VILLAGE COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING MINUTES
JULY 7, 1988
I. The Tequesta Village Council held a Workshop Meeting at
the Village Hall, 357 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida, on
Thursday, July 7, 1988, to review the proposed budget for
the Water Department for Fiscal Year 1989. The meeting was
called to order at 9:00 A.M. by Mayor Ron T. Mackail and a
roll call was taken by the Village Clerk. Councilmembers
present were: Ron T. Mackail, Mayor; Edward C. Howell,
Vice-Mayor; William E. Burckart and Earl L. Collings.
Member Capretta was excused from the meeting. He
previously informed Council he would be out of town during
the first two weeks of July on vacation. Village Officials
present were: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager; Wendy
K. Harrison, Administrative Assistant; Thomas C. Hall,
Water System Manager; and Bill C. Kascavelis, Finance
• Director/Clerk.
II. The Village Manager reviewed the proposed Water Department
Operating and Capital Outlay Budget for Fiscal Year '89 and
presented a slide presentation showing current water
department facilities and the sites for the proposed Water
Treatment Plant Expansion and Centralized Garage facility.
Mr. Bradford noted that revenues anticipated for fiscal
year '89 were 51,691,500. a 4 percent increase over
revenues anticipated for Fiscal Year 1988, which amounted
to $1,621,500. Total Operating Expenditures for Fiscal
Year '89 totaled a 51,219,066. compared to the previous
year Operating Expenditures in the amount of $1,058,905, a
15 percent increase. Mr. Bradford noted that the increase
in Operating Expenditures was attributed, primarily to the
personal service accounts within the Pumping and Storage
Division of the Water Department as a result of the
addition of two (2) treatment plant operators, which will
be required upon completion of the current treatment plant
expansion. Said expansion will increase the treatment plant
pumping capacity from the current 1.8 M.G. per day total
pumping to 2.7 M.G. per day capacity.
The proposed budget for the Pumping and Storage Division of
the Water Department for Fiscal Year '89 is 5800,527.
compared to $657,905. for Fiscal Year '88, an increase of
22 percent attributed primarily to the addition of two (2)
new treatment plant operators.

During the budgetary review, Council discussed various
details of the budget presentation and upon completion of

Village Manager and staff should review the possibility of
implementing a surcharge for non Village water users, or
the possibility of increasing the water rates and providing
a discount to Village users to offset the utilities service
tax being paid by Tequesta residents, which was being
avoided by non incorporated users of the system.
