Present were: Mayor Abby Brennan, Vice Mayor Vince Arena, Council Member Steve Okun, Council Member Tom Paterno and Council Member Frank D'Ambra. APPROVALO�AGENDA MOTION: Vice Mayor Arena moved approval of the agenda; seconded by Council Member D'Ambra; motion carried unanimously 5-0. 1, Upd�it� on Juqiter Inlet Colony Development regarding th� Utilities Infrastructure Manager Couzzo noted that JIC (Jupiter Inlet Colony) was comfortable with $1.425 million, but resistant to the cap. Council Member D'Ambra felt they would not want the costs to fall back on their residents and Tequesta's risks were low. Manager Couzzo stated the project was not complicated and Sam Heady, Deputy Director, Utilities would be involved. Mr. Heady commented that Tequesta was on the clean side of the dig and first in the process which would last approximately nine months. Manager Couzzo offered encouragement based on established engineer and construction figures, and noted that knowledgeable persons would be involved, as well as himself when needed. He reminded Council that the audit factor was also available to Tequesta and Council would be informed of any large or unexpected items through a special meeting. Mayor Brennan expressed her support based on the Manager's summary. Council Member D'Ambra felt the deal made sense; future costs would most likely be much more if Tequesta did not join forces with JIC, and JIC could do the project without Tequesta's involvement. Council Member D'Ambra left the meeting at 8:40 a.m. Council Member Paterno voiced his feelings that extra costs would be experienced by Tequesta since they were placed underneath JIC's pipes, with a deeper dig, and a potential risk factor of ten to fifteen percent. Mr. Heady responded that he believed the risk would be around five percent, and that JIC could not physically go under Tequesta's pipes. Mayor Brennan exclaimed her confidence that all involved would do their best. Attorney Davis added that the experts on the project were there to rely on.
