HomeMy WebLinkAbout1993 Farmers Home Administration ApplicationM 2 M 0 R A N D V M DATE: October 13, 1993 TO: Hal Schmidt, Vice President, Hartman & Associates FROM: Richard Votapka, Utilities Director SUBJECT: Utility Acquisition - Farmers Home Administration Application Request for Environmental Information, Exhibit I The following is an update of the replacement verbiage for the paragraphs specified below in the application as I had originally sent to you on April 21, 1993: Page 1, Paragraph II: Central potable water service for the City of Sebastian is currently provided by General Development Utilities (GDU) which presently holds a franchise agreement for the majority of the City. The notable exception is the Park Place/Palm Lake Club service area (formerly known as the Village of Lake Dolores) in which the City of Sebastian currently operates the water distribution and sewer collection systems. The Park Place water treatment plant presently provides potable water to 175 customers in Park Place Mobile Home Park and to 25 customers in Palm Lake Club, a mobile home park to the north of Park Place. Park Place, a phased project, has the potential to develop a total of 648 residential units. Palm Lake Club has the potential development of 136 residences. The Park Place water treatment plant, although owned by the City of Sebastian, had been previously operated by Indian River County. As of May 1, 1993, the City of Sebastian assumed operation for the entire water system serving both the Park Place and Palm Lake Club developments. The GDU water utility system provides potable water to its customers from a water treatment plant (WTP) located on Filbert Street. Although the franchise area covers all of the 17 units of Sebastian Highlands, the existing service area only includes all of Units 7, 90 129 14, and 15 and portions of Units 8. 10, 119 16, and 17. All total there are approximately 13,000 platted lots in all of the 17 units. Presently, there are 1242 customers being served. The City's goal is to provide public water service to all of the X./ Page 2 of 2 October 13, 1993 Memorandum to Hal Schmidt homes within Units 1 - 17 of the Sebastian Highlands as soon as possible to eliminate existing individual shallow wells on quarter acre homesites having septic tanks. On Page 5, the response to Item 2 should be changed to the following: The existing water and sewer facilities currently under the ownership of General Development Utilities will be transferred to the City of Sebastian upon a successful closing scheduled for November 30, 1993. Once the City owns the GDU system, it plans to implement an ammoniation system at the water treatment plant to eliminate the trihalomethane problem that presently exists, construct sludge stabilization facilities at the wastewater treatment facility, extend a water main to the Park Place system to eliminate the Park Place water treatment plant, construct a force main from the County's existing lift station for Park Place to reroute the flow to the City's wastewater (old GDU) treatment plant, and make hydraulic improvements to the water distribution system to interconnect and loop existing water mains. On Page 5, the response to Item 13 should be revised as follows: Indian River County assigned its rights to the potable water system and gravity sewer collection system in Park Place and Palm Lake Club to the City of Sebastian through an Interlocal Agreement dated April 21, 1992. During the process of formulating the agreement there was a considerable amount of press coverage as a result of the meetings and correspondence involved between the City of Sebastian and Indian River County. A public hearing was held by both the Sebastian City Council and the Indian River County Board of Commissioners prior to the adoption of the Interlocal Agreement by both governmental bodies. A formal hearing was conducted in accordance with Florida Statute 180.301 on September 15, 1993 for the purpose of acquiring the General Development Utility water and wastewater systems. The Sebastian City Council concluded the Public Hearing at its September 29, 1993 meeting and voted to purchase the GDU Sebastian Highlands Water and Wastewater Systems.

FLORIDA 32399-0001 t Pq P# MAR 26 1993 RE: Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities - Sebastian, Indian River County, Florida SAI: FL9302030169C Dear Mr. ReVoir: The Florida State Clearinghouse, pursuant to Presidential Executive Order 12372, Gubernatorial Executive Order 83-150, the Coastal Zone Management Act Reauthorization Amendments of 1990 and the National Environmental Policy Act, has coordinated a review of the above referenced project. Pursuant to Presidential Executive Order 12372, the project will be in accord with State plans, programs, procedures and objectives when consideration is given to and action taken on the enclosed comments and requirements of our reviewing agencies. The Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) indicates that permits may be required prior to start of construction. Sound development practices should be maintained during all phases of construction and early coordination with DER's district office in the project area may help to eliminate problems in the permitting process. Please refer to the enclosed DER comments. We have reviewed the referenced application for financial assistance and do not object to the project based on the information available at this time. Therefore, the project, at this stage, is consistent with the Florida Coastal Management Program. However, our reviewing agencies have identified several issues which cannot be addressed by the applicant until the project proceeds to later stages of design and permitting. All subsequent funding decisions for this project will be reviewed for consistency by the State. The final consistency review of this project will be the State's permitting review, if applicable. We strongly encourage you to resolve the identified concerns with permitting agencies through early, pre -application coordination. Mr. Gary 1. ReVoir H Page Two Please attach a copy of this letter and any enclosures to your application facesheet or cover form and forward to the federal funding agency. (If applicable, enter the State Application Identifier (SAI) number, shown above, in box 3A of Standard Form 424 or where appropriate on other cover form.) This action will assure the federal agency of your compliance with Florida's review requirements and reduce the chance of unnecessary delays in processing your application by the federal agency.

CITY OF SEBASTIAN UTILITY ACQUISITION FARMERS HOME ADNM41STRATION APPLICATION REQUEST FOR ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION Project Description The purpose of this project is to acquire the General Development Utilities, Inc. (GDU) - Sebastian Highlands Division. In 1981, the City of Sebastian granted GDU the franchise to provide water and sewer services to the citizens of Sebastian. Moreover, the City of Sebastian has the fundamental obligation to ensure that adequate water and sewer services are either provided by the City or delegated to another entity. The water and sewer service area is illustrated in Figure 1. Central potable water service for the City of Sebastian is provided by GDU, which presently holds a franchise agreement for a majority of the City, with the exception of the Lake Delores service area. The GDU water utility system provides potable water to its customers from a water treatment plant (WTP) located on Filbert Street. The existing service area for the Sebastian Highlands WTP includes units 7, 9, 12, 14, 15 and portions of units 8, 10, 11, 16 and 17. The GDU Sebastian Highlands WTP is a lime softening, filtration and disinfection facility with a design capacity of 671,000 gpd. The WTP, since September, 1988, has been providing an average daily finished water demand of approximately 286,900 gpd, and the daily demand has ranged from 185,000 gpd to 512,000 gpd. During the last three (3) months, the average daily finished water demand was approximately 302,000 gpd. The raw water quality that is pumped to the Sebastian Highlands WTP is considered good, based on data obtained from the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER) and the Indian River County Health Department (IRCHD). Of the data analyzed, the two (2) raw water supply wells did not violate any of the water quality standards that were in effect at the time of sampling. However, it should be noted that GDU has been cited on numerous occasions for failure to monitor the raw water quality, as well as other monitoring requirements (i.e., monthly microbiological, sodium, corrosivity, etc.). Moreover, GDU was cited on July 11, 1989, for failure to monitor the drinking water supply in accordance with Chapter 17-550, Drinking Water Standards, Monitoring and Reporting, of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The finished water provided to the customers by the Sebastian Highlands WTP considered good quality product. However, there have been some complaints from customers regarding the finished