Box 100 Edgewater, F1 32132 -0100 Dear Mr. Karat: In behalf of the Association of Edgewater Landing Owners, Inc., we are requesting abandonment of a section of the City of Edgewater owned road right -of -way at the south entrance to Edgewater Landing as shown on the attached sketches. To the best of our knowledge the abandonment of this section of the road will not affect the ownership or right of convenient access of abutting property owners. This section of road is part of the road system in Edgewater Landing, owned by the City of Edgewater and shown on • the plat for Phase II as recorded with Volusia County Plat Book 42, Page 33 and as shown on the attached recorded plat; and as a section of City road it is tax - exempt and there is no tax roll showing this exemption. Edgewater Landing is a guarded community with a guard on duty at the main entrance 24 hours a day for the safety and protection of the residents of Edgewater Landing. With the approval of the City of Edgewater we have been temporarily gating the south entrance every night since Phase II was constructed. For the well being and protection of the whole community we would like to continue this practice and to do so we would require the City to abandon this section of road. We fully realize that the police and fire department will need quick and easy access through this entrance in case of emergency therefore we will follow their suggestions and specifications for securing this gate. err We appreciate your consideration in helping us accomplish this matter. - incer7, Marte Berge Radnor /Edgewater, Inc.

City of Edgewater 104 N. Riverside Drive Edgewater, FL 32132 Dear Mark, The Association at Edgewater Landing has been transferred by the developer to the homeowners as of January 1, 1997. The new Board of Directors has become aware of a serious problem regarding the security of our elder community. The south entrance at Starboard Avenue has been gated for the last several years which in conjunction with our security guard post at Homeport Terrace provide security which our homeowners expect to continue. Unfortunately several weeks ago we discovered that the southern entrance which we had been promised title to as a private road had been turned over to the city. The developer, Radnor Corporation, has applied for abandonment of the section of Starboard Avenue to correct this 'Illaswerror. We realize that as part of that process questions of emergency access and egress will come up. The Association is also concerned about emergency access and has discussed this many times in the past year. There have been many suggestions on how to provide the access compatible with the security that our homeowners were promised. The Board of Directors is proposing to install a motorized gate to solve the emergency access problem. We would suggest a system of either electric key or remote control opening of the gate for ingress along with either the same for egress or possibly a sensor embedded in the street for egress operation of the gate. The gate would be on a timer providing a closure after perhaps 10 -15 seconds. In order to insure service during power failures we would most likely install a back up battery/inverter system for maximum safety. We would welcome the City's input on the gate system before we proceed. The Association in addition to installing this system at its expense would also provide any keys or remote control to all City emergency vehicles. We would also provide quarterly maintenance if remote controllers were supplied in order to unsure reliability. Sincerely, 4✓ H.T. Hagan r President. C: V i o a \e n g \kare t 9 7.102 C AGENDA REQUEST C.A. NO.: 97 -66 Date: 04/15/97 PUBLIC HEARING RESOLUTION 04/21/97 ORDINANCE OTHER CONSENT BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE ITEM DESCRIPTION /SUBJECT: Resolution No. 97 -R -08 Establishing Security Procedures for Absentee Ballots BACKGROUND: In 1995 the Florida Legislature applied the election code to municipalities. Accordingly it is necessary for the City to establish procedures regulating the issuance, maintenance and completion of absentee ballots in municipal elections. Attached Resolution No. 97 -R- 08 proposes such procedures. In another election issue, Staff is requesting direction from the council. Pursuant to Chapter 95 -462, Special Acts of Florida, the City elections shall be held at the time established by the Election Code for second primaries - that is five weeks before the general election. This year the election will be held on September 30, 1997. Section 3.04 of the Charter provides that the term of office for Councilmembers shall begin the first Wednesday after the first Monday in November. As the result of the change in election dates, the new Council would not take office until five (5) weeks after the election. Previously, a new Council took office the day after the election. If the Council desires, pursuant to Section 7 of Chapter 95 -462 and Section 166.021(4), Florida Statutes, it is my opinion that this provision of the Charter may be amended by ordinance. One option may be to establish the next regular Council meeting after the election as the date the new term begins. This would allow a "grace" period in case election results have not been finalized by the day after the election. Section 1 of Resolution 94 -R- 01 establishes the first and third Mondays of the month as regular Council meeting dates. If the Council wishes to leave the term of office as it is currently established in the Charter, that is consistent with Chapter 95 -462 which provides that municipal officers shall take office no later than the second Tuesday after the first Monday in January. *err RECOMMENDATION /CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that the City Council consider approval of Resolution No. 97 -R -08. In addition, Staff requests direction regarding the date term of office should begin.

