAY, APPROXIMATELY SIX MILES, WHICH COULD
i
BE A REAL PROBLEM. ENGINEER BEINDORF STATED THAT THIS REPORT IS
BASED ON A PEAK FLOW OF 500,000 G.P.D. BECAUSE YOU MUST ALLOW FOR
EXPANSION AND FUTURE FLOW, AND THE ESTIMATION IS FIGURED ON THE MAXIMUM
COST, ASSUMING THAT THE $187,50 PER UNIT FEE DID NOT COVER REBUILDING
OF THE PUMPING STATIONS.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT THE $187.50 IS ESSENTIALLY c
AN -IMPACT FEE. HE NOTED THE ONLY THING WE ARE DOING IS NOT BRINGING
A LINE TO THE CITY'S PLANT — WE ARE PAYING A FEE FOR THEM TO EXPAND
THEIR DISTRIBUTION LINE IN THE FUTURE.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE DISCUSSED WHAT IS INVOLVED IN HOOKING UP TO
A HOME AND NOTED THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
WAY THE WATER IS GOING TO OPERATE AND THE SEWER IS GOING TO OPERATE.
ENGINEER BEINDORF NOTED THAT THE SEWER CONNECTION CHARGE
WOULD HAVE TO BE SET AT A FUTURE DATE, AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED
THE ORDINANCE PROVIDES FOR THIS,
juii 2 1 197 85
BOOK 35 PAGr ���
ENGINEER BEINDORF FURTHER NOTED THAT THE $187.50 FEE PER
UNIT TO THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO BE BASED ON PRESENT CUSTOMERS ONLY,
AND ANY NEW CUSTOMERS WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE CONNECTION FEE THEMSELVES$
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT THOUGHT ANY FUTURE CONNECTION FEES
WOULD HELP PAY FOR EXPANSION OF THE SEWER SYSTEM IN OTHER AREAS$
ENGINEER BEINDORF STATED THAT THEY HAVE NOT SHOWN ANYTHING
FOR SEWER CONNECTION IN THEIR REPORT. HE NOTED THAT IN WATER CONNECTION
NORMALLY YOU ARE LOOKING AT RECOUPING YOUR BASIC COST.
CHAIRMAN VIODTKE FELT IF THE COUNTY HAD TO PAY THE $27,000
FOR REBUILDING THE LIFT STATIONS IN ADDITION TO THE $187.50 PER UNIT,
THEY ACTUALLY WOULD BE PAYING FOR THE SAME THING TWICE.
ENGINEER BEINDORF AGREED THAT HE WOULD FEEL THE $187.50
PER CUSTOMER WOULD COVER THE $27,000 FOR REBUILDING THE -LIFT STATIONS$
HE NOTED THAT IN THIS INSTANCE WE WOULD BE PAYING AHEAD OF TIME
BECAUSE'WE HAVE 183 CUSTOMERS RIGHT AWAY. HE POINTED OUT THAT IF
THIS EXTRA COST WERE ELIMINATED, WE WOULD BE RIGHT WITHIN OUR ESTIMATES.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT AGREED, AND FELT THIS MATTER SHOULD BE
DISCUSSED WITH THE CITY OF VERO BEACH.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED BASICALLY WE ARE SAYING IF YOU WILL
ALLOW US TO TIE IN THERE RATHER THAN GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE SEWAGE
PLANT, WE WILL PAY YOU $187,50 FOR USE OF YOUR LINES AND ANY
IMPROVEMENT OF DISTRIBUTION LINES* THE CHAIRMAN INSTRUCTED THE
ADMINISTRATOR AND ENGINEER BEINDORF TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE CITY ON
THIS ITEMS
ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NEIL NELSON REPORTED ON THE
EVALUATION OF THE BIDS RECEIVED FOR REPAIR AND PAINTING OF THE
COUNTY .TAIL EXTERIOR WALLS AND REPAIR TO THE .TAIL ROOFS. HE STATED
THAT ALL BIDS MET SPECIFICATIONS, AND THE LOW BID FOR REPAIR AND
PAINTING OF THE EXTERIOR JAIL WALLS WAS MADE BY CAPPELEN PAINTING,
INC., HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT GOLD COAST PAINTING WAS LOW BIDDER
ON REPAIR OF THE JAIL ROOFS, BUT POINTED OUT THAT THE TWO BIDS
TOGETHER ADD UP TO $11,835 AND THERE IS ONLY $10,087 IN THE ACCOUNTS
MR. NELSON SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE TO NEGOTIATE WITH GOLD
COAST TO SEE IF WE COULD CUT THE COST IN ANY WAY.

COMMISSIONER LoyBROUGHT UP THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING THE
CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION DO THE PAINTING FOR'US, BUT IT WAS FELT THIS L'
WOULD NOT BE FEASIBLE BECAUSE OF THE PREPARATION NECESSARY.
DISCUSSION FOLLOWED, AND IT WAS NOTED THAT IN REGARD TO
THE JAIL ROOFS, THE SPECIFICATIONS ONLY CALLED FOR "REPAIR OF
COUNTY JAIL ROOFS," WHICH THE BOARD FELT WAS NOT SPECIFIC ENOUGH.
ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ACCEPTED THE BID OF CAPPELEN PAINTING, INC.,
FOR REPAIR AND PAINTING OF THE EXTERIOR JAIL WALLS, AS BEING THE LOWEST
AND BEST BID MEETINGS SPECIFICATIONS, IN THE AMOUNT OF $4,900.00, BUT
REQUESTED THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR RESOLVE THE JAIL ROOFING PROBLEM
FIRST.

RESOLUTION NO. 78-46
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River
County, Florida, herein called the "Applicant," -after thorough
consideration of the problem and available data, has hereby
determined that the project described below is in the best interests
of the - general public:
The Youth Guidance Volunteer Program is designed
for children who are not yet classified as delinquent
but are on the way. It is hoped that by utilizing
the skills of a volunteer on a one-to-one basis, the
child's needs can be met, therefore, preventing the
child from having to go through with official court
action and receiving a court record.