water quality. On October 16, 1990, the IRCHD investigated the complaint, and GMcl/C-4/Sebastin.gjr HAI X92-023.00 1 samples were taken for bacteria, copper, chlorine residual and total trihalomethanes (ITIS. As a result, the samples analyzed for microbiological parameters indicated that the taps inside the residence exceeded the requirements in Chapter 17-550; however, the outside tap did not violate this standard. The copper concentration exceeded the maximum contaminant level (MCL) set by Chapter 17-550 and was reported to be 0.17 mg/l at the kitchen sink and 3.15 mg/l in the bathroom. Finally, the T IUM concentration violated the MCL level set by Chapter 17-550 and was reported to be 0.343 mg/l (outside residence) and 0.40 mg/l (inside residence). The free chlorine concentrations of all samples resulted in a level of greater than 1.0 mg/1. These problems are not alarming, since GDU, to the best of our knowledge, does not practice TTHM control the copper problems could be resolved by modifying the operation of the WTP and the bacteria concentrations appear to be a problem resulting from within the house rather than from the system. The Sebastian Highlands wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is located at the west end of the Baily Drive extension. The City of Sebastian is served by GDU under an exclusive franchise agreement. Currently, the wastewater service is provided to relatively few customers, which comprises the population in units 9, 16 and 17 of the development. Illustrated in Figure 1 is the current wastewater service area of the Sebastian Highlands WWTP. The Sebastian Highlands WWTP is an extended aeration activated sludge treatment process with a design capacity of 300,000 gpd; however, the effluent disposal system (percolation ponds) have a permitted disposal capacity of 142,000 gpd. Since January, 1988, the influent wastewater flow to this WWTP has averaged approximately 81,800 gpd and ranged from 22,000 gpd to 186,000 gpd. During the last three (3) months, the influent flow averaged approximately 113,000 gpd, with a maximum daily flow of approximately 136,000 gpd. There are numerous positive impacts on the utility customers resulting from the purchase by the City of the GDU-Sebastian Highlands Division water and wastewater system assets and are summarized as follows: 1) The purchase will be the first step in creating a unified water and wastewater system throughout the City of Sebastian. In accordance, growth management and master planning efforts can address and correct system deficiencies in an effective and economical manner. As a result, the water and wastewater services provided to the customers can significantly improve. 2) Regulatory decisions concerning the water and wastewater facilities will be made by local representatives of the customers, who will be more aware of local requirements and will be sensitive to the needs of the customers. 3) Public sewer system ownership most likely would ensure better system management. GDU is a business operating for profit. Because they are operating for profit some maintenance and facilities could suffer. This "bottom- GJR/cl/C-4/Sebastin. gjr HAI #92-023.00 2 line" management policy has resulted in a poor maintenance program. As a result, facilities are typically not fixed until they are broken. When repairs are made they are in the least expensive manner and at minimum standards. Under City ownership, such maintenance and management policies will not be continued. The City is limited in how far it can govern how a private utility is operated and maintained. If acquired, however, all standards can be upheld by the City, ensuring better service to the community. 4) Management policies would be more beneficial to the community under City ownership. If the City acquires the water and wastewater system, improvements can be made tax free and the need for profit in rate collection eliminated. It is proposed that the City operates the utility as a "user pays" enterprise fund, so that no general tax monies are used for its purchase or operation. Existing users will be required to share the financial burden of existing needed improvements, and future users will pay for needed system expansion through connection fees. 5) The operation of the Sebastian water and wastewater system and the subsequent expansion of operations will be under the control of the City, and not subject to conflicting land development interests. 6) Substantial financial advantages will be available because of City -owned utility system is not subject to federal and state income taxes, or gross receipt taxes as privately owned utility systems. 7) Future capital improvements required for the continued efficient operation of the Sebastian water and wastewater system can be more economically financed by the City than by a private company through the use of municipal tax-free financing. 8) The City will be able to better control and correct negative environmental impacts and provide surface, groundwater and other environmental protection which will promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Sebastian. 9) Under the City ownership, the customers' water and wastewater monthly bills will be lower than the proposed GDU rates for this system. The negative impacts associated with the proposed utility acquisition are the following: 1) As owners of the system, the City would also assume a responsibility for operations and maintenance, which typically involves problems and complaints. GJWcl/C-4/Sebastin. gj r HAI #92-023.00 3 The City would also assume the liabilities involved in ownership and responsibility for rates and charges. 2) Future regulatory requirements and more stringent changes can ultimately result in unforeseen costly future capital investments. 3) Lack of expertise in utility management, which can be remedied in large part by the hiring of the present operational staff. The positive and negative impacts associated with the purchase of the GDU-Sebastian Highlands Division by the City are summarized in Table 1. REQUEST FOR ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION (1) Primary Beneficiaries Purpose: Identify any existing businesses or major developments that will benefit from the proposal, and those which will expand or locate in the area because of the project. These businesses or major developments hereafter will be referred to as primary beneficiaries. Response: Since this project does not consist of any new facilities, specific primary beneficiaries cannot be identified at this time. (2) Area Description Purpose: Describe the size, terrain and present land uses as well as the adjacent land uses of the areas to be affected. These areas include the site(s) of construction or project activities, adjacent areas affected by the primary beneficiaries. For each box checked "Yes" in item 3, describe the nature of the effect on the resource. If one or more of the boxes 17 through 22 is checked "Yes" or "Unknown", contact FMHA for instructions relating to the requirements imposed by the Floodplain Management and Wetland Protection Executive Orders. Attach as Exhibit II the following: 1) a U.S. geological Survey '15 minute" topographic map which clearly delineates the area and the location of the project elements; 2) the Federal Emergency Management Administration's floodplain map(s). GJWcl/C-4/Sebastin. gj r HAI #92-023.00 4 Response: Due to the fact that no new facilities are being constructed, there will be no change in the current conditions affecting any of the resources noted in item 3. The facilities have been in place for several years and are merely going to be operating under a different organization. (13) Public Reaction Purpose: Describe any objections which have been made to the project. If a public hearing has been held, attach a copy of the transcript as Exhibit IV. If not, certify that a hearing was not held. Indicate any other evidence of the community's awareness of the project such as through newspaper articles or public notification. Response: Through discussion with the Deputy City Clerk and the City Manager, it was determined that a formal hearing has not yet occurred. (15) Mitigation Measures Purpose: Describe any measures which will be taken to avoid or mitigate any adverse environmental impacts associated with the project. Response: As noted previously, this project does not consist of constructing any new facilities. This project consists of the purchase of an existing utility system and subsequent upgrades to some of the facilities, if needed. Since the specific improvements are not known at this time, specific mitigation procedures can not be described. (16) Permits Purpose: Identify any permits of an environmental nature which are needed for the project. Indicate the status of obtaining each such permit and attach as Exhibit any that have been received. Response: Since the facilities to be purchased are existing and currently operating, it is assumed that they all have the required FDER and Water Management permits as required. The permits will need to have the ownership title transferred.

