1. Presentation by Earl Masteller
Earl Masteller, Masteller and Moler, Inc., project engineers for the
water project, gave a brief presentation on the Riverfront Water
Project, citing his certification to the City Council that each property
assessed will benefit in an amount greater than the amount of
assessment. (See Masteller and Haniford certification letters
distributed by the City Manager attached).
2. Mayor Opens Hearing
Mayor Firtion opened the hearing at 7:59 p.m.
3. Testimolly from Affected Property Owners
Ruth Sullivan, 1215 Indian River Drive, Sebastian, President of the
Indian River Drive Property Owners Association, inquired why the
project area did not include properties west to raikoad tracks. Mr.
Masteller responded that area may be included in a future project
and that not including it did not determine a greater or lesser
assessment for those properties in the assessment area. Mrs.
Sullivan stated her well water was "excellent". Mr. Masteller
responded that well water quality can change quickly.

Riverfront Water Project
City of Sebastian, Florida
Dear Mayor & Council:
As the Professional Project Engineer for the referenced project, it is my professional opinion and I
hereby certify that the benefit to each property exceeds the amount of the assessment to each
property impacted by the project. The above statement is based on the following factors:
1. Many of the existing wells in the project area produce water which is not safe for public
drinking and does not meet water quality standards. The central public water supply
system being funded from the project assessment program provides a dependable and
safe supply of public water which meets public drinking water standards.
2. The water system serving the project area provides public fire hydrants which aid in fire
protection and reduces insurance costs to the properties impacted by the project.
3. A safe and dependable public drinking water supply to the area adjacent to the Indian
River will promote valuable and quality commercial growth and is an important and
essential infrastructure element.
Respectfully submitted,

RIVERFRONT WATER PROJECT ASSESSMENTS
Dear Mayor and Members of the Cit3.' Council
I have exmnined the parcels m~d the assessments against these parcels and in mv professional judgment the
benefits derived from the Riverfront Water Project outweigh the amount of the assessments.
Specifically the project will correct thc following shortfalls currently present in the area:
the provision of a central public water supply would provide a dependable and safe supply of public
water which will meet drinking water standards: and.
a central water system will provide public fire hydrants which would aid in fire protection: and.
The provision of a safe and dependable public drinking water supply to the area will promote economic
growth.
While these, along with other unspecified ecological and envirom~ental factors, are difficult to place an
objective financial value on. I mn confident they surpass the costs.
Sincerely,
Finance Director