With the use of the Volunteer Program the child's
needs can be met by a Volunteer, diverting the child
from the Juvenile Court and Division of Youth Services
personnel, therefore freeing the Youth Counselor's
time'to provide more efficient counseling to those
children that need his professional skills; and
WHEREAS, under the terms of Public Law 90-351, as amended,
the United States of America has authorized the Law Enforcement
Assistance Administration, through the Bureau of Criminal Justice
Planning and Assistance, to make Federal Grants to assist local
governments in the improvement of criminal justice; and
.MHEREAS, the Applicant has examined and duly considered such
Act and the Applicant considers it to be in the public interest and
to its benefit to file an application under said Act and to authorize
other action in connection therewith;

of Indian River County, Florida, in open meeting assembled in the
Indian River County Courthouse, located in the City of Vero Beach,
Florida the 21st day of June, 1978, as follows:

interest of the Applicant and the general public.

make necessary arrangements to provide such funds and/or in-kind
contributions in addition to the grant as may be required by the Act

authorized to furnish such. information and take such other action as may
be necessary to enable the Applicant to qualify for said grant.
5. That the Official designated in the preceding paragraph
is hereby designated as the authorized representative of the Applicant

THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THEREUPON RECESSED AT
5:35 O'CLOCK P.M. AND RECONVENED AT 7:30 O'CLOCK P.M. WITH THE
SAME MEMBERS PRESENT.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE CALLED THE MEETING TO ORDER AND ANNOUNCED
THAT WE WILL NOW CONTINUE WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE COUNTY
WATER AND SEWER ORDINANCE WHICH WAS RECESSED AT 11:15 THIS
MORNING AND CONTINUED -UNTIL 7:30 P.M.
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT IT IS HIS INTENT TO SEE WHICH
WAY THE COMMISSION WANTS TO GO AND THEN TAILOR THE ORDINANCE
ACCORDINGLY.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT WE HAVE TO ADOPT AN
ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A RATE STRUCTURE FOR WATER AND SEWER
FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY - NOT JUST FOR THE UDU AREA.
ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THAT THIS IS APPROPRIATE AT THIS
STAGE OF THE COUNTY'S DEVELOPMENT AND SAW NO REASON WHY THERE
SHOULDN'T BE AN ORDINANCE THAT WILL APPLY UNIFORMLY THROUGHOUT
THE COUNTY.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT WE HAVE PRETTY SPECIFIC GUIDELINES
SET DOWN BY FHA AS FAR AS THE RATES ARE CONCERNED BASED UPON THE
PURCHASE OF THE WATER SYSTEM AND THE*REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN TO FHA;
ALTHOUGH HE FELT WE WANT TO GET IN SOME DISCUSSION ON THE RATES,
THAT FIRST WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE OVERALL GENERAL PROVISIONS
IN REGARD TO CONNECTIONS FOR WATER AND FOR SEWER.
ATTORNEY COLLINS REVIEWED THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. THE ATTORNEY NOTED THAT THE ORDINANCE AS DRAFTED
IS PERMISSIVE AND STATES A PERSON "MAY" HOOK UP TO THE SYSTEM. HE
EXPLAINED THAT A PROPERTY OWNER HAVING HIS OWN WELLS MAY NOT HAVE TO
HOOK UP TO CITY WATER, BUT IF THEY HOOK UP TO THE SEWER SYSTEM,
ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THERE SHOULD BE A MANDATORY HOOK-UP TO CITY
WATER, I.E.,.IF A PERSON HAS JUST WATER AND NO SEWER THERE WOULD BE
-A CHOICE AS TO HOOKING UP TO CITY WATER.
SECTION 2 AND 3. ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT THESE
SECTIONS TALK IN TERMS OF A -MANDATORY HOOK UP FOR SEWER FOR ANYONE
97
J U N 21.1978 BOOK 35 Fmcr 20 7
WITHIN ZOO FEET OF AN EXISTING LINE, BUT ONLY THROUGH EXISTING
EASEMENTS. IN OTHER WORDS, IF A NEIGHBOR WOULD NOT GIVE YOU
PERMISSION TO CROSS HIS PROPERTY, HOOK UP WOULD NOT BE MANDATORY.
SECTION 4. ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THOSE PRESENT THAT
THE COUNTY, THE STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES ARE ALL EXTREMELY INTERESTED
IN CURING THE SEWER AND WATER PROBLEM IN THE GIFFORD AREA, AND,
THEREFORE, THIS SECTION DEALS IN TERMS OF MANDATORY REQUIREMENT AND
WHAT THE COUNTY CAN DO TO MAKE SOMEONE HOOK UP FOR SEWER, INCLUDING
TAKING THEM TO COURT. HE COMMENTED THAT THE COUNTY IS TRYING TO
SOLVE A PROBLEM FOR THE GIFFORD AREA AND MUST HAVE COOPERATION.
SECTION 5. THE ATTORNEY NOTED THAT THIS SECTION DEALS WITH
THE RATE STRUCTURE, WHICH IS THE EXACT SAME RATE STRUCTURE PREVIOUSLY
DISCUSSED AND AS REQUIRED BY THE BOND OBLIGATION.
SECTION 6. THIS SECTION DEALS WITH UNLAWFUL CONNECTIONS.
ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THOSE PRESENT THAT THE ENGINEERS WHILE
WORKING ON RENOVATION OF THE OLD SYSTEM HAVE DISCOVERED WHERE PEOPLE
HAVE CONNECTED TO THE LINES AND DON'T PAY ANY RATES. SUCH A
CONNECTION WOULD BE MADE A CRIME UNDER THIS ORDINANCE AND CAN BE
PROSECUTED BECAUSE EVERYONE MUST PAY THEIR WAY.
