Fred Cioffi, 3425 Heather Way Lane, Sebastian
addressed city Council.
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. He further said staff
presented the resolution only as a clean up and for
inclusion of the $10 surcharge for Park Place in
accordance with the takeover agreement with Indian
River County.
The Utilities Director reviewed the rates in Exhibit
"A" to Resolution No. R-93-23 and explained the
surcharge and increase in the returned check charge.
Inquiries were made as to whether there was validity
to Mr. Pitiak's comment regarding the franchise
agreement. The City Attorney said he was not
prepared to address this tonight and suggested that
homeowners as a group could contract with an attorney
and pursue the matter.
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

City Council discussion followed. The city Manager
reiterated that the city is legally bound to collect
the surcharge and that hopefully through successful
negotiations with Nelson Hyatt, and without costly
legal costs, the city can attempt to do away with it.
Mr. Pitiak responded to questions by Mr. Freeland.

Pitiak to ask the City Attorney whether a public
hearing is required for adoption of this resolution.
The City Attorney said City Council has the ability
to adopt rates by resolution.
The City Clerk inquired whether this item can be
adopted since it was carried over from a workshop and