Storey City Attorney Nor 97 -R -11 2 (9a AGENDA REQUEST Date: April 1. 1997 NEW UNFINISHED CONSENT April 21. 1997 BUSINESS BUSINESS PUBLIC HEARING RESOLUTION ORDINANCE ITEM DESCRIPTION /SUBJECT: Approve transfer of $2,358.21 from the Special Law Enforcement Trust Fund (the " Fund ") into the General Fund. BACKGROUND: On July 1, 1992, the Legislature changed the requirements in Chapter 932 Florida Statutes, subsection 932.705(4)(c)3.F.S. relating to contraband forfeitures. Law enforcement agencies must expend or donate 15% of their collections (if $15,000 or greater) to specified programs. This requirement is based on the `' previous fiscal year's collections. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 the Fund collected a total of $15,721.39 from forfeitures and other revenues earmarked for the Fund. Since revenues collected exceed the $15,000, 15% or $2,358.21 is due to be expended. RECOMMENDATION /CONCLUSION: Currently the City is still participating in the DARE program. Personnel costs alone for this program exceed the amount required to be expended from the Fund for specified programs. The DARE program qualifies as a specified program under Chapter 932. Therefore, I respectfully request that the transfer of $2,358.21 from the Special Law Enforcement Trust Fund into the General Fund to help offset some of the associated costs of the DARE program be approved.

AGENDA REQUEST Date: April 15, 1997 PUBLIC HEARINGS, ORDINANCES, AND RESOLUTIONS CONSENT AGENDA OTHER BUSINESS April 21, 1997 ITEM DESCRIPTION /SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Plan for FY 1997 and Update of 5 -year Budget Projections (Note: I will be out of town on Monday and unable to attend the Council Meeting. If you have any questions prior to the meeting, please contact me. I will be available through Friday (4/18/97). Jack Corder will attend the meeting to address any questions regarding the Turgot Ave. and the Senior Center projects.) BACKGROUND: It is anticipated that the City will receive $112,179 in CDBG money in Fiscal Year 1997. This figure is an estimate due to the continuing uncertainty associated with the Federal Government's budget. This current year the City has been allocated $104,351. The process has been delayed about one month this year. The delay was the result of a controversy over a new allocation formula proposed by the County staff that would have reduced the amount of money available to each of the cities. For example, our allocation would have been reduced 34% from the original formula. Naturally, the staffs of all the cities reacted strongly to this proposal and the County revised the formula again. Volusia County has requested that we prepare an Annual Plan Worksheet for 1997 and also update our 5 -year Budget Projections. Staff has attached copies of these proposed documents for your review and approval. Staff is not proposing any project changes from those submitted last year. As in the past, it is the Annual Plan Worksheet and the first year of the 5 -year Budget Projections that represents a commitment. The 4 out - years are for planning purposes only. Staff is proposing that the FY 1997 funds be used for the continuation of the Mini - system 4 Wastewater Rehabilitation project. This will be the final year for this activity. The Turgot Ave. paving project is shown in Fiscal Years 98 and 99. The Senior Center project is shown for Fiscal Years 99 through 2001. Attached is a letter from Gerald Chester of the Central Florida Community Development Corporation concerning the proposed senior center. This organization is very interested in getting involved in SE Volusia and may be able to help us leverage CDBG funds to complete this project sooner than 2001. Once the Council determines what projects it wants done, the City's submittal will become part of the County's action plan. The action plan must then be approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) before any monies can be disbursed to the City. RECOMMENDATION /CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that the City Council consider approving the Annual Plan Worksheet and Five Year Budget Projections for transmission to Volusia County.