SECTION 7. THIS SECTION ESTABLISHES REQUIREMENTS TO HOOK
UP TO THE SEWER SYSTEM AND PROVIDES THAT THERE CAN BE NO BUILDING
OR REMODELING WITHIN ZOO' OF THE SYSTEM UNLESS THEY ARE HOOKED UP
TO THE SEWER SYSTEM. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THE INTENT OF THIS
ORDINANCE IS TO BRING AS MANY PEOPLE ON LINE AS POSSIBLE TO HANDLE .
THE PROBLEM.
SECTION S. THE ATTORNEY EXPLAINED ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT
ARISES IS THAT SOME OF THE SEWER AND/OR WATER CONNECTIONS MAY HAVE
OLD PLUMBING AND IF THIS WERE CONNECTED TO THE NEW SYSTEM, IT COULD
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE NEW SYSTEM. THEREFORE, THIS SECTION REQUIRES
THAT THE PLUMBING BE CHECKED TO SEE IF IT MEETS CERTAIN STANDARDS.
SECTION 9. THIS SECTION MAKES IT MANDATORY EITHER TO CONNECT
TO THE SYSTEM OR HAVE A SEPTIC TANK. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT
THERE ARE SOME SECTIONS IN GIFFORD THAT HAVE NEITHER, AND WE
VERY DEFINITELY WANT TO CURE THIS PROBLEM.
jUH 2 11978 98 BOOK 35 PAU-r 208
SECTION 10. THIS IS A REAFFIRMATION OF SECTION 9 AS
APPLYING TO A CORPORATION OR AN AGENT OWNING OR LEASING PREMISES.
SECTION 11. THIS SECTION SETS STANDARDS FOR SEPTIC TANKS
AND PROVIDES THAT NONE SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED WITHIN 200' OF THE
SEWER LINE.
SECTION 12. ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT ONCE THE CON-
NECTION IS MADE, THE PROPERTY OWNER WILL HAVE A CONTINUING OBLIGATION
TO KEEP THE LINES CLEAR THAT LEAD TO THE SYSTEM.
SECTION 13. THIS SECTION REQUIRES THE BILLS BE PAID BY THE
10TH OF THE MONTH AND BECOME DELINQUENT AFTER THE'20TH. THE
ATTORNEY NOTED THAT THE COUNTY HAS NOT YET DECIDED ON THE PENALTY IN
-EVENT OF A DELINQUENCY, WHICH PENALTY WILL APPLY TO BOTH SEWER AND/OR
WATER.
SECTION 14. ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT THIS SECTION
DEALS WITH A SITUATION WHERE AN OWNER HAS A PRIVATE WATER SUPPLY AND
IS HOOKED UP TO THE SEWER SYSTEM, BUT HE FELT THIS WILL BE MODIFIED
BECAUSE THE CITY OF VERO BEACH HAS CERTAIN STANDARDS FOR SEWAGE, AND
ONE OF THEM IS THAT THE WATER THAT CARRIES THE SEWAGE THROUGH THE
LINES HAS TO BE TREATED WATER.
SECTION 15. THIS SECTION DEALS WITH MAINTAINING THE PLUMBING
SYSTEM FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER'S HOUSE TO THE SEWER MAIN.
SECTION 16. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THERE WILL BE NO
FREE WATER OR SEWAGE CONNECTIONS ON THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. EVERYBODY
WILL PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE WHETHER IT IS THE COUNTY THAT HAS A
BUILDING OR AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS A HOUSE.
SECTION 17. THIS SECTION REQUIRES SEPARATE CONNECTIONS AND
SEPARATE METERS FOR EACH RESIDENTIAL UNIT, WHICH ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT
MIGHT PRESENT SOME PROBLEMS AND REQUIRE SOME FURTHER WORK.
SECTION 18. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THIS IS A TOUGH
PENALTY SECTION, AND IT WILL BE ENFORCED IF ABUSES DO OCCUR.
SECTION 20. ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT THIS PROVIDES
FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND THE BOARD CAN EITHER MAKE THE ORDINANCE
EFFECTIVE NOW AND THE RATES EFFECTIVE WHEN THE SEWER AND WATER
SYSTEMS ARE ON LINE OR MAKE THE ORDINANCE EFFECTIVE WHEN THE SYSTEM
IS ON LINE.
JUN 21 1978 99 BOOK 35 mr 209
ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE HAS SOME
FAIRLY TOUGH MANDATORY PROVISIONS, BUT HE FELT IT IS WORKABLE AND
THAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE ALL HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR BY THIS
ORDINANCE.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF THE CONSULTANTS WOULD LIKE TO ADD
ANYTHING AT THIS TIME.
ENGINEER BEINDORF COMMENTED THAT HE HAD UNDERSTOOD WE WERE
GOING TO HAVE A METER FOR EACH BUILDING INSTEAD OF EACH UNIT AND
FELT MONITORING EACH BUILDING RATHER THAN EACH UNIT IN THE BUILDING
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED IF THIS WOULDN'T REDUCE THE COST
TO EACH UNIT.
ENGINEER BEINDORF STATED THAT THIS IS PRETTY MUCH STANDARD
PRACTICE. HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE CITY DOES IT, AND IN VISTA
ROYALE THERE IS A MONITOR FOR EACH BUILDING.
ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT YOU COULD JUST MULTIPLY THE NUMBER
OF UNITS TIMES THE SEWAGE CHARGE, AND ENGINEER BEINDORF AGREED THAT
CAN BE DONE FOR THE SEWER CHARGE, BUT THE WATER IS A BIT MORE OF
A PROBLEM.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT
MAKING MORE MONEY, BUT JUST WANTS TO BE FAIR TO ALL AND NOT HAVE
SOME PAY LESS THAN OTHERS JUST BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN APARTMENTS. HE
ASKED IF HE IS CORRECT IN ASSUMING THAT IF SOMEBODY IS ON THE SEWER
SYSTEM THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE ON THE WATER SYSTEM ALSO.