CITY OF SEBASTIAN UTILITY ACQUISITION FARMERS HOME ADMINISTRATION APPLICATION REQUEST FOR ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION Project Description The purpose of this project is to acquire the General Development Utilities, Inc. (GDU) - Sebastian Highlands Division. In 1981, the City of Sebastian granted GDU the franchise to provide water and sewer services to the citizens of Sebastian. Moreover, the City of Sebastian has the fundamental obligation to ensure that adequate water and sewer services are either provided by the City or delegated to another entity. The water and sewer service area is illustrated in Figure 1. Central potable water service for the City of Sebastian is currently provided by GDU which presently holds a franchise agreement for the majority of the City. The notable exception is the Park Place/Palm Lake Club service area, (formerly known as the Villages of Lake Dolores), in which the City of Sebastian presently operates the distribution and sewer collection systems. The Park Place water treatment plant currently provides potable water to 175 customers in Park Place Mobile Home Park and to 25 customers in Palm Lake Club, a mobile home park to the north of Park Place. Park Place, a phased project, has the potential to develop a total of 648 residential units. Palm Lake Club has the potential development of 136 residences. The Park Place water treatment plant, although owned by the City of Sebastian, has been previously operated by Indian River County. As of May 1, 1993, the City of Sebastian assumed operation for the entire water system serving both the Park Place and Palm Lake Club developments. The GDU water utility system provides potable water to its customers from a water treatment plant (WTP) located on Filbert Street. Although the franchise area covers all of the 17 units of Sebastian Highlands, the existing service area only includes all of Units 7, 9, 12, 14, and 15 and portions of Units 8, 10, 11, 16, and 17. All total, there are 13,000 platted lots in all of the 17 units. Presently, there are approximately 1,242 customers being served. The City's goal is to provide public water service to all of the homes within Unit 1 - 17 of the Sebastian Highlands as soon as possible to eliminate individual shallow wells on quarter acre homesites having septic tanks. The GDU Sebastian Highlands WTP is a lime softening, filtration and disinfection facility with a design capacity of 671,000 gpd. The WTP, since September, 1988, has been providing an average daily finished water demand of approximately 286,900 gpd, and the daily demand has GJR/cl/jb/C-4/Sebastin.gjr HAI #92-023.00 ranged from 185,000 gpd to 512,000 gpd. During the last three (3) months, the average daily finished water demand was approximately 302,000 gpd. The raw water quality that is pumped to the Sebastian Highlands WTP is considered good, based on data obtained from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the Indian River County Health Department (IRCHD). Of the data analyzed, the two (2) raw water supply wells did not violate any of the water quality standards that were in effect at the time of sampling. However, it should be noted that GDU has been cited on numerous occasions for failure to monitor the raw water quality, as well as other monitoring requirements (i.e., monthly microbiological, sodium, corrosivity, etc.). Moreover, GDU was cited on July 11, 1989, for failure to monitor the drinking water supply in accordance with Chapter 17-550, Drinking Water Standards, Monitoring and Reporting, of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The finished water provided to the customers by the Sebastian Highlands WTP is considered a good quality product. However, there have been some complaints from customers regarding the finished water quality. On October 16, 1990, the IRCHD investigated a complaint, and samples were taken for bacteria, copper, chlorine residual and total trihalomethanes (ITE M). As a result, the samples analyzed for microbiological parameters indicated that the taps inside the residence exceeded the requirements in Chapter 17-550; however, the outside tap did not violate this standard. The copper concentration exceeded the maximum contaminant level (MCL) set by Chapter 17-550 and was reported to be 0.17 mg/1 at the kitchen sink and 3.15 mg/l in the bathroom. Finally, the TTHM concentration violated the MCL level set by Chapter 17-550 and was reported to be 0.343 mg/l (outside residence) and 0.40 mg/1 (inside residence). The free chlorine concentrations of all samples resulted in a level of greater than 1.0 mg/1. These problems are not alarming, since GDU, to the best of our knowledge, does not practice ITEM control. GDU is not required to initiate T I HM control because it serves less than 10,000 residents with water and is acting in accordance with EPA Standards. The copper problems could be resolved by modifying the operation of the WTP and the bacteria concentrations appear to be a problem resulting from within the house rather than from the system. The Sebastian Lakes Condominiums Association is currently providing its own wastewater treatment and effluent disposal through its on-site wastewater treatment plant and percolation ponds. This facility serves only the Sebastian Lakes development, which consists of 70 units. The Sebastian Highlands wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is located at the west end of the Bailey Drive extension. The City of Sebastian is served by GDU under an exclusive franchise agreement. Currently, the wastewater service is provided to 569 customers, which comprises the population in units 9, 16 and 17 of the development. Illustrated in Figure 1 is the current wastewater service area of the Sebastian Highlands WWTP. The Sebastian Highlands WWTP is an extended aeration, activated sludge treatment process with a design capacity of 300,000 gpd; however, the effluent disposal system (percolation ponds) have a permitted disposal capacity of 142,000 gpd. Since January, 1988, the influent wastewater flow to this WWTP has averaged approximately 81,800 gpd and ranged from GJR/cl/jb/C-4/Sebastin.gjr HAI #92-023.00 2 22,000 gpd to 186,000 gpd. During the last three (3) months, the influent flow averaged approximately 113,000 gpd, with a maximum daily flow of approximately 136,000 gpd. There are numerous positive impacts on the utility customers resulting from the purchase by the City of the GDU-Sebastian Highlands Division water and wastewater system assets and are summarized as follows: 1) The purchase will be the first step in creating a unified water and wastewater system throughout the City of Sebastian. In accordance, growth management and master planning efforts can address and correct system deficiencies in an effective and economical manner. As a result, the water and wastewater services provided to the customers can significantly improve. 2) Regulatory decisions concerning the water and wastewater facilities will be made by local representatives of the customers, who will be more aware of local requirements and will be sensitive to the needs of the customers. 3) Public sewer system ownership most likely would ensure better system management. GDU is a business operating for profit. Because they are operating for profit some maintenance and facilities could suffer. This "bottom- line" management policy has resulted in a poor maintenance program. As a result, facilities are typically not fixed until they are broken. When repairs are made they are in the least expensive manner and at minimum standards. Under City ownership, such maintenance and management policies will not be continued. The City is limited in how far it can govern how a private utility is operated and maintained. If acquired, however, all standards can be upheld by the City, ensuring better service to the community. 4) Management policies would be more beneficial to the community under City ownership. If the City acquires the water and wastewater system, improvements can be made tax free and the need for profit in rate collection eliminated. It is proposed that the City operates the utility as a "user pays" enterprise fund, so that no general tax monies are used for its purchase or operation. Existing users will be required to- share the financial burden of existing needed improvements, and future users will pay for needed system expansion through connection fees. 5) The operation of the Sebastian water and wastewater system and the subsequent - expansion of operations will be under the control of the City, and not subject to conflicting land development interests. GJR/cl/jb/C-4/Sebastin.gjr HAI #92-023.00 3 6) Substantial financial advantages will be available because of City -owned utility system is not subject to federal and state income taxes, or gross receipt taxes as privately owned utility systems. 7) Future capital improvements required for the continued efficient operation of the Sebastian water and wastewater system can be more economically financed by the City than by a private company through the use of municipal tax-free financing. 8) The City will be able to better control and correct negative environmental impacts and provide surface, groundwater and other environmental protection which will promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Sebastian. 9) Under the City ownership, the customers' water and wastewater monthly bills will be lower than the proposed GDU rates for this system. The negative impacts associated with the proposed utility acquisition are the following: 1) As owners of the system, the City would also assume a responsibility for operations and maintenance, which typically involves problems and complaints. The City would also assume the liabilities involved in ownership and responsibility for rates and charges. 2) Future regulatory requirements and more stringent changes can ultimately result in unforeseen costly future capital investments. 3) Lack of expertise in utility management, which can be remedied in large part by the hiring of the present operational staff. The positive and negative impacts associated with the purchase of the GDU-Sebastian Highlands Division by the City are summarized in Table 1. REQUEST FOR ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION (1) Prim ary Beneficiaries Purpose: Identify any existing businesses or major developments that will benefit from the proposal, and those which will expand or locate in the area because of the project. These businesses or major developments hereafter will be referred to as primary beneficiaries. GJR/cl/j b/C-4/Sebastin. gj r HAI #92-023.00 4 Response: Since this project does not consist of any new facilities, specific primary beneficiaries cannot be identified at this time. (2) Area Description Purpose: Describe the size, terrain and present land uses as well as the adjacent land uses of the areas to be affected. These areas include the site(s) of construction or project activities, adjacent areas affected by the primary beneficiaries.