CFCDC has been in busi ess for approximately 15 years. This corporation is a community based nonprofit organization, Its , ission is to create affordable housing, economic opportunities and improve the quality of life for Tower ' one persons. CFCDC is compo • :d of four components. First, the housing component includes the development of both owner- occupied an rental units. Second, the economic component includes small business services/business incubation and bus ness facility development. Third, the quality of life component includes youth and senior facility developme, t. Fourth, the administrative component includes program consultation redevelopment coordination servii es, strategic planning, and administrative technical assistance, Recently, Lynn P1: . kett and I discussed the development of a senior center in the City of Edgewater. Mrs, ,, Plaskett informed e that lack of funding is an impediment to carrying out this activity within one year. I have discussed thi: issue with a few bankers and one foundation that lend monies to nonprofit organizations that demonstrate th capacity to retire debt. As a result, I believe that there may be some alternatives to the above funding dile ma. Therefore, I am requesting a meeting with you and your staff within the next couple of weeks to discus a few potential alternatives for building the Edgewater Senior Center, Should there be qu• stions, please call me at the below listed number, G -rald •..Chester President and CEO gc cc: Lynn Plaskett Shirley Green 6.1 c: lofflcelwpwinlcfcdcladminlapr971003 _0497, A r%IR IN,UAING rfttKf14.1n1 P.

Change Order No. 5 II. REQUIRED CHANGES: Extend original contract final completion date by thirty -two (32) days. w III. JUSTIFICATION: The rationale in supporting the time extension as excusable delays is explained in the City Engineer's April 10, 1997 correspondence to City Manager. Acknowledgment: The aforementioned change, and work affected thereby, is subject to all provisions of the original contract not specifically changed by this Change Order; and It is expressly understood and agreed that the approval of the Change Order shall have no effect on the original contract other than matters expressly provided herein.

Fegley, City Engineer Subject: Florida Shores Roadway Improvement Project - Part B Change Order No. 5 MEMORANDUM Contract Time Extension Date: April 10, 1997 This memorandum shall supplement and support Change Order No. 5 which extends Part B contract time 32 calendar days. As discussed Halifax Paving, Inc. is warranted the extension based on justification of three separate issues, each of which stemmed from the City's request. Item No. 1 involves augmenting rip -rap material for the Fern Palm Drive and 1 6th Street canal headwall and discharge flumes. Agreed to time extension is four calendar days. See attached Halifax correspondence dated 3/18/97. Item No. 2 involves drainage modifications for Coco Palm Drive, Date Palm Drive, and Evergreen Drive cul -de -sacs. These unscheduled runs of RCP pipe delayed roadway construction for seven calendar due to material delivery. See attached Volusia Construction correspondence dated 11/26/96. Item No. 3 is a direct result of the City requesting Halifax to proceed and prioritize the completion of Roberts Road and 30th Street resurfacing work. Halifax understood the City's need to concentrate on these roadways during school break and made a diligent effort to complete this work by focusing their equipment and manpower exclusively on this work. In fairness the change order time extension for Part B should not have run consecutively with the Roberts Road/30th Street changes but should have been segregated and run in series with the latter. As such the time allotted for Roberts Road/30th Street which is 21 days should be recognized and added to Part B contract time. The total time extension of 32 days extends the final completion date to June 25, 1997. It should be noted the final contract completion date for Part A is July 19, thus Part B will still finish prior to the overall R.I.P. contract completion date and no further extension of consultants' time will be necessary due to the proposed time extension.