ENGINEER BEINDORF STATED THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE THIS WAY
IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE QUALITY OF -THE WATER, AND ALSO, IF THEY
ARE NOT ON WATER, YOU HAVE NO WAY TO BILL AND COLLECT FOR THE SEWAGE
BECAUSE YOU CAN T CUT THE SEWER OFF.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT WE SHOULD MOVE IN THE DIRECTION OF
SAYING IF YOU ARE ON THE SEWER SYSTEM, WATER CONNECTION IS MANDATORY,
AND ENGINEER BEINDORF AGREED,
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT CAPACITY TO
HANDLE EVERYONE WITHIN 200' OF THE EXISTING WATER LINE.
ENGINEER BEINDORF STATED THAT BASED ON THEIR REPORT AND.WITH.
JUN 211978 100 BOOK 35 PAGF 210
THE PRESENT ALLOCATION, HE BELIEVES THE CAPACITY WOULD SUFFICE FOR
THE PRESENT USERS AND THE FUTURE TOO.
COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER FELT THERE COULD BE ALL SORTS OF
PROBLEMS WITH REQUIRING HOOK—UP WHEN SOMEONE IS WITHIN 200' OF
THE LINE WHICH HE NOTED COULD BE IN THE NEXT BLOCK OVER.
ENGINEER BEINDORF POINTED OUT THAT THIS IS COVERED BECAUSE
HOOK—UP IS ONLY MANDATORY IF YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO USE EXISTING
EASEMENTS. HE NOTED THE INTENT IS TO GET EVERYBODY WITHIN A
CERTAIN DISTANCE OF THE LINE TO TIE IN.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED IF THE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO HOOK
ONTO THAT LINE NOW ARE SUFFICIENT TO CARRY THE SYSTEM, AND ENGINEER
BEINDORF STATED THAT BASED ON THE PRESENT CUSTOMERS, THEY ARE.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT INQUIRED IF THE PEOPLE PRESENTLY ON THE
SYSTEM ARE COMMITTED TO STAY ON IT, AND ENGINEER BEINDORF SAID HE
WOULD ASSUME'SO BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY SEPTIC TANKS AND HE DID
NOT BELIEVE THE BOARD OF HEALTH WOULD ALLOW A SEPTIC TANK WHEN THEY
ARE ON A SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM.
DISCUSSION FOLLOWED IN REGARD TO THE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS ON
THE SYSTEM, AND ENGINEER BEINDORF STATED THAT AT THE TIME THEY DID
THEIR REPORT, THERE WERE 535 CUSTOMERS, AND THOSE CUSTOMERS WOULD BE
NEEDED.
ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT WE HAVE MADE AFFIRMATIVE REPORTS
TO THE FHA TO JUSTIFY THE LOAN THAT THERE WOULD BE 490 CUSTOMERS.
CHAIRMAN VIODTKE DISCUSSED SECTION 5, PARAGRAPH C., WHICH
STATES THAT THE BOARD CAN ENTER INTO CONTRACTS WITH LARGE USERS OF
WATER AND NOTED THAT HE ACTUALLY IS OPPOSED TO THIS, BUT CAN SEE
AN AREA WHERE A DIFFERENT RATE STRUCTURE MIGHT BE NECESSARY, FOR
INSTANCE, WITH REGARD TO THE SCHOOLS AS HE WOULDN'T WANT THE SCHOOLS
TO PAY JUST $7.50 A MONTH FOR SEWER. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED FOR
AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE THE BOARD MIGHT WANT TO NEGOTIATE WITH A WATER
USER, AND CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE COULDN'T THINK OF ANYWHERE
WE MIGHT WANT TO NEGOTIATE ON WATER BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO PAY THE
SAME AMOUNT FOR THE WATER, WHETHER IT IS 750,000 GALLONS OR OVER
100, 000.
JON 211978 101 BOOK 35 PAcr 211
COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT WITH THE GREAT EMPHASIS BEING
PLACED ON CONSERVATION, WE ARE NOW DISCOURAGING LARGE USERS OF
UTILITIES@
IN REGARD TO LARGE USERS, SUCH AS SCHOOLS, ENGINEER BEINDORF
INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THEY HAVE OVERCOME THIS PROBLEM IN OTHER
AREAS BY CHARGING BASED ON THE NUMBER OF FIXTURE UNITS@ HE NOTED
IT ALSO COULD BE BASED ON WATER USAGE AND FURTHER SUGGESTED THE
POSSIBILITY OF SETTING UP DIFFERENT RATES FOR DIFFERENT CATEGORIES
COMMERCIAL, INSTITITIONAL, INDUSTRIAL, ETC., BUT POINTED OUT THAT
MANY INDUSTRIES ARE NOT BIG USERS OF WATER.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT THE FAIREST WAY WOULD BE BASED ON THE
WATER USAGE, RATHER THAN ON A FIXTURE BASIS, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER
MONTHS.
LEON YOUNG INFORMED THE BOARD THAT UDU ASSESSED THE SCHOOL
$25.00 FOR THE FIRST 10,000 GALLONS AND THEREAFTER 4N PER EACH
ADDITIONAL 1,000 GALLONS. MR. YOUNG STATED THAT HE DIDN'T NOTICE
ANYTHING IN THE RATE STRUCTURE MAKING IT SPECIFIC WHETHER THE RATE
WAS FOR A 2" METER OR FOR A LARGER ONE. HE NOTED THAT THEY HAVE
ABOUT EIGHT DIFFERENT SIZE METERS ON THE SYSTEM, AND HE FELT THIS
SHOULD BE DEALT WITH SPECIFICALLY.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED THE ENGINEER IF THERE NORMALLY IS A
DIFFERENT CHARGE FOR DIFFERENT SIZE METERS,
ENGINEER BEINDORF-STATED THAT DIFFERENT SYSTEMS HAVE DIFFERENT.