Response: The existing water and sewer facilities currently under the ownership of General Development Utilities will be transferred to the City of Sebastian upon a successful closing scheduled for November 30, 1993. Once the City owns the GDU system, it plans to install an ammoniation system to eliminate the trihalomethane problems that presently exists, construct sludge stabilization facilities at the wastewater treatment facility, extend a water main to the Park Place system to eliminate the Park Place Water Treatment Plant, increase the capacity of the percolation ponds at the existing GDU wastewater treatment plant to accommodate wastewater flow from Park Place and Palm Lake Club, construct a force main from the County's existing lift station for Park Place to reroute the flow to the City's wastewater (old GDU) treatment plant and make hydraulic improvements to the water distribution system to interconnect and loop existing water mains. (13) Public Reaction Purpose: Describe any objections which have been made to the project. If a public hearing has been held, attach a copy of the transcript as Exhibit IV. If not, certify that a hearing was not held. GJWcl/jb/C-4/Sebastin. gj r HAI #92-023.00 5 Indicate any other evidence of the community's awareness of the project such as through newspaper articles or public notification. Response: Indian River County assigned its rights to the potable water system and gravity sewage collection system in Park Place and Palm Lake Club to the City of Sebastian through an Interlocal Agreement dated April 21, 1992. During the process of formulating the agreement there was a considerable amount of press coverage as a result of the meetings and correspondence involved between the City of Sebastian and Indian River County. A public hearing was held by both the Sebastian City Council and the Indian River Board of Commissioners prior to the adoption of the interlocal agreement by both governmental bodies. A formal hearing will be conducted in accordance with Florida Statute 180.301 on September 15, 1993 for the purpose of acquiring the General Development Utility water and wastewater systems. The Sebastian City Council concluded the Public Hearing at its September 29, 1993 meeting and voted to purchase the GDU Sebastian Highlands Water and Wastewater Systems. (15) Mitigation Measures Purpose: Describe any measures which will be taken to avoid or mitigate any adverse environmental impacts associated with the project. Response: All anticipated water and sewer main improvements will be constructed within previously developed road rights-of-way. - Therefore, the improvements are not expected to impact any environmentally sensitive area. (16) Permits Purpose: Identify any permits of an environmental nature which are needed for the project. Indicate the status of obtaining each such permit and attach as ExhibitV any that have been received. Response: Since the facilities to be purchased are existing and currently operating, it is assumed that they all have the required FDEP and Water Management District permits as required. The permits will need to have the ownership title transferred. GJR/cl/jb/C-4/Sebastin. gj r HAI #92-023.00 6 (17) Other Federal Actiong Purpose: Identify other federal programs or actions which are either related to this project or located in the same geographical area and for which you are filing an application, have recently received approval, or have in the planning stages.

No, this project is for the acquisition of an existing utility and expansion of water and sewer services throughout an existing development. If Yes, please indicate which lands will be affected. FLOODPLAIN WETLANDS IMPORTANT FARMLANDS PRIME FOREST LANDS PRIME RANGELANDS City Official Date Date PURPOSE: This guide will provide FmHA with a general knowledge of what important land resources, if any, wi I 1 be affected by the proposed project. PN 930 (6-3-91) Project Description The purpose of this project is to acquire the General Development Utilities, Inc. (GDU) - Sebastian @ghlands Division. In 1981, the City of Sebastian -granted GDU the franchise to provide water and sewer services to the citizens of Sebastian. 4oreover, the City of Sebastian has the fundamental obligation to ensure that adequate water and sewer services are either provided by the City or delegated to another entity. The water and sewer service area is illustrated in Figure 1. Central potable water service for the City of Sebastian is provided by GDU, which presently holds a franchise agreement for a majority of the City, with the exception of the Lake Delores (Awk P►&ca� service area. The GDU water utility system provides potable water to its customers from a water treatment plant (WTP) located on Filbert Street. The existing service area for the Sebastian Highlands WTP includes units 7, 9, 12, 14, 15 and portions of units 8, 10, 11, 16 and 17. The GDU Sebastian Highlands WTP is a lime softening, filtration and disinfection facility with a design capacity of 671,000 gpd. The WTP, since September, 1988, has been providing an average daily finished water demand of approximately 286,900 gpd, and the daily demand has ranged from 185,000 gpd to 512,000 gpd. During the last three (3) months, the average daily finished water demand was approximately 302,000 gpd. The raw water quality that is pumped to the Sebastian Highlands WTP is considered good, based on data obtained from the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER) and the Indian River County health Department (IRCHD). Of the data analyzed, the two (2) raw water supply wells did not violate any of the water quality standards that were in effect at the time of sampling. However, it should be noted that GDU has been cited on numerous occasions for failure to monitor the raw water quality, as well as other monitoring requirements (i.e., monthly microbiological, sodium, corrosivity, etc.). Moreover, GDU was cited on July 11, 1989, for failure to monitor the drinking water supply in accordance with Chapter 17-550, Drinking Water Standards, Monitoring and Reporting, of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The finished water provided to the customers by the Sebastian Highlands WTP considered good quality product. However, there have been some complaints from customers regarding the finished water quality. On October 16, 1990, the IRCHD investigated the complaint, and samples were taken for bacteria, copper, chlorine residual and total trihalomethanes (1'IW. As a result, the samples analyzed for microbiological parameters indicated that the taps inside the residence exceeded the requirements in Chapter 17-550; however, the outside tap did not violate this standard. The copper concentration exceeded the maximum contaminant level (MCL) set by Chapter 17-550 and was reported to be 0.17 mg/l at the kitchen sink and 3.15 mg/l in the bathroom. Finally, the TTHM concentration violated the MCL level set by Chapter 17-550 and was reported to be 0.343 mg/1 (outside residence) and 0.40 , mg/l (inside residence). The free chlorine concentrations of all samples resulted in a level of greater than HES/cl/C-4/Revoir.hes 1 1.0 mg/1. These problems are not alarming, since GDU, to the best of our knowledge, does not practice TTHM control the copper problems could be resolved by modifying the operation of the WTP and the bacteria concentrations appear to be a problem resulting from within the house rather than from the system. The Sebastian Highlands wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is located at the west end of the Baily Drive extension. The City of Sebastian is served by GDU under an exclusive franchise agreement. Currently, the wastewater service is provided to relatively few customers, which comprises the population in units 9, 16 and 17 of the development. Illustrated in Figure ES -3 is the current wastewater service area of the Sebastian Highlands WWTP. The Sebastian Highlands WWTP is an extended aeration activated sludge treatment process with a design capacity of 300,000 gpd; however, the effluent disposal system (percolation ponds) have a permitted disposal capacity of 142,000 gpd. Since January, 1988, the influent wastewater flow to this WWTP has averaged approximately 81,800 gpd and ranged from 22,000 gpd to 186,000 gpd. During the last three (3) months, the influent flow averaged approximately 113,000 gpd, with a maximum daily flow of approximately 136,000 gpd. There are numerous positive impacts on the utility customers resulting from the purchase by the City of the GDU-Sebastian Highlands Division water and wastewater system assets and are summarized as follows: 1) The purchase will be the first step in creating a unified water and wastewater system throughout the City of Sebastian. In accordance, growth management and master planning efforts can address and correct system deficiencies in an effective and economical. manner. As a result, the water and wastewater services provided to the customers can significantly improve. 2) Regulatory decisions concerning the water and wastewater facilities will be made by local representatives of the customers, who will be more aware of local requirements and will be sensitive to the needs of the customers. 3) Public sewer system ownership most likely would ensure better system management. GDU is a business operating for profit. Because they are operating for profit some maintenance and facilities could suffer. This "bottom- line" management policy has resulted in a poor maintenance program. As a result, facilities are typically not fixed until they are broken. When repairs -are made they are in the least expensive manner and at minimum standards. Under City ownership, such maintenance and management policies will not be continued. The City is limited in how far it can govern how a private utility is operated and maintained. If acquired, however, all standards can be upheld by the City, ensuring better service to the community. HES/cl/C-4/Revoir.hes 2 4) Management policies would be more beneficial to the community under City ownership. If the City acquires the water and wastewater system, improvements can be made tax free and the need for profit in rate collection eliminated. It is proposed that the City operates the utility as a "user pays" enterprise fund, so that no general tax monies are used for its purchase or operation. Existing users will be required to share the financial burden of existing needed improvements, and future users will pay for needed system expansion through connection fees. 5) The operation of the Sebastian water and wastewater system and the subsequent expansion of operations will be under the control of the City, and not subject to conflicting land development interests. 6) Substantial financial advantages will be available because of City -owned utility system is not subject to federal and state income taxes, or gross receipt taxes as privately owned utility systems. 7) Future capital improvements required for the continued efficient operation of the Sebastian water and wastewater system can be more economically financed by the City than by a private company through the use of municipal tax-free financing. 8) The City will be able to better control and correct negative environmental impacts and provide surface, groundwater and other environmental protection which will promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Sebastian. 9) Under the City ownership, the customers' water and wastewater monthly bills will be lower than the proposed GDU rates for this system. The negative impacts associated with the proposed utility acquisition are the following: 1) As owners of the system, the City would also assume a responsibility for operations and maintenance, which typically involves problems and complaints. The City would also assume the liabilities involved in ownership and responsibility for rates and charges. 2) Future regulatory requirements and more stringent changes can ultimately result in unforeseen costly future capital investments. 3) Lack of expertise in utility management, which can be remedied in large part by the hiring of the present operational staff. HES/cl/C-4/Revoir.hes 3 The positive and negative impacts associated with the purchase of the GDU-Sebastian Highlands Division by the City are summarized in Table 1.

