Authorization
REQUEST: Utility Department Advising the City Commission of the Proposal to
Acquire the Tuskawilla Trails Mobile Borne Park Water Distribution
System.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to update the City Commission on the
negotiations between staff and the owners of the Tuskawilla Trails Mobile
Home Park on the acquisition by the City of their water distribution system
and customer base.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
The Tuskawilla Trails Mobile Home Park (MHP) has their own potable
water treatment facility and water distribution system. Staffhas had numerous
discussions over the last several years with the owners of the Tuskawilla Trails
MHP about an emergency interconnect between their water distribution system
and the City's system. During the past year, DEP has mandated that repairs be
effectuated to their water plant which has continued to lean. The prohibitive cost
of these repairs caused the MHP owners to pursue whether the City would be
interested in acquiring the water distribution system and customer base.
Staff had CPH Engineers evaluate the system and prepare an assessment
report. No significant deficiencies were noted. Staff also retained PRMG to
perform a financial evaluation of the system. Generally, the value of the system is
offset by the costs of the interconnection and water connection fees.
