Subject: Storm Water Utility Servlce.(Tentative genda Items for the March 7,
1996 Council Meeting)
Mr. Patrick High of Gee & Jenson Engineering., Inc. and I will be attending a
meeting Monday, March 4, 1996, at 10:00 A.M. with representatives of the Palm Beach
County Property Appraiser's Office and Palm Beach County Department of Information
System Services. The purpose of the meeting is to determine if the Department of
Information System Services can provide us with data processing services for
electronic media for -the=-proposed 'Storm-Water—Utility—Service—non-ad valorem --- - -- --
assessments that is compatible with the property appraiser's tax roll electronic media. •
I am hopeful that our request for billing services can be accommodated by ISS;
however, until we receive such confirmation, it would be premature to request interlocal -
agreement authorizations from Council. Should you decide to place these items on the
March 7, 1996 Agenda, copies of,agreements that will be made with the Palm Beach
County Property and Tax Collector are attached. I will provide you with a Palm Beach
County ISS agreement the afternoon of March 7, 1996, provided our meeting is
successful. -
Respectfully submitted.