McMahon, City Manager c'-y. SUBJECT: Request for City Coverage on Insurance City Council requested that we confirm the medical insurance eligibility of Larry Westfall based on his situation. Please be advised that we have contacted Social Security Administration and they stated that Medicare insurance begins the first day of the 25th month after the start of receiving Social Security benefits. Larry began receiving Social Security benefits in June of 1995, therefore, he will be eligible to receive the Social Security Medicare insurance benefits beginning July this year (1997). i.,.- City Council had previously received the status of benefits paid by the City to Larry Westfall through April 29, 1997. This report is included for your deliberations on this matter. There are no legal or administrative issues involved. Therefore, disposition of this matter is solely a prerogative and policy decision of City Council. 'fir GEM:Isk Attachment DATE: Jan. 22, 1997 TO: George E. McMahon, City Manager FROM: Deborah Sigler, Human Resources Dir. kd' SUBJ: Larry Westfall's status since his work injury Per your request, the following is a summary of the situation: May 5, 1994 Larry suffered work related injuries and his workers compensation case began shortly thereafter. Larry received 1000 pay until his workers comp benefits ran out in Sept., 1995. His weekly salary was $735.42. Once a month he was paid an additional $210.12 for the accrued sick leave benefit, and $130.00 Police incentive. Pursuant to our policies he continued accruing benefits monthly while on paid status and he remained on our group insurance policies at a cost to the City of $234.55 per month. After workers comp benefits ran out, he continued to receive full pay, pulling from his vacation accrual (accrued sick leave, and incentive) until Feb., 1996. `- After his accrued vacation ran out, he continued to receive full pay, pulling from his sick accrual (and incentive) until April 29, 1996 when a final check was cut to him to cover the again accrued vacation,($4,202.40 gross). Two attempts were made prior to April 29,1996 to have Larry file for Family and Medical Leave, which he did not reply to. Larry was also informed several times to file with Social Security regarding his disability status. In Oct. 1996 I received a copy of the certification from Social Security that Larry had been deemed disabled and paid accordingly back to June of 1995. I can not report on the amount of money he received because the figures were blacked out on my copy, but he did receive pay from Social Security retroactive back to June, 1995. Since June, 1995 we paid Larry $43,960.42. If we had known he was deemed disabled in June we would have cut him a final check then, which would not have included the following benefits he earned by remaining in pay status: 300 hours of vacation time 132 hours of sick time 108 hours of holiday pay 24 hours of personal holiday 1300.00 of Police incentive pay all amounting to $11,175.64. • 'Ll."11 err INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM EDGEWATER, FLORIDA TO: City Council FROM: Krista A. Storey, City Attorney / C.A. NO.: 97 -84 DATE: April 16, 1997 SUBJECT: Section 112.19(h), Florida Statutes Attached is a copy of Section 112.19(h), Florida Statutes which ° j" provides health insurance benefits for law enforcement officers who on or after January 1, 1995, suffer a catastrophic injury in the line of duty. In such case, the employer pays the entire premium of the employer's health insurance plan for the injured employee, the injured employee's spouse, and for each dependent child. If the injured employee subsequently dies, the employer shall continue to pay the entire health insurance premium for the surviving spouse until remarried, and the dependent children. Please note that Section 112.19(h)l.a. states "Health insurance benefits payable from any other source shall reduce the benefits payable under this section." Section 112.19(h)2. provides that "In order for the officer, spouse, and dependent children to be eligible for such insurance coverage, the injury must have occurred as the result of the officer's response to fresh pursuit, the officer's response to what is reasonably believed to be an emergency, or an unlawful act perpetrated by another."

McMahon, City Manager SUBJECT: Discussion of DOT's preliminary plans for Widening SR 442 /Engineering and staff report Please be advised that the City Engineer, Kyle Fegley, has recently reviewed the above referenced plans and subsequent to his discussion with me, we have the following concerns that we wish to discuss with City Council at Monday's Council meeting. They are: 1. The elimination of most and certainly critical median crossovers. 2. The subsequent impact of traffic traveling east and west on 442, as well as the impact of traffic rerouting through parts of Florida Shores. 3. The severe economic impact of merchants and businesses in commercial areas on 442, i.e., service stations and the strip mall at Hibiscus. 4. The negative impact on roads that were designed and improved for heavy commercial traffic which were intended to have full left and right hand turns, i.e., Hibiscus and Guava. 5. Proposed water retention areas and negative impact on private properties. Kyle is meeting with DOT tomorrow to review his concerns and it is very important that City Council understand and take a strong position to support the City's desires in this matter.

