The Mayor called the meeting to order at 8 P.S.
Mr. Rehburg was called away on account o~ sickness in
his family.
Mr. Weaver spoke of the Brockway survey on the water system
and thought it would be well to check into the agreement with
gr. Brockway before telling Russell & Zxon to proceed with the
water system. He moved that that portion of his motion made
at the meeting of June l? from- the word "also" to the word
"action be rescinded. ~r. Oyer seconded. Notion carried.
It was stated that the purpose of this meeting is to solve
~ Field's problem in connection with the Board of Health~s
ruling that a sewerage system b$ installed before more homes ars
built in Rolling Green Ridge~ but that Mr. Dave Lee in Jackson-
ville is the man to be ir~o~med directly as he is the man who
m~st know~
Mr. Oyer moved the developer be requi~ed to pay the cost o£
all sewer mains and to turn them over at cost to the City when
required~ Any mains within the subdivision will be at the sub-
divider's expense. In no case would the City be required to
purchase the system back. A permit to be given to any person
wishing to install a treatment system on his l~nd to use any
dedicated R/W to install any recognised, approved sewe~ system, on
his own l~ud~ No subdivider must put in a sewer system unless
the City provides the treatment system to take care of it.
He further moved that the City permit Mr. ~i~'ld to install
a sewer system and treatment plant necessary to satisfy the State
Board of Health.
M~, Weaver said if M~. Field c~n ge~ approval that he-can go
in &Rd install sewage in Rolling Green 1st Division, and put in a
plant that can be tur~_~ed over to a pumping station it can be
used until the City gets a treatment plant to which it can be
connected.
~h~. Oyer said ~re Fields should be informed that the City
will not pay for the mains within his subdivision, and if he
puts them in he must pay for them himself. Any mains put in
will be paid for by the subdivider, and if they put in a small
treatment plant that should be taken into consideration and the
City should agree to take it over late~ to fit into our over~all
plan. He should ~e given some assurance that the City will
eventually take over to attach to our sy-stem~
~r. Weaver said that he, personally, is opposed to giving
a franehise as water and sewers have to be tied together according
to the best engineering and financial opinion.
He asked if a franchise is necessary if they put in a
sewer line and a primitive disposal idea ~ud dedicate the lines
to the City. They still have to pay the maintenance cos~ and
how can they with 2SO users if they cannot collect charges.
Until such tLme as the City connects it to its own plant, the sub~
divide~will be allowed to collect the charge,
~r, Griffith said the City could lease the disposal plant and,
during its operation, the City would levy against the users a
pro rata tax which will permit Mr. Field to still own the
system~
Mr. Brand said Mr. Field wants his franchise on the majo~
system~ he cannot put in a temporary system~
~lr. Oyer said it was his understanding that Mr. Field had
a temporary problem and that the City would go ahead and put in
a treatment plant within a reasonable time; that he is interested
in solving the temporary problem ~nd his question was ~ would we
re-buy the sy~te~
~ro Chadwell suggested leaving the plant matter until later,
and doing the Field business first, thus showing out intent.
~[r. Oyer said any collection station the City would be
responsible for, but for the mains themselves Mt.Field would have
to pay. This would show our intent, and this meeting was to
declare our intent.
~r. ~eaver again expressed ~mseLf as strictly opposed to
a franchise, because it tdes directly into the water system, and
does not want to lose control of the water system, which gives
us a profit°
he
After further discussion,
I~r. Oyer moved that any subdivider is given per~ission to
install sewer mains and sewer treatment facilities on sub~
division property and in dedicated R/I~~, all expense to be borne
by the subdivider. This is not a franchise. All systems must
be installed in accord with Russell &~Axon ~-hngineers~ report
and with State of Florida Sanitation Engineer. Any system~
installed cannot be removed or closed from ussrs located on
the main~. The City will-have the right at auy ti~e to purchase
the filter system or collection stations or treatment ~lant aZ a
value based upon an appraisal value~ which value will b$ based
on cost or value to an over-all system. The City will agree to
set a tax on users to pro rate cost of operationo Titls to
mains and systems will be conveyed-to City when City purchases
filter system, collection systems and treatment plant. Mr.
Chadwell seconded~ M®C.
Mr~ Brand said Mr. Field had givsn him instructions
to file an exclusion suit for the withdrawal of all Mr.
Field's holdings from the City should the City refuse to m~ke
what he considered a suitable agreement on the sewer proposition.
Mr~ 0yet moved that the City will accept Mr~ B~and~s
~oney for labor and material for the installation of water mains
in Rolling Green Ridge~$eacrest Division~ and a refunding agreement
will be entered into after completion of the system on the
basis of a re~a~nent of 50% of revenues collected from such
system. This motion is based on a previous agreement whe~ the
land was taken over into City 1L~its~ Mr. ~eaver seconded.
Motion carried.
Mr~ 0yet moved that Tuesday, July 9, at i P.M. be set
as the date for a hearing on Arden Park C.W.Copps street
assessments. Mr~ Weaver seconded~ Motion carried.