Consideration must be given to all potential impacts associated- with the construction of the project, its operation and maintenance, the operation of all identified primary beneficiaries, and the attainment of the project's major objectives, whether they be an increased housing stock, community improvement, economic development, or greater agricultural productivity. This last category, the attainment of the project's major objectives, often induces or supports changes in population densities, land uses, community services, transportation systems and resource consumption. The scope of the assessment is broadened even further when there are related activities involved. The impacts of these activities must also be assessed. The preparer will consult as indicated in §1940.318(b) of this Subpart with appropriate experts from Federal, State, and local agencies, universities, and other organizations or groups whose views could be helpful in the assessment of potential impacts. In so doing, each discussion which is utilized in reaching a conclusion with respect to the degree of an impact -- will be summarized in the assessment as accurately as possible and include the name, title, phone number, and organization of the individual contacted, plus the date of contact. 'Related correspondence should be attached to the assessment. The FmHA environmental assessment shall be prepared in the following format. It shall address the listed items and questions and contain as attachments the indicated descriptive materials, as well as the environmental information submitted by the applicant, Form FmHA 1940- 20, "Request for Environmental Information." The assessment has been designed -to cover the wide variety of projects and environments with which the Agency deals. Consequently, not every issue or potential impact raised in the assessment may be relevant to each project. The purpose of the format is to give the preparer an understanding of a standard range of impacts, environmental factors, and issues which may be encountered. In preparing an assessment, each topic heading identified by a Roman numeral and each environmental factor listed under topic heading IV, such as air quality, for example, must be addressed. (10-19-88) SPECIAL PN FmHA Instruction 1940-G Exhibit H Page 2 The amount of analysis and material that must be provided will depend upon the type and size of the project, the environment in which it is located, and the range and complexity of the potential impacts. The amount of analysis and detail provided, therefore, must be commensurate with the -magni.tude of the expected- impact. The analysis of each environmental factor (i.e. water quality) must be taken to the point that a conclusion can be reached and supported concerning the degree of the expected impact with respect to that factor. For example, a small community center may not require detailed information on air emissions or solid waste management, but an industrial facility would. Similarly, an irrigation project for a farming operation would concentrate on uch factors as water quality and fish and wildlife, rather than land use changes. The•extension of a water or sewer system or the approval of a subdivision, on the other hand, would have to give close attention to all factors, with potential land use changes being a particularly important one. . I. Project Description and Need Identify the name, project number, location, and specific elements of the project along with their sizes, and, when applicable, their design capacities. Indicate the purpose of the project, FmHA's position regarding the need for it, and the extent or area of land to be considered as the project site. II. Primary Beneficiaries and Related Activities Identify any existing businesses or major developments that will benefit from the project and those which will expand or locate in the area because of the project. Specify by name, product, service, and operations involved. Identify any related activities which are defined as interdependent parts of a FmHA action. Such undertakings are considered interdependent parts whenever they either make possible or support the FmHA action or are themselves induced or supported by the FmHA action or another related activity. These activities may have been completed in the very recent past and are now operational, or they may reasonably be expected to be accomplished in the near future. Related activities may or may not be federally permitted or assisted. When they are, identify the involved Federal Agency(s). FmHA Instruction 1940-G Exhibit H Page 3 II. (Cont.) In completing the remainder of the assessment, it must be remembered that the impacts to be addressed are those which stem from the project, the primary beneficiaries, and the related activities. III. Description of Project Area Describe the project site and its present use. Describe the surrounding land uses; indicate the directions and distances involved. The extent of the surrounding land to be considered depends on the extent of the impacts of the project, its related activities, and the primary beneficiaries.

An Engineer Fee Analysis described in the attached Automation Supplement may be used as an aid in reviewing the engineer fees described herein. (m) Applying for FmHA loans. j(1) Preapplication. Applicants desiring loans will file Form Ad -621 and comments from the appropriate A-95 clearinghouse agency normally with the appropriate FmHA County Office. The County Supervisor will immediately forward all documents to the District Office. The District Director has prime responsibility for all community program loan making and servicing activities within the District. (Revised 3-1-88, SPECIAL PN.) 1(2) Preavplication review. Upon receipt of the preapplication, FmHA will tentatively determine eligibility including the likelihood of credit elsewhere at reasonable rates and terms and availability of FmHA loans funds. The determination as to the availability of 58 (Revision 3) ...��....vw.ww.+-a.�a.-.e.�.w...w..�..ww....i)17 41942.17 (m) (2) (Con.) FmRA Instruction 1942-A other credit will be made after considering present rates and terms available for similar proposals (not necessarily based upon rates and terms available from FmHA); the repayment potential of the applicant; long-term cost to the applicant; and average user or other charges. In those cases where FmHA determines that loans at reasonable rates and terms should be available from commercial sources, FmHA will notify the applicant so that it may apply for such financial assistance. Such applicants may be reconsidered for F=HA loans upon their presenting satisfactory evidence of inability to obtain commercial financing at reasonable rates and terms. .(3} Incurring obligations. Applicants should not proceed with planning nor obligate themselves for expenditures until authorized by FmHA. (4) Results of preapplication review. After FmHA has reviewed the preapplication material and any additional material that may be requested, Form AD --622 will be sent to the applicant. Ordinarily the review will not exceed 45 days. !(5) Application conference. Before starting to assemble the application and after the applicant selects its professional and technical representatives, it should arrange with FmHA for an application conference to provide a basis for orderly application assembly. FmHA will provide applicants with a list of documents necessary to complete the application. Guide 15 may be used for this purpose. Applications will be filed with the District Office. (6) Application completion and assembling. This is the responsibility of the applicant with guidance from FmHA. The applicant may utilize their professional and technical representatives or other competent sources. (7) Review of decision. If an application is rejected, the applicant may request a review of this decision under Subpart B of Part 1900 of this chapter. (n) Actions prior to loan closing and start of construction. (1) Excess FmHA loan and grant funds. If there is a significant reduction in project cost, the applicant's funding needs will be reassessed before loan closing or the start of construction, which- ever occurs first. In such cases applicable FmHA forms, the letter of conditions, and other items will be revised. Decreases in FmHA funds will be based on revised project costs and current number of users, however, other factors including FmHA regulations used at the time of loan/grant approval will remain the same. Obligated loan or grant funds not needed to complete the proposed project will be deobligated. 59 (Revision 1) (2-6-85, PN 956) FmHA Instruction 1942-A 41942.17 (a) (Con.) (2) Loan resolutions. Loan resolutions will be adopted by both public and other -than -public bodies using Form FmHA 1942-47, "Loan Resolution (Public Bodies)," or Form FmHA 1942-9, "Loan Resolution (Security Agreement)." These resolutions supplement other provisions in this subpart. The applicant will agree: (i) To indemnify the Government for any payments made or losses suffered by the Government on behalf of the association. Such indemnification shall be payable from the same source of funds pledged to pay the bonds or any other legally permissible source. (ii) To comply with applicable local, State and Federal laws, regulations, and ordinances. (iii) To provide for the receipt of adequate revenues to meet the requirements of debt service, operation and maintenance, establishment of adequate reserves, and to continually operate and maintain the facility in good condition.