Also, suggestions have also been made by the City of Edgewater that they could provide services at better cost. The County has recently asked that the City formalize its offer to clarify how they will provide utility service to the area and at what price to the customer. A copy of that letter is attached for your information. The County's position regarding utility services in southeast Volusia is stated in this letter. The objectives of the regional project are to upgrade services in the area by eliminating septic systems and package plants, to avoid discharge of effluent to the river and to keep services affordable to our customers. If the City of Edgewater can provide equivalent services and do so at a better price, then the alternative of Edgewater being the utility provider in the unincorporated areas warrants serious consideration. We have been advised by City staff that a response to our letter should be ready in a couple weeks. We anticipate the need to analyze that proposal in terms of its assumptions, options presented and comparative value. It seems premature for the County, or for that matter the City, to commit to an exchange regarding a proposal that at this time is speculative at best. However, we also appreciate the need for the Hacienda customers to be informed regarding their utility services generally and the southeast wastewater project specifically. There appears to be both confusion and misinformation which we would like to dispel. We suggest that County staff come to the Hacienda community center for 2 -3 hours on Friday - April 25 and Monday - April 28 to answer questions and hear your residents' concerns regarding their services and costs. We believe this approach offers flexibility and easy access for both individual and group questions to be addressed. You can advise us what time(s) of day (morning, afternoon or evening) are most convenient. We are also enclosing a Question and Answer sheet based on some of the questions we have been asked by customers in the southeast service area. We will do a separate mailing of this information to the Hacienda customers. Please advise us if the dates or times suggested are inconvenient. If additional sessions seem appropriate they will be scheduled. Sincerely, ..71'k a-At- Mary Anne Connors, Director Water and Utilities Services MAC/km • County Council `� \ Lawrence W.

Box 100 Edgewater, FL 32121 -0100 Re: Wastewater Treatment Dear Mayor Hayman: . In 1994 our respective govemments agreed on a mutually acceptable service district for the provision of water and sewer utility service to the residents in the unincorporated area of Southeast Volusia County. We believed then, and still do, that the county utility system is in the best posture to provide environmentally sound, cost effective utility service to our customers. However, we did not then, nor do we now, rule out consideration of any realistic altematives to the way those services are provided. Our actions to build a regional wastewater treatment and reclamation system have been consistent with our interlocal agreement and well known by Edgewater officials. At our last formal meeting with the city manager, community services director and utilities director in September 1996, this longstanding plan was reaffirmed by all parties. City officials acknowledged that Edgewater could not provide equivalent capacity to the planned County plant. Mr. McMahon said the City might have .5 mgd available depending on the rerating request which was pending at that time. It was acknowledged that this (.5 mgd) was less than the initial capacity of the planned County facility (.6 mgd) and significantly less than the long term plant capacity of 1.2 mgd. It was further acknowledged that the pursuit of SRF funding, a process with which the City is familiar, would not allow the County to revise or postpone its plans based on speculation. The meeting concluded with a mutual agreement the County would proceed with its plan. Any implication the County has ignored or misrepresented offers from the City of Edgewater is a gross distortion of the facts. We continue to hear indirectly or read in the paper about Edgewater's interest in providing service to our customers in the unincorporated area. To date, the city has made no formal proposal regarding services. If Edgewater has a more feasible and environmentally responsible plan, it is time to set aside rhetoric and identify and commit to the specifics of that plan. Page 1 of 2 As previously stated we are certainly open to change the way we are currently doing business. However, the following prudent business conditions must logically be met: 1. The customers must be better served. (Service level, cost and timing) 2. Service provision must support the Indian River Lagoon Act and a no discharge polic 3. e County utility system and ratepayers must be made financially whole for investments, assets and anticipated revenues. Assessment of the City's proposal and its consistency with these general conditions requires the information we have requested in the following pages. We know you have already considered most of these items prior to suggesting that the City will provide utility service to the current county service district. We further note that any assumptions regarding the availability of SRF funds for this system should be avoided. As we have previously discussed, the SRF process has critical compliance dates. The County is required to have plans completed by June 15, 1997, and permits approved by September 1997 to receive its funding allocation. It is unlikely that any restructuring of the County SRF plan at this point could be designed, permitted and approved in this time frame and the City should structure its service proposal in this context. Progress on the Southeast Facility will necessarily continue until such time as the County and City reach a mutually acceptable. agreement. We are prepared and positively disposed to give prompt and due consideration to the City's specific offer for full assumption of water and wastewater services in the unincorporated areas of southeast Volusia. Realizing your offer will involve a renegotiation of our service area agreement more extensive financial analysis will be necessary to insure we meet the three basic conditions. We are prepared to fast track negotiations for the service district and await your expeditious response. Sincer , j ai erence .