METHODS, BUT HE DID NOT FEEL THERE NORMALLY WOULD BE. HE POINTED
OUT THAT BASICALLY , REGARDLESS OF METER SIZE, WE ARE ON A GALLONAGE
BAS IS@
CHAIRMAN WODTKE INFORMED PIR, YOUNG THAT OBVIOUSLY THE CHARGE
FOR THE METER AND THE INSTALLATION WOULD VARY.A000RDING TO SIZE OF
THE. METER, BUT THOSE CHARGES WILL BE COVERED.BY A RESOLUTION RATHER
THAN IN THE ORDINANCE SIMPLY BECAUSE THOSE COSTS ARE VARIABLE AND
IT IS A LOT EASIER TO CHANGE A RESOLUTION THAN AN ORDINANCE. HE
THEN ASKED IF THE BOARD HAD ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR THE ENGINEER AND
THE ATTORNEY BECAUSE HE FELT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK WITH
A REVISED DRAFT OF THE ORDINANCE BEFORE IT IS ACTUALLY ADOPTED.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE FIRST WOULD LIKE TO HEAR
'Ju it 2102 8COK 35 PAcr, 212
FROM.THE PUBLIC, ESPECIALLY IN REGARD TO THEIR FEELINGS ON MANDATORY
OR PERMISSIVE CONNECTION. HE POINTED OUT THAT WHETHER RATES GO UP OR
DOWN IS VERY DEPENDENT ON HOW MANY CUSTOMERS WE -HAVE AND THE EXPENSE
OF THE SERVICE WILL BE LARGELY DEPENDENT UPON THE SUCCESS OF WHAT
WE HAVE NOW.
THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF ANYONE PRESENT WISHED TO BE HEARD.
VICTOR HART OF GIFFORD STATED THAT HIS QUESTION WOULD BE ON
THE'J)ATE THAT THE ORDINANCE WOULD COME INTO EFFECT. HE NOTED THAT
IF THE RATE THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING NOW IS SET UP ON THE WATER THAT
IS GOING TO BE SUPPLIED BY THE CITY, THEN HE WOULD FEEL THAT, BEFORE
THE RATE GOES INTO EFFECT, THE WATER SHOULD START PUMPING INTO THE
LINE FROM THE CITY BECAUSE IT WOULD BE UNFAIR TO PAY THIS KIND OF RATE
FOR THE SERVICE THEY ARE GETTING NOW. MR. HART CONTINUED THAT IF WE
ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT MANDATORY SERVICE, WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT
WHETHER WE ARE GOING TO PUT ALL THE COMMUNITY ON THE SYSTEM AT THE
SAME TIME. HE NOTED THAT THERE ARE AREAS THAT DONT HAVE THE WATER
LINE NOW.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT IT HAD BEEN PRETTY WELL UNDERSTOOD
THAT THE RATES WILL NOT GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL THE SYSTEM IS RENOVATED
AND THE NEW WATER IS GOING THROUGH TFE LINES, AND THE BOARD AGREED
THAT THIS IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT EXPLAINED THAT CONNECTION WILL ONLY BE
MANDATORY FOR THOSE WITHIN 200' OF THE LINE.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE AGREED THAT THIS IS THE WAY IT WILL.BE NOW,
AND NOTED THAT WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY TO EXPAND THE SEWER SYSTEM
AT THIS TIME. HE AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT BOTH AGREED THAT WHEN
PEOPLE HOOK UP TO THE SEWER, THEY MUST HOOK UP FOR WATER TOO.
DELORES ANDERSON INQUIRED ABOUT MAINTENANCE OF THE PLUMBING
SYSTEM AND ASKED IF THIS IS THE PLUMBING THAT IS GOING INTO THE HOUSE
RATHER THAN THE PIPE LINE OFF OF THE PROPERTY.
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT THE COUNTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE BIG LINES THAT GO IN FRONT OF SOMEONE IS PROPERTY, BUT THE HOME
OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LINE THAT HOOKS ONTO THE MAIN LINE AND
GOES UP TO THE HOUSE.
103
JUN2 1978 BOOK 35 Pacr. 213
MRS. ANDERSON NOTED THAT IT ALSO WILL BE REQUIRED THAT THE
PLUMBING IN THE HOUSE BE INSPECTED AND MEET CERTAIN STANDARDS BEFORE
IT CAN BE HOOKED UP. SHE ASKED IF THERE IS A TIME LIMIT ON THIS AND
WHETHER THE PLUMBING WILL HAVE TO BE UP TO STANDARD BY THE 29TH OF
AUGUST.
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT HE ASSUMED THE COUNTY WILL TRY
TO HANDLE THIS IN A REASONABLE MANNER AND THAT THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF
TIME TO GET PLUMBING FIXED BEFORE HOOK—UPS OCCUR.
MRS. ANDERSON NOTED THAT THE COUNTY IS TAKING OVER UDU AND
ASKED WHO THEY GO TO NOW IF THEY HAVE ANY GRIEVANCES, AND ATTORNEY
COLLINS STATED THAT LEON YOUNG IS STILL THE MAN TO TALK TO.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED WHETHER HOME OWNERS ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE SERVICE LINES ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE MAIN LINE OR JUST TO THEIR
PROPERTY LINE.