If free services are extended, no distinctions will be made in the extension of those services because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, marital status, or physical or mental handicap. (iv) To acquire and maintain such insurance coverage including fidelity bonds, as may be required by the Government. (v) To establish and maintain such books and records relating to the operation of the facility and its financial affairs and to provide for required audit thereof in such a.manner as may be required by the Government and to provide the Government without its request, a copy of each such audit and to make and forward to the Government such additional information and reports as it may, from time- to time, require. (vi) To.provide the Government at all reasonable times, access to all books and records relating to the facility and access to the property of the system so that the Government may ascertain 60 (Revision 1) 51942.17 (n) (2) (vi) (Con.) FmHA instruction 1942-A that the association is complying with the provisions hereof and of the instruments incident to the making or insuring of the loan. (vii) To provide adequate service to all persons within the service area who can feasibly and legally be served and to obtain FmHA's concurrence prior to refusing new or adequate services to such persons. Upon failure of the applicant to provide services which are feasible and legal, such person shall have a direct right of action against the applicant organization. (viii) To have prepared on its behalf and to adopt an ordinance or resolution for the issuance of its bonds or notes or other debt instruments or other such items and in such forms as are required by State statutes and as are agreeable and acceptable to the Government. (ix) To refinance the unpaid balance, in whole or in part, of its debt upon the request of the Government if at any time it should appear to the Government that the association is able to refinance its bonds by obtaining a loan for such purposes from responsible cooperative or private sources at reasonable rates and terms. (x) To provide for, execute, and comply with Form FmHA 400-4, "Assurance Agreement," and Form FmHA 400-1, "Equal Opportunity Agreement," including an "Equal Opportunity Clause," which is to be incorporated in or attached as a rider to each construction contract and subcontract in excess of $10,000. (xi) To place the proceeds of the loan on deposit in a manner approved by the Government. Funds may be deposited in institutions insured by the State or Federal Government as invested in readily marketable securities backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Any income from these accounts will be considered as revenues of the system. (xii) Not to sell, transfer, lease, or otherwise encumber the facility or any portion thereof or interest therein, and not to permit others to do so, without the prior written consent of the Government. (xiii) Not to borrow any money from any source, enter into any contract or agreement, or incur any other liabilities in connection with making enlargements, improvements or extensions to, or for any other purpose in connection with the facility (exclusive of normal maintenance) without the prior written consent of the Government if such undertaking would involve the source of funds pledged to repay the debt to FmHA. 61 (Revision 1) (2-6-85, PN 956) FmRA Instruction 1942-A §1942.17 (n) (2) (Con.) (xiv) That upon default in the payments of any principal and accrued interest on the bonds or in the performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in the instruments incident to making or insuring the loan, the Government, at its option, may: (A) Declare the entire principal amount then outstanding and accrued interest, due and payable; (B) For the account of the association (payable from the source of funds pledged to pay the bonds or notes or any other legally permissible source), incur and pay reasonable expenses for repair, maintenance and operation of the facility and such other reasonable expenses as may be necessary to cure the cause of default; and/or (C) Take possession of the facility, repair, maintain and operate, or otherwise dispose of the facility. Default under the provisions of the resolution or any instrument incident to the making or insuring of the loan may be construed by the Government to constitute default under any other instrument held by the Government and executed or assumed by the association and default under any such instrument may be construed by the Government to constitute default hereunder. (3) Interim financing. In all loans exceeding $50,000, where funds can be borrowed at reasonable interest rates on an interim basis from commercial sources for the construction- period, such interim financing will be obtained so as to preclude the necessity for multiple advances of FmHA funds. Guide 1 or Guide la, as appropriate, may be used to inform the private lender of FmFA's commitment. When interim commercial financing is used, the application will be processed, including obtaining construction bids, to the stage where the FmRA loan would normally be closed, that is immediately prior to the start of construction. The FmHA loan should be closed as soon as possible after the disbursal of all interim funds. Interim financing may be for a fixed term provided the fixed term does not extend beyond the time projected for completion of construction. For this purpose, a fixed term is when the interim lender cannot be repaid prior to the end of the stipulated term of the interim instruments. When an FmHA Water and Waste Disposal grant is included, any interim financing involving a fixed term must be for the total FmHA loan amount. Multiple advances may be used in conjunction with interim commercial financing when the applicant is unable to obtain sufficient funds through interim commercial financing in an amount equal to the loan. The FmHA loan proceeds (including advances) will be used to retire 62 (Revis ion 1) §1942.17 (n) (3) (Con.) FmHA Instruction 1942-A the interim commercial indebtedness. Before the FmHA loan is closed, the applicant will be required to provide FmHA with statements from the contractor, engineer, architect, and attorney that they have been paid to date in accordance with their contracts or other agreements and, in the case of the contractor, that any suppliers and subcontractors have been paid. If such statements cannot be obtained, the loan may be closed provided: (i) Statements to the extent possible are obtained; and (ii) The interest of FmHA can be adequately protected and its security position is not impaired; and - (iii) Adequate provisions are made for handling the unpaid accounts by withholding or escrowing sufficient funds to pay such claims. (4) Obtaining closing instructions. After loan approval, the completed docket will be reviewed by the State Director. The information required by OGC will be transmitted to OGS. with request for closing instructions. Upon receipt of the closing instructions from OGC, the State Director will forward them along with any appropriate instructions to the District Director. Upon receipt of closing instructions, the District Director will discuss with the applicant and its architect or engineer, attorney, and other appropriate representatives, the requirements contained therein and any actions necessary to proceed with closing. (5) Applicant contribution. An applicant contributing funds toward the project cost shall deposit these*fuads in its construction account on or before loan closing or start of construction, whichever occurs first. Project costs paid prior to the required deposit time with applicant funds shall be appropriately accounted for. (6) Evidence of and disbursement of other funds. Applicants expecting funds from other sources for use in completing projects being partially financed with FmHA funds will present evidence of the commitment of these funds from such other sources. This evidence will be available before loan closing, or the start of construction, whichever occurs first. Ordinarily, the funds provided by the applicant or from other sources will be disbursed prior to the use of FmHA loan funds. If this is not possible, funds will be disbursed on a pro rata basis. FmHA funds will not be used to pre -finance funds committed to the project from other sources. 63 (Revision 1) (2-6-859 PN 956) FmHA Instruction 1942—A §1942.17 (o) (o) Loan closing. (1) Closing instructions. Loans will be closed in accordance with the closing instructions issued by OGC. (2) Obtaining insurance and fidelity _bonds. Required property insurance policies, liability insurance policies, and fidelity bonds will be obtained by the time of loan closing or start of construction, whichever occurs first. (3) Distribution of recorded documents. The originals of the recorded deeds, easements, permits, certificates of water rights, leases, or other contracts and similar documents which are not to be held by FmHA will be returned to the borrower. The original mortgage(s) and water stock certificates, if any, if not required by the recorder's office will be retained by FmHA. (4) Review of loan closing. In order to determine that the loan has been properly closed, the loan docket will be reviewed by the State Director and OGC. (p) Project monitoring and fund delivery during construction. (1) Coordination of funding sources. When a project is jointly financed, the State Director will reach any needed agreement or understanding with the representatives of -the other source of funds on distribution of responsibilities for handling various aspects of the project. These responsibilities will include supervision of construction, inspections and determinations of compliance with appropriate regulations concerning equal employment opportunities, wage rates, nondiscrimination in making services or benefits available, and environmental compliance. If any problems develop which cannot be resolved locally, complete information should be sent to the National Office for advice. (2) Multiple advances. In the event interim commercial financing is not legally permissible or not available, multiple advances of FmHA loan funds are required. An exception to this requirement may be granted by the National Office when a single advance is necessitated by State law or public exigency. Multiple advances will be used only for loans in excess of $50,000. Advances will be made only as needed to cover disbursements required