Water Plant Improvements - Water Plant #3 and Amendment to Consulting Engineering
Services for WW Improvements:
Terry Zaudtke explained in his letter to Mr. Rozansky he discussed the history of
why the City needs additional wells and additional high service pumping in Water
Plant No.3. He also stated that Water Plant No. 2 should also be slated for
additional improvements. One of the things he wanted to discuss with the Commission
this evening was broadening this scope to include Water Plant No.2.
He said the weekend before last there was a severe problem with the system. There
were complaints of low pressure throughout the distribution system and both the
plants were operating at maximum capacity and the storage tanks were being drawn
down while trying to supply that capacity and the wells were not able to replenish
it.
Mr. Conklin explained there is really only one time
hit maximum water use and its late April or in May.

Mr. Conklin said he wouldn't recommend building more plants to meet the needs of the
City, but improving Water Plants 2 and 3 could be improved to meet the needs for a
long, long time. More storage could be added, more wells and more high service
pumps, and this would be cheaper than building new plants.
City Manager Richard Rozansky explained the Commission had already approved this
improvement during the bond issue as part of the program, and now we just want to
go ahead with the Commission's concurrence.
This will be on the Agenda for the Commission Meeting on May 13th for approval of
the Engineering Agreement.
Amendment to Consulting Engineering Services for WW Improvements:
Mr. Terry Zaudtke explained this amendment is to continue the engineering for
preliminary and final design for the grants program. He said the City has been
elevated to the fundable portion. Discussion followed. This will be on the
Agenda for the Commission Meeting also.

Briley, Wild & Associates, Inc. Consulting Engineers & Planners, were represented
by Debbie Berner, Bob Thaxon, Tim Ab1ett and Linda Lester. They introduced their
system to the Commission. The Commission asked for a cost estimate for maps on
zoning, street names, industrial areas, lots, water hydrant locations, water systems
sewer systems, easements (optional), recreational areas, and city boundaries.
Letter - Gary Lazar reference development/capacity:
Mr. Gary Lazar was issued a building permit approximately 6 months ago. He has a
developer's agreement with the City for 17,000 gpd sewer capacity and 25,000 gpd
of water. A Special Exception had already been granted on the property for 80 units.
Gary Lazar said he needed something in writing from the City stating his building
permit is good for the total 80 units,and he wanted clarification as to what they
could do either apartments or condominiums.
Manager Rozansky said there were two things holding up the ponds, one was moving:the
gas main and the other is sodding and the grading of the ponds. Discussion followed
on the problems of moving the gas main.
The City Attorney is to send a letter to Florida Public Utilities to move the gas
main. The City Manager is to send a letter to Mr. Lazar that the Commission
had no objection to condominiums being built there.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:55 p. m.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary T. Norton,
City Clerk