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT WHERE THE LINES ARE ON PRIVATE
PROPERTY, IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY, AND THAT WITH THE WATER, IT
WOULD BE FROM THE WATER METER TO THE HOUSE,
GEORGE YORK, KNOWN AS "TINY," PRESIDENT OF THE GIFFORD
JAYCEES, SAID THAT HE UNDERSTOOD THERE IS GOING TO BE A CHARGE OF
$200.00 FOR HOOK UP FOR THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO ARE NOT ALREADY
ON UDU, AND THOSE ALREADY 144VING THIS HOOK UP TO THEIR HOUSE WILL
ONLY HAVE TO PAY $15.00 TO GET THE WATER SERVICE.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE EXPLAINED THAT THE $15.00 IS A DEPOSIT FEE
THAT EVERYBODY WILL HAVE TO PAY. IF THEY ARE ON THE SYSTEM NOW AND
HAVE A DEPOSIT WHICH HAS NOT BEEN REFUNDED, IT WILL BE TRANSFERRED
OVER. THE CHAIRMAN CONTINUED THAT BY RESOLUTION AN INSTALLATION FEE
WILL BE SET UP FOR THE WATER METER AND FOR SEWER HOOK UP. THAT WILL
NOT BE DONE IN THIS ORDINANCE, BUT THE $200.00 CHARGE HAS BEEN GREATLY
DISCUSSED AND HAS BEEN SET FOR A STANDARD METER. THE $200.00 FEE IS
FOR.ANY NEW CUSTOMERS. CHAIRMAN WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT IF SOMEONE
'HAD WANTED TO TIE INTO THE UDU SYSTEM BEFORE THE COUNTY PURCHASED IT,
THEY. WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY A CONNECTION FEE OF $250. HE STATED THAT
THE $200.00 CONNECTION FEE COVERS THE COST OF THE METER AND THE IN—
STALLATION CHARGE AND IS A ONE TIME NON—REFUNDABLE CHARGE THAT MUST
BE PAID BY THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
Booz 35 FAuc 214
MR. YORK NOTED THAT HE HAS HIS METER SO HE IS LUCKY AND CAN GET
THE SERVICE FOR $15.00, BUT MANY PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY DONT HAVE
THIS CONVENIENCE. HE POINTED OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO
CAN T AFFORD THE $200.00 CHARGE, AND HE FELT THERE SHOULD BE SOME
WAY THAT THIS SYSTEM CAN BE RUN WHERE EVERYBODY CAN CUT INTO THE
LINE AND PUT IT ON THEIR MONTHLY BILL ACCORDING TO THE CAPACITY THEY
USE.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT'STATED THAT, IN OTHER WORDS, MR. YORK
IS SAYING RAISE THE RATE AND NOT HAVE AN ADDITIONAL CONNECTION FEE.
THE COMMISSIONER NOTED THAT WOULD NOT BE FAIR TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
ALREADY PAID.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT ALL THE MONEY WE ARE BORROWING
FROM FHA, THE GRANT FROM FHA, THE EDA GRANT, AND THE FEDERAL REVENUE
SHARING FUNDS - THIS ALL IS BEING UTILIZED TO RENOVATE THE OLD WATER
SYSTEM, TO MAKE THE INITIAL CORRECTION AND ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM WITH
THE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT, AND WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THESE DOLLARS
AND EXPAND THE SYSTEM AS FAR AS WE CAN. NONE OF THESE MONIES ARE
FOR METERS. THE CHAIRMAN CONTINUED THAT, BASED ON THE BIDS RECENTLY
OPENED, THE COST OF THE METER (THE INSTALLATION, THE LABOR, THE PIPE,
ETC.) ACTUALLY CAME TO $202.00; THERE IS NO PROFIT INCLUDED AT ALL,
IT IS A CHARGE THAT HAS TO BE MADE FOR EACH CONNECTION, AND THE $200.00
CHARGE FOR CONNECTION IS $50.00 LESS THAN UDU WAS CHARGING. HE STATED
THAT THE BOARD HAS GONE ON RECORD AS BEING RECEPTIVE TO SOME METHOD
OF PAYMENT WHICH WILL NOT REQUIRE THIS CHARGE TO BE PAID IN ONE LUMP
SUM. THE CHAIRMAN INFORMED THOSE PRESENT THAT THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
PASSED A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE MINIMUM DEPOSIT BE NO HIGHER
THAN $50.00 AND THAT MONTHLY PAYMENTS BE ALLOWED OVER 12 MONTHS, OR
LONGER IF POSSIBLE, SO THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE A REAL BURDEN. THE
CHAIRMAN NOTED THAT MR. YORK'S SUGGESTION WOULD MAKE PEOPLE ALREADY ON
THE SYSTEM PAY FOR SOMEBODY ELSE IS METER.
MR. YORK POINTED OUT THAT THE EXPENSE OF RUNNING A LINE
FROM THE HOUSE TO THE METER WOULD PROBABLY RUN $125.00 IN ADDITION
TO THE $200.00 CHARGE, PLUS THE FEE FOR PLUMBING INSPECTION, WHICH
ALL ADDS UP TO QUITE A RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PEOPLE OF GIFFORD, AND
HE FELT ALL SHOULD SUFFER TOGETHER TO TRY TO WORK THIS OUT.
U 105 BOOK 35 PAGE 215
CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THERE ARE SOME PROGRAMS THAT MAY BE
ABLE TO HELP, SUCH AS THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES COUNCIL'S WEATHERIZA-
TIQN PROGRAM. HE HOPED THAT WHEN WE DO GET TO THOSE CASES WHERE
THERE WOULD BE AN EXTREME BURDEN, THAT SOME PROGRAM WOULD BE FOUND
THAT COULD HELP. HE NOTED THAT THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IS THAT WE MUST
SET UP AN ORDINANCE THAT MUST BE EFFECTIVE AND ON AN EQUAL BASIS TO
EVERYONE, IN ADDITION, WE MUST OPERATE TO MEET OUR MORTGAGE, BUT NOT
TO MAKE A PROFIT, AND WE MUST SET THE RATES SO THESE DOLLARS CAN BE
PAID BACK. OBVIOUSLY AS THE SYSTEM GROWS, IT WILL HAVE AN AFFECT ON
THE RATES AND POSSIBLY DECREASE THEM. CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT,
IN THE MEANTIME, THIS IS THE WAY WE MUST G0, AND HE FELT IT WILL
BENEFIT EVERYONE IN THIS AREA TO MAKE THIS SUCCESS AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE BY GETTING AS MANY PEOPLE ON LINE AS POSSIBLE.