by the borrower over a 30—day period. Advances should not exceed 24 in number nor 64 (Revision 1) §1942.17 (p) (2) (Con.) FmHA Instruction 1942-A extend longer than two years beyond loan closing. Normally, the retained percentage withheld from the contractor to assure construction completion will be included in the last advance. ( i) 11942.19 contains instructions for making multiple advances to public bodies. (ii) Advances will be requested by the borrower in writing. The request should be in sufficient amounts to pay cost of construction, rights-of-way and land, legal, engineering, interest, and other expenses as needed. The applicant may use Form FmHA 440-11, "Estimate of Funds Needed for 30 Day Period Commencing ," to show the amount of funds needed during the 30 -day period. (iii) FmHA loan funds obligated for a specific purpose, such as the paying of interest, but not needed at the time of loan closing will remain in the Finance Office until needed unless State statutes require all funds to be delivered to the borrower at the time of closing. Loan funds may be advanced to, prepay costs under paragraph (d)(1)(iv)(G) of this section. If all funds must be delivered to the borrower at the time of closing to comply with State statutes, funds not needed at loan closing will be handled as follows: (A) Deposited in an appropriate borrower account, such as the debt service account, or (B) Deposited in a supervised bank account under paragraph (p)(3)(i) of this section. (3) Use and accountability of funds. (i) Supervised bank account. FmHA loan funds and any funds furnished by the applicant borrower to supplement the loan including contributions to purchase major items of equipment, machinery, and furnishings may be deposited in a supervised bank account if determined necessary as provided in Subpart A of Part 1902 of this chapter. When FmHA has a memorandum of understanding with another agency that provides for the use of supervised bank accounts, or when FmHA is the primary source of funds for a project and has determined that the use of a supervised bank account is necessary, project funds from other sources may also be deposited in the supervised bank account. FmHA shall not be accountable to the source of the other funds nor shall FmHA undertake responsibility to administer the funding program of the other entity. Supervised bank accounts should not be used for funds advanced by an interim lender. (Revised 3-1-88, SPECIAL PN.) 65 (Revision 2) (2-6-85) PN 956 FmHA Instruction 1942-A 51942.17 (p) (3) (Con.) (ii) Other than supervised bank account. If a supervised bank account is not used, arrangement will be agreed upon for the prior concurrence by FmHA of the bills or vouchers upon which warrants will be drawn, so that the payments from loan funds can be controlled and FmHA records are current. If a supervised bank account is not used, use Form FmHA 402-2, "Statement of Deposits and Withdrawals," or a similar form to monitor funds. Periodic reviews of nonsupervised accounts shall be made by FmHA at the times and in the manner as FmHA prescribes in the conditions of loan approval. State laws regulating the depositories to be used shall be complied with. (iii) Use of minorit owned banks. Applicants are encouraged to use minority banks a bank which is owned at least SO percent by minority group members) for the deposit and disbursement of funds. A list of minority owned banks can be obtained from the Office of.Minority Business Enterprise, Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230 and is also available in all FmHA offices. (4) Development inspections. The District Director will be responsible for monitoring the construction of all projects being financed, wholly or in part, with FmHA funds. Technical assistance will be provided by the State Director's staff. Project monitoring Will include construction inspections and a review of each project inspection report, each change order and each partial payment estimate and other invoices such as payment for engineering/ architectural and legal fees and other materials determined necessary to effectively monitor each project. These activities will not be performed on behalf of the applicant /borrower, but are solely for the benefit of FmHA and in no way are intended to relieve the applicant /borrower of corresponding obligations to conduct similar monitoring and inspection activities. Project monitoring will include periodic inspections to review partial payment estimates prior to their approval and to review project development in accordance with plans and specifications. Each inspection will be recorded using Form FmHA 1924-12, "Inspection Reports." The original Form FmHA 1924-12 will be filed in project case folder and a copy furnished to the State Director. The State Director will review inspection reports and will determine that the project is being effectively monitored. The District Director is authorized to review and accept partial payment estimates prepared by the contractor and approved by the borrower, provided the consulting engineer or architect, if one is being utilized for the project, has approved .the estimates and certified that all material purchased or work performed is in accordance with the plans and specifications, or if a consulting engineer or architect is not being utilized, the District Director has determined that the funds requested are for authorized purposes. If there is any indication that con - 66 (Revision 2 ) 11942.17 (p) (4) (Con.) FmIRA Instruction 1942-A struction is not being completed in accordance With the plans and specifications or that any other problems exist, the District Director should notify the State Director immediately and withhold all payments on the contract. (Revised 5-12-87, SPECIAL PN.) (5) Payment for construction. Each payment for project costa must be approved by the borrower's governing body. Payment for con- struction must be for amounts shown on payment estimate forms. Form FmHA 1924-18, "Partial Payment Estimate," may be used for this purpose or other similar forms may be used with the prior approval of the State Director or designee. However, the State Director or designee cannot require a greater reporting burden than is required by Form FmRA 1924-18. Advances for contract retainage will not be made until such retainage is due and payable under the terms of the contract. The review and acceptance of project costs, including construction partial payment estimates by FmKA, does not attest to the correctness of the amounts, the quanities shown, or that the work has been performed under the terms of agreements or contracts. (Revised 5-12-81, SPECIAL PN.) (6) Use of remaining funds. Funds remaining after all costs incident to the basic project have been paid or provided for will not include applicant contributions. Avulicant contributions will be considered as funds initially expended for the project. Funds remaining, with exception of applicant contributions, may be considered in direct oroportion to the amounts obtained from each source. Remaining funds will be handled as follows: (i) FmHA loan and/or grant funds. Remaining funds may be used for purposes authorized by paragraph (d) of this section and 41942.354 of Subpart H of Part 1942 of this chapter, provided the use will not result in major changes to the facility design or project and that the purpose of the loan and/or grant remains the same. (Revised 4-1-85, SPECIAL PN.) (A) On projects that only involve an FmRA loan and no FmHA grant, funds that are not needed will be applied as an extra payment on the FmHA indebtedness unless other dispostion is required by the bond ordinance, resolution, or State statute. (E) On projects that involve an FmHA grant, all re- maining FmHA funds will be considered to be grant funds up to the full amount of the grant. Grant funds not expended under paragraph (p) (6) (i) of this section will be deobligated. 67 (Revision 2) (2-6-85) PA 956 F=RA Instruction 1942-A 11942,17 (p) (6) (Con.) (ii) Funds from other sources. Funds remaining from other sources will be handled according to rules, regulations and/or the agreement governing their participation in the project. (q) Borrower accounting methods, management reporting and audits. (1) Accounting methods and records. (i) Method of accounting and financial statements. Financial statements Aust be prepared on the accrual bass of accounting unless State statutes or regulatory agencies provide otherwise, or an exception is made by F=AA. This requirement is for accrual basis financial statements and not for accrual basis accounting systems. Organizations may keep their books on an accounting basis other than accrual and then make adjustments so that the financial statements are presented on the accrual basis. (ii) Aporoval requirement. Before loan closing or start of construction, whic ever is first, each borrower shall provide to, and obtain approval from the F M loan approval Official for its accounting and financial re system, including the agreement with its auditor, ifpantauditor tis� required. (iii) Records. Fora FOU 1930-5, "Bookkeeping System — •- Small Borrower," may be used by small organizations as a method of recording and maintaining accounting transactions. Civ) Record retention. Each borrower shall retain all records, ooks, and supporting material for 3 years after the issuance of the audit reports and financial statements. Upon request, this material will be made available to FwHA, the Comptroller Generals or to their representatives. (2) K&Uagewnt 'reports. These reports will furnish the management with a means of evaluating prior decisions and serve as a basis for Planning future operations and financial conditions. In those cases where revenues from multiple sources are pledged as security for an FmAA Iona, two reports will be required, one for the project being financed by FtaU and one combining the entire operation of the borrower. In those cases where FmAA loans are secured by general obligation bonds or assessments and the borrower combines revenues from all sources, one management report combining all such re- venues will suffice. The following management data will be sub- mitted by the borrower to the FmHA District Director. 68 (Revision 2) $1942.17 (q) (2) (Con.) (i) Financial information. FmHA Instruction 1942-A (A) Form FmHA 442-2, "Statement of Budget, Income and Equity," which includes Schedule 1, "Statement of Budget, Income and Equity," and Schedule 29 "Projected Cash Flow."