The Southeast Regional Wastewater System has two major objectives: eliminate indirect discharges to the Indian River from septic systems and wastewater treatment plant percolation ponds; upgrade a fragmented and mostly aging infrastructure for better customer service and provide capacity for future development in the area. 2 What does the project involve? The project components include: Collection and transmission lines which collect and transport untreated sewage to a treatment facility A wastewater treatment plant with an initial capacity of .6 mgd expandable to 1.2 mgd (mgd = million gallons per day) A disposal system to take the treated effluent from the plant and dispose of it by irrigation without any discharge to the river These components are givens regardless of who constructs or operates the system. 3 How long has the project been planned? How is it being paid for? Planning began in 1989. Feasibility of the project was (is) based on securing low interest funding from the State of Florida, known as the State Revolving Fund or SRF. These funds are available to assist communities with wastewater projects and involve a rigorous planning and approval process with strict deadlines for specific actions. The County has been involved in this application process since 1994. The current status of the project is that engineering plans, specifications and permit applications have to be submitted to the state by mid -June. Plans and permits must be approved by the state by September or the funding allocation will be voided. 4 Why is this SRF loan important? The loan rate for this project is 3.25 %. Conventional funding would run about 6% which drives up the loan payback amount 25 - 30 %. 5 How much will the project cost? A cost summary sheet is attached. The total project cost is $11.5 million dollars. These budgeted figures were developed for the loan request and actual costs may be lower. 6 What happens if there is no SRF loan from the state? The County will have to look at conventional financing and consider options for meeting the Indian River Lagoon Act. 7 How will the loan be repaid and by whom? The County operates as a utility system. Its obligations are paid by system revenues from both operating revenues (monthly charges to customers) and capital revenues (fees paid by new customers, often developers, for their share of capacity in the lines and plant facilities). Revenues to the system from our 4,000 wastewater customers and 8,000 water customers plus new connections are used to make debt payments. Debts are not associated with particular projects or customer groups for repayment purposes. The exception is an improvement of purely local benefit, eg. the local collection systems which will be constructed in Indian Harbor and South Waterfront Park. These systems will be paid through a special assessment. No tax monies are used by the County utility system. It has operated for 10 years on its own revenues. 8 What will this do to the rates? System revenues for 1996 were $4.78 million. Our revenue projections indicate that debt payments can be met by the current rate structure. The effect will be that monies now going into other capital projects will be committed to debt service. 9 How are County rates set and regulated? How are Edgewater rates set and regulated? County rates are set by the County Council where customers are represented by their elected officials. Edgewater rates are set by the City Commission. Under state law, cities providing utility service outside their municipal boundaries are allowed a 25% surcharge on their in -city rates without a public hearing on the out of city rates. With a public hearing, the surcharge may be up to 50 %. The Public Service Commission (PSC) which regulated Indian River Utilities is an appointed state agency which regulates privately operated utilities. Its jurisdiction ended with public ownership of the system. • 10 Why the discrepancy between what the City of Edgewater says it has for capacity and what the County says? Why hasn't the County talked to Edgewater about this project? When the County began planning this project in 1989 it contacted Edgewater regarding any interest in a joint venture. The City was not interested at that time and was focused on growth to the west. When the City indicated last year that it had treatment capacity to offer, the County found that the combined projected flows for City and County customers in the year 2000 would exhaust the City's permitted capacity. In a meeting with City officials last September, the City was anticipating making a request to have its permitted plant capacity rerated. It was mutually agreed at that time that the County should pursue its plan as the City had no capacity it could commit and did not know what capacity, if any , might be approved. Final approval of that application is pending for an additional .5 mgd capacity. The County's planned initial capacity of .6 mgd is based on the build out of the existing communities in the area. The expandable capacity of 1.2 mgd is for growth anticipated in the area when service is available. 