98.1 PUBLIC COMMENTS AND REQUESTS
The following public comments were presented to the Commission:
• PRESENTATION BY CH2M HILL RE THE TOWN'S WASTEWATER CONVEYANCE
ANALYSIS.
Dave Schuman and Bevin Beaudet presented their analysis to the
Commission, explaining that with increasing residents i.e., The
Yacht club the No. 2 liftstation pump will not be able to handle
the increased wastewater flow, and when Toscana is completed
Station 1 & 3 will not be sufficient as well. It was recommended
that station 2 be improved at this time, a new pipe line be placed
from #3 station to #2, and replace stations #1 & 3 by year 2001.
Station #2 will be completed by Winter, 1998.
Mayor Voress stated that some of the work will be done in
conjunction with DOT's widening of AlA within the next several
years, and that DOT is willing to accommodate the Town's timeframe
for same.
SPRINT PROPOSAL RE INSTALLATION_OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT
Discussion centered on the location of where Sprint's lines would
run to access their equipment site behind the maintenance garage.
Building Official Bob Dawson and Earl Harvel stated that the ground
North of the Town Hall contained existing water and sewer lines,
and running sprint's lines along same could pose problems if
repairs were needed to existing lines. They suggested Sprint run
• their limes on the 10 foot FPL easement on the Grand Cay property,
which runs parallel to the Town's South boundary line.

Further discussion showed that an easement would need to be granted
to FPL from the South boundary North across Town property to
Sprint's location. The Commission did not prefer to offer such an
easement, therefore it was decided to let Sprint run their lines at
the North boundary. Mr. Harvel stated this would be fine, and
requested a working agreement with Sprint in the chance repair work
on either his or Sprint's part would ever be needed. Attorney
Sliney and Attorney Ciklin stated that this will be incorporated
into Sprint's agreement.
Attorney Sliney asked when the lump sum payment of $100,000 would
be made to the Town. Attorney Ciklin stated that if the Commission
approves the project on November 4, Sprint will submit plans right
away and pull a permit on November 5. They will then submit
subject payment to the Town no later than December 10.
Mayor Voress reminded Sprint that the water tank will be painted in
February or March and that a tarp will be placed over it and their
antennas.
Ad Hoc Committee
Ad Hoc Committee Chairman Victor P. Hadeed presented three
. recommendations from the Ad Hoc Committee to the Town Commission.
He stated that he felt the Committee and subject recommendations be
placed on hold for now until a new Town Manager is in place.
Mayor Voress announced the Special Town Commission Meeting which
will be held on November 4 at 9:00 a.m. to select the three top

Mayor Arlin G. Voress noted that the Town's 50th Anniversary was
approaching, and asked the Commission to give some thought as to
the type of celebration which could be planned. Mayor offered two
ideas, one being a dinner of which all residents would be invited
to; the other being a celebration over several days, with perhaps
something special each day i.e., artist's displays, historic
pictures display, exhibits of fire and police equipment, food
concession stands, etc. The Mayor felt March or April of 1999
would be an appropriate time, and suggested a committee be formed
of several people who could be responsible for pulling the
celebration together.
Mayor also asked that "things" slow down on the Boards and
Committees, of which the Commission agreed.
A letter was received from Jeff Norman re the tidle flushing
easement he is requesting. Mr. Norman stated that The South

with him, and he is placing his request on hold. Mr. Norman
thanked the Town for working with him in this regard.
