Mr. Tom Groover presented each Councilman with a progress report on the sewer extension now being done. In addition, Mr. Groover read the report aloud for the benefit of the public. Included in this report was the suggestion that inverts be con- structed in the manholes in the Silver Ridge system and that they be plaster-coated to prevent leakage of ground water into the system and an inspection for the system to determine the source of sand in the lines and the necessary repairs to be performed. Mayor Cairnie asked if this work could be done by our men under the supervision of Briley, Wild & Associates. Mr. Groover stated they would be glad to supervise the work. Mayor Cairnie asked Mr. Groover about including three houses on Kumquat Tree Drive in the sewer extension now in progress. Mr. Groover stated that a study had been made and it was recommended that this was a feasible expenditure for the city's funds. Motion was duly made by Councilman Dimm that the City extend its contract with Sanitary Engineering Company to extend the sewer line from the presently existing line to and along Ku~quat Tree Drive to 20th Street, subject to review by the City Attorney, seconded by Councilman Dietz and by vote CARRIED. The roll call vote was unanimous. Mayor Cairnie asked Mr. Groover to explain their study concerning the East Volusia Mosquito Control Drainage Ditch. Mr. Groover stated that the Mosquito Control District requested that the City lower three (3) street culverts in the Highland Shores Subdivision to correspond with their projected deepening of the ditch to become a tide water canal as far south as Park Avenue, salt water being an important ally in the control of mosquito larvae. He went on to say that Briley,Wild ~ Associates had ~ade a study of this request and recommended that the City comply with the request as it would help to control mosquito breeding and provdde better drainage for the City. He stated that ten (10) intersections were affected and the present pipe was too small and had to be replaced with larger pipe. In answer'to a question from Councilman Dimm if anything had been done in regard to this matter, Mayor Cairnie statedrthat the ditch had been surveyed ahd that negations are under way to acquire the necessary right-of-way. Mr. Smith of India Palm and 18th Street asked Mr. Groover if his residence would be included in the present sewer extension, to which Mr. Groover replied that it would be included in the next phase of sewer extension. Mr. Heinsohn of Florida Shores asked about having the water lines extended to 32nd Street and Queen Palm Drive. Mr. Groover stated that it wa~ not feasible at this time because this location was three streets up and across from the present lines.