11 What would the difference in project costs be using the Edgewater facility? The County has requested Edgewater's proposal to serve the unincorporated area and include all project elements including the collection /transmission and disposal. Both project costs and, more importantly, customer costs will be compared. 12 Is the proposed plant as technologically advanced as the Edgewater facility? Edgewater operates an Advanced Wastewater Treatment (AWT) plant and treats effluent to the tertiary level. This level of treatment is required because effluent is discharged to the Indian River. The County plan is also an AWT facility but will be operated at the advanced secondary level because the effluent will be used for irrigation. The nutrients left in the reuse water are beneficial for plants. Plus it costs less to operate at the secondary vs.tertiary level. 13 Why is discharge to the Indian River a problem? Protecting the waters of the Indian River Lagoon from contamination is the basis for the Indian River Lagoon Act and the County's no discharge plan for disposal. Even at high levels of treatment, wastewater effluent is inconsistent with the saline ecosystems found in the river. These ecosystems are particularly important for the neighboring shellfish beds. 14 Why is the County looking to buy orange groves? Orange grove irrigation offers the most efficient and economical means to dispose of treated effluent. In particular, areas with sandy soils are effective for percolation of the reuse water. The County originally sought to lease groves in the area for reuse disposal. The purchase option was suggested by a grove owner with significant holdings. Negotiations are ongoing. The grove operation would involve private management of the groves under a contract. Revenues would become part of the utility system revenues. 15 Will using reuse water for irrigation harm private potable water wells in the area? There will not be any harm to wells in the area. Standards for reuse water are defined based on how it will be used. It is common to find reuse water on golf courses and increasingly in residential areas. Also, there are wellhead protection standards which define and limit activities. 16 Why did the plant location change? The original plant location near Ariel Road and Beacon Light Road was changed when the option to purchase a larger land area offered sites closer to the areas being served with more right of way available to run the transmission line. The planned plant site is 2000 ft from the nearest property line and 2200 ft from the nearest residence. 17 Will reuse water be available for residential customers? Eventually. Phase I of the County project is focused on grove disposal because of the need for quantity. Getting reuse water to those communities that are interested in reuse for irrigation is planned. 18 What would rates be if Edgewater were the utility provider? The City is making this determination. A cost comparison of Edgewater rates with the County's general rates is attached. As noted above, surcharges are applied to out of City customers. Current out of city customers pay a 25% surcharge. 19 Why have rates gone up since the County took over Indian River Utilities? The County purchase of Indian River Utilities occurred after a substantial rate increase was approved by the PSC. The County committed that it would use those rates for a year and has not made any changes since the acquisition. 20 What will happen to rates at Hacienda del Rio in July? We have not yet figured out how to align Hacienda rates with the rest of our structure. Hacienda rates have lower availability rates but higher flow rates. We will be looking for a way to align the rates with minimal impact on the customers. Incremental changes are an option. 21 Will l have to annex to the City of Edgewater if they were the utility provider? Annexation of a contiguous area where utility service is provided may be required. 22 What will happen to the wastewater treatment plant now operating at Hacienda del Rio? The plant will be taken off line when regional services are available. The property is leased by the County and will revert to the owner for development. 23 Why did the County buy Indian River Utilities? What was the basis for the price paid? The County bought Indian River Utilities both for its revenue (customer) base and for its facilities. Its value was based primarily on the calculation of its revenue potential. The good condition of its facilities did not detract from this value. It was always intended that the wastewater plant would be eliminated when regional service was available. The plant site remains in private ownership and will be used for residential lots when the plant is removed.