JIMMIE HOLT INQUIRED ABOUT THOSE SEPTIC TANKS THAT ARE
ALREADY EXISTING, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT IF THERE IS AN
EXISTING SEPTIC TANK, HE DID NOT FEEL THE COUNTY CAN FORCE THE OWNER
TO ABANDON HIS USE OF IT.
MR. HOLT THEN NOTED THAT A PROPERTY OWNER IS SUPPOSED TO BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LINES FROM THE WATER METER BACK AND NOTED THAT HE
HAS FOUND WHERE TWO LINES ARE HOOKED ON TO THE ONE ON HIS PROPERTY
ILLEGALLY AND ASKED WHAT WOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL HAVE TO
BE CORRECTED, AND THE ENGINEERS AND MR. YOUNG WILL WORK WITH MR. HOLT
ON THIS SITUATION.
DELORES ANDERSON NOTED THAT SOME OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS IN
GIFFORD OWN MORE THAN ONE STRUCTUREi SHE STATED THAT SHE LIVES IN ONE
HOME AND RENTS ANOTHER AND ASKED, IF SHE HAS TO PAY TO HOOK UP BOTH
IF SHE WOULD GET A DISCOUNT.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR EACH
RESIDENCE AND AT THE SAME RATE.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT NO ONE SO FAR HAS EXPRESSED
AN.OPINION IN REGARD TO MANDATORY OR PERMISSIVE HOOK UP.
MR. HOLT STATED THAT HE FELT IN THE INTEREST OF THE HEALTH
OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY, HOOK UP SHOULD BE -MANDATORY. HE
NOTED THAT THEY HAVE A LOT OF UNSANITARY CONDITIONS EXISTING AND IF
106
BOOK 3 5 PAGF 2l 8
POSITIVE STEPS ARE NOT TAKEN, THEY WON `T BE ABLE TO CURE THESE
CONDITIONS. HE SUGGESTED THAT IF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT DETERMINES
THAT A SEPTIC TANK OR WELL DOES NOT MEET HEALTH STANDARDS, HOOK UP TO
SYSTEM SHOULD BE MADE MANDATORY.
REVEREND DON BROWN ASKED IF THE SEWER RATE OF $7.50 PER
MONTH WOULD BE MANDATORY FOR ONE YEAR OR TWO YEARS.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT THIS RATE WOULD BE IN EFFECT UNTIL
THE BOARD CHANGED IT, AND HE FELT ANY CHANGE WOULD DEPEND UPON THE
ACTIVITY ON THE SYSTEM AND THE RESULTS DETERMINED FROM THE FIRST YEAR `S
OPERATION. THE CHAIRMAN FELT THIS RATE WOULD BE IN EFFECT AT LEAST FOR
THE FIRST YEAR, BUT SUBJECT TO REVISION AT ANY TIME BASED UPON WHETHER
THE REVENUE IS THERE TO PAY OFF THE DEBT. HE CONTINUED THAT THIS RATE
IS BASED UPON ONLY THE PRESENT USERS AND THAT SHOULD GENERATE SUFFI-
CIENT DOLLARS TO PAY BACK FHA. IF, HOWEVER, THE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS
SHOULD DOUBLE, THE PAYMENT TO FHA STILL WILL BE THE SAME AND THERE WOULD
BE EXCESS MONEY THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED IN REDUCING THE COST OF THE
SERVICE.
LEON YOUNG STATED THAT HE HAS HAD THE CHANCE TO SERVE ON
THE GIFFORD WATER AND SEWER ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND IS ON RECORD AS
BEING STRONGLY OF THE OPINION THAT MANDATORY HOOK UP IS NECESSARY.
HE AGREED THAT THE HOOK UP FEE MIGHT BE HIGH FOR SOME OF THE PEOPLE,
BUT POINTED OUT THAT THE RATE OF SICKNESS IN THE AREA IS HIGH ALSO.
HE FELT THEY MUST PUT PRIORITY ON THE RIGHT VALUES, AND THAT THE LIVES
AND HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN
DOLLARS AND CENTS. MR. YOUNG CONTINUED THAT THE WATER CONDITION IN
HIS AREA IS VERY BAD, AND IN A SURVEY TAKEN, 20% OF THE WATER WAS
FOUND TO BE CONTAMINATED. HE POINTED OUT THAT THERE ARE TENANTS IN
RENTAL APARTMENTS THAT VERY MUCH DESIRE GOOD DRINKING WATER, BUT WOULD
PROBABLY NOT BE ABLE TO GET IT BECAUSE OF THE RELUCTANCE OF THE LAND-
LORD TO HOOK UP TO THE SYSTEM, AND HE FELT THESE PEOPLE MUST BE
SAFEGUARDED. MR. YOUNG FELT THAT MANDATORY HOOK UP IS THE ONLY WAY
MANY OF THE RESIDENCES IN THE AREA'WILL GET GOOD TREATED WATER,
AND FOR THE SAKE OF THEM ALL, HE HOPED THAT THE COMMISSION WILL MAKE
THIS A REALITY. HEP -STATED THAT THEY ARE DETERMINED THAT THIS SYSTEM
AS IT IS COMING IN NOW WILL BECOME A GOOD, FINANCIALLY -SOUND, WORKABLE
SYSTEM.

COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER FELT THAT THERE ARE A GREAT MANY
PEOPLE LOCATED ON THE PRESENT LINES THAT ARE NOT HOOKED ON TO THEM,
AND ENGINEER BEINDORF AGREED THAT THERE ARE PROBABLY ABOUT 300 UNITS
OF SOME SORT THAT COULD BE ADDED ONTO THE PRESENT SYSTEM.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT RETURNED THE DISCUSSION TO PAYMENT OF
BILLS AND FELT THERE MUST BE EITHER A PENALTY OR A DISCOUNT OR SOME
SORT OF INCENTIVE TO MAKE PEOPLE PAY THEIR BILLS ON TIME. HE NOTED
THAT THE CITY OF VERO BEACH DOES NOT DISCONNECT SERVICE UNTIL A
SECOND NOTICE AND FELT THE COUNTY SHOULD FOLLOW THIS SAME POLICY.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED ABOUT A RECONNECTION FEE, AND ENGINEER
BEINDORF SAID HE FELT IT SHOULD BE $20.00.
VICTOR'HART ASKED IF THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT $20.00 TO LOCK
THE METER OR TO TAKE THE METER OUT.
BY A RECONNECTION FEE.
HE WAS NOT CLEAR WHAT THEY MEANT
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT IF WATER SERVICE IS TURNED
OFF FOR NON-PAYMENT OF THE BILL, IT WILL COST $20.00 TO HAVE IT
TURNED BACK ON.
MR. HART FELT SUCH A CHARGE WAS WAY OUT OF LINE AND STATED
THAT HE DID NOT KNOW OF ANOTHER UTILITY SYSTEM IN THE STATE THAT
CHARGED THIS MUCH.
IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT THE CITY OF VERO BEACH CHARGES EVEN
MORE, AND ALSO THAT THERE WOULD BE THREE TRIPS INVOLVED WITH GIVING
NOTICE, LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE METER.
DELORES ANDERSON ASKED IF A LATE FEE WOULD BE ON THE WATER
AND SEWER SEPARATELY OR ON THE TOTAL BILL AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT
WOULD BE ON THE TOTAL BILL.
ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THE MAIN ISSUE IS WHETHER HOOK UP
SHOULD BE MANDATORY, AND COMMISSIONER DEESON SUGGESTED THAT THE BOARD
ASK THOSE PRESENT TO INDICATE THEIR FEELINGS WITH A SHOW OF HANDS.
COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED HOW MANY PRESENT WERE IN FAVOR OF
.MANDATORY HOOK UP, AND THE MAJORITY OF THOSE PRESENT RAISED THEIR
HANDS,
A LADY IN THE AUDIENCE WHO RAISED HER HAND IN OPPOSITION
STATED THAT SHE FELT THE PEOPLE IN THE AREA SHOULD FIRST BE GIVEN A
CHANCE AND THEN THE BOARD SHOULD MAKE IT MANDATORY IF THEY HAD TO.

JUN 2 11978
VICTOR HART AGREED THAT POSSIBLY THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE GIVEN THIS
OPTION. HE SUGGESTED THAT THE WATER BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR A CERTAIN
NUMBER OF MONTHS AND IF A CERTAIN FIGURE IS NOT REACHED AFTER THAT
TIME, THE BOARD WOULD HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE EXCEPT TO MAKE IT MANDATORY,
COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER FELT IT MUST EITHER BE MANDATORY OR
NOT, AND POINTED OUT THAT MAKIN& IT MANDATORY WOULD ASSURE THE SUCCESS
OF THE SYSTEM.
REVEREND BROWN NOTED THAT THE PEOPLE OF HIS AREA HAVE WORRIED
THE BOARD FOR YEARS ABOUT GETTING WATER AND NOW THAT IT IS GOING TO
BE AVAILABLE, HE FELT IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY FOR EVERYBODY, AND IN
ADDITION, THIS.WOULD MAKE HIS RATES COME DOWN.
DELORES ANDERSON NOTED THAT IF HOOK UP IS NOT MADE MANDATORY
A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE RENTING PROPERTY WON'T DO IT, AND IF YOU ARE
GOING TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION, YOU HAVE GOT TO START SOMEWHERE.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED WHEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TURN
ON THE WATER, AND ENGINEER BEINDORF STATED LATE AUGUST OR EARLY
SEPTEMBER.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT THEN SUGGESTED THAT UP UNTIL JANUARY IST
IT WOULD BE PERMISSIVE, BUT AS OF JANUARY IST IT WOULD BECOME MANDATORY,
WHICH WOULD GIVE THE PEOPLE SOME TIME TO WORK WITH.
CONVERSATION CONTINUED IN REGARD TO DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND
METHODS OF PAYMENT, AND CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF THE BOARD WISHED TO
REDRAFT AND READVERTISE OR JUST CONTINUE THE MEETING TO A LATER DATE.
COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THE ORDINANCE MUST BE WORKED ON,
AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT HE.000LD HAVE IT READY BY THE NEXT
MEETING.
COMMISSIONER LOY THEN SUGGESTED THAT WE RECESS THE PUBLIC
HEARING AND CONTINUE IT TO THE NEXT MEETING TO GO OVER THE CHANGES
MADE.
ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED IF WATER OR SEWER OR EACH IS GOING
TO BE MANDATORY.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE
NEXT DRAFT HAVE MANDATORY PROVISIONS FOR BOTH.
CHAIRMAN'WODTKE AGREED THAT AS SEWER BECOMES AVAILABLE IT
MUST BE MANDATORY, BUT STATED THAT HE WOULD SUPPORT THE ADVISORY
COMMITTEE WHICH NOW FEELS THAT HOOK UP SHOULD BE MANDATORY ONLY AS
BOOK 35 PAGE 21 J
JUN 211978 X09
A LAST RESORT.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT THAT WE MAY WELL END UP HAVING
TO MAKE IT MANDATORY, BUT DID NOT FEEL NOW IS THE.TIME TO DO IT.
COMMISSIONER Loy STATED THAT SHE WOULD SUPPORT MAKING HOOK
UP MANDATORY AND WOULD LIKE THE ATTORNEY TO AT LEAST PREPARE THE
REDRAFT THAT WAY AND LEAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN.
COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER AGREED THAT THIS SHOULD BE DONE TO
SEE WHAT KIND OF REACTION WE WOULD GET.
