Mr. Pitiak requested City Council to table the matter until a workshop for submittal of further information. Joe Morozowski, 3426 Heather Way Lane, Sebastian concurred with the request to table. The City Manager said City Council has the ability to extend the ten minute time limit and pointed out that staff has met with Mr. Pitiak.

Inquiries were made as to whether there was validity to Mr. Pitiak's comment regarding the franchise agreement.

The Utilities Director and the City Manager addressed the issue. TAPE I - SIDE II (7:51 pm.) The Finance Director noted, regardless of city Council action on the rates, that the city will be billed for the surcharge by Indian River County in accordance with the takeover agreement.
