VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA • Post Office Box 3273 • 357 Tequesta Drive Ape Tequesta,Florida 33469-0273 • (407)575-6200 •(4, FAX:(407)575-6203 cp CO MEMORANDUM TO: Village Council FROM: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager / 7 DATE: April 3, 1991 SUBJECT: Update on Matters Related to Martin County; Agenda Item The Connector Road, Tequesta Park and Water Surcharge issues, as they relate to Martin County, are periodically discussed. It is timely to discuss these issues since they are in some ways inter- related. Attached are three (3 ) separate reports, on the status of each issue. A summary of each is as follows: o Connector Road: This project appears in both the Martin Comprehensive Plan and the Martin County Five-Year Road Program for FY 91/92. The remaining obstacle is right-of-way acquisition of land leased by Girl Scouts. o Tequesta Park: _ The handling of an Interlocal Agreement which would cause Martin County to pay for its claim to eight (8) acres (19.5%) of Tequesta Park appears to be in the hands of the Martin County Park Department since we have heard nothing further from them since January of this year. The Village should formally request that this matter be fully concluded with the execution of an Interlocal Agreement sufficiently prior to the beginning of the next fiscal year so as to amend proposed budgets accordingly. Failing a timely and positive response from Martin County, the Village should avail itself. of any legal options. Recycled Paper • J a. To: Village Council RE: Update on Matters Related to Martin County April 5, 1991 Page 2 - o Water Surcharge: Martin County' s response to ,the Village Council requested "negotiations" is to suggest the Village have a rate study performed along with Jupiter and thereafter, present the findings and recommendations to the Martin County Board which may include a surcharge. Since it seems logical that Jupiter would conduct a rate study to review expenses by virtue of their new reverse osmosis plant, I would recommend that the current surcharge stay as is, that the current step rates remain the same and that our rates remain the same until the anticipated Jupiter rate study is completed to 'allow us to fully gauge the impact, if any, upon the Tequesta Water Department. i would recommend that to help effect further conservation that the current residential step rates be made applicable to commercial accounts as soon as such an Ordinance amendment can be adopted.