Twenty (20) days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each, year, two copies with all information furnished on Schedule 1 will be submitted. For the fourth quarter of each year, submit together with the year-end financial requirements of paragraphs (q)(4) and (5) of this section. More frequent submissions may be required by FmHA when necessary. The submission dates to the District Director will be -90 days following year-end for audited statements and 60 days following year-end for unaudited statements. The fourth quarter submission may serve the dual purpose of management report and year-end financial requirement for Statement of Income. (Revised 3-1-88, SPECIAL PN.) (ii) Additional information. (A) A list of the names and addresses of all members of the governing body as appropriate, also indicating the officers and their terms of office, will be included with the other information required at the end of the year. (B) Borrowers delinquent on payment to FmHA or experiencing financial problems, will develop a positive action plan to resolve financial problems. The plan will be reviewed with FmHA and updated at least quarterly. Guide 22 may be used for developing a positive action plan. (3) Substitute for management reports. When FmHA loans are secured by th6 general obligation of the public body or tax assessments which total 100 percent of the debt service requirements, the State Director may authorize an annual audit to substitute for other management reports if the audit is received within 90 days following the period covered by the audit. (Revised 3-1-88, SPECIAL PN.) 69 (Revision 1) (2-6-85, PN 956) FmHA Instruction 1942-A 41942.17 (q) (4) (4) Audits.

Smaller borrowers not assigned a cognizant agency by OMB should contact the Federal agency that provided the most funds. When USDA is designated as the cognizant agency or when it has been determined by the borrower that FmHA provided the major portion of Federal financial assistance, the appropriate USDA OIG Regional Inspector General shall be contacted. FmHA and the borrower shall coordinate all proposed audit plans with the appropriate USDA OIG. A list of OIG contact persons is attached as Exhibit B (available in any FmHA office). (2) Audit requirements. It is not intended that audits required by this subpart be separate and apart from audits performed in accordance with State and local laws.

Pursuant to Presidential Executive Order 12372, the project will be in accord with State plans, programs, procedures and objectives when consideration is given to and action taken on the enclosed comments and requirements of our reviewing agencies. The Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) indicates that permits may be required prior to start of construction. Sound development practices should be maintained during all phases of construction and early coordination with DER's district office in the project area may help Lu eliminate problems in the permitting process. Please refer to the enclosed DER comments. We have reviewed the referenced application for financial assistance and do not object to the project based on the information available at this time. Therefore, the project, at this stage, is consistent with the Florida Coastal Management Program. However, our reviewing agencies have identified several issues which cannot be addressed by the applicant until the project proceeds to later stages of design and permitting. All subsequent funding decisions for this project will be reviewed for consistency by the State. The final consistency review of this project will be the State's permitting review, if applicable. We strongly encourage you to resolve the identified concerns with permitting agencies through early, pre -application coordination. Mr. Gary J.

Votapka, Utilities Director TO Hal Schmidt, Vice President, Hartman & Associates RE Utility Acquisition - Farmers Home Administration Application Request for Environmental Information, Exhibit I The following is offered as replacement verbiage for paragraph II, page 1: Central potable water service for the City of Sebastian is provided by GDU which presently holds a franchise agreement for the majority of the City. The notable exception is the franchise held by Park Place, a mobile home development, which was formerly known as the Villages of Lake Delores. The Park Place water treatment plant currently provides potable water to 164 customers in Park Place Mobile Home Park and to 20 customers in Palm Lake Club, a mobile home park to the north of Park Place. Park Place a phased project, has the potential to develop a total of 648 residential units. Palm Lake Club has the potential development of 134 residences. The Park Place water treatment plant, although owned by the City of Sebastian, has been operated by Indian River County. As of May 1, 1993, the City of Sebastian will assume operation for the entire water system serving both the Park Place and Palm Lake Club developments. The GDU water utility system provides potable water to its customers from a water treatment plant (WTP) located on Filbert Street. Although the franchise area covers all of the 17 units of the Sebastian Highlands, the existing service area only includes all of Units 7, 90 12, 14, and 15 and portions of Units S. 10, 11, 16, and 17. All total there are 13,008 platted lots in all of the 17 units. There are approximately 1200 customers being served at present. The City's goal is to provide public water service to all of the homes within Units 1 - 17 of the Sebastian Highlands. Page Two of Two April 21, 1993 Memorandum to Hal Schmidt, Vice President, Hartman & Associates On page 5, the response to Item '2 should be changed to the following: The existing water and sewer facilities currently under the ownership of General Development Utilities will be transferred to the City of Sebastian upon successful conclusion of the current negotiations. Once the City owns the GDU system, it plans to install an ammoniation system to eliminate the trihalomethane problem that presently exists, extend a water main to the Park Place system to eliminate the Park Place Water Treatment Plant, increase the capacity of the percolation ponds at the existing GDU wastewater treatment plant to accommodate wastewater flow from Park Place and Palm Lake Club, and to construct a force main from the County's existing lift station for Park Place to reroute the flow to the City's wastewater {old GDU} treatment plant. On page S. the response to Item 13 should be revised as follows: Indiap River County assigned its rights to the potable water system and gravity sewage collection system in Park Place and Palm Lake Club to the City of Sebastian through an Interlocal Agreement dated April 21, 1992. During the process of formulating the agreement there was a considerable amount of press coverage as a result of the meetings and correspondence involved between the City of Sebastian and Indian River County. A public hearing was held by both the Sebastian City Council and the Indian River Board of Commissioners prior to the adoption of the interlocal agreement by both governmental bodies. A formal hearing will be conducted in accordance with Florida Statute 180.301 in the near future for the purpose of acquiring the General Development utility water and wastewater systems. — BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Telephone: (407) 567-8000 February 25, 1993 Ian G.

Please refer to the enclosed DER comments. We have reviewed the referenced application for financial assistance and do not object to the project based on the information available at this time. Therefore, the project, at this stage, is consistent with the Florida Coastal Management Program. However, our reviewing agencies have identified several issues which cannot be addressed by the applicant until the project proceeds to later stages of design and permitting. All subsequent funding decisions for this project will be reviewed for consistency by the State. The final consistency review of this project will be the State's permitting review, if applicable. We strongly encourage you to resolve the identified concerns with permitting agencies through early, pre -application coordination. Mr. Gary J. ReVoir II Page Two Please attach a copy of this letter and any enclosures to your application facesheet or cover form and forward to the federal funding agency. (If applicable, enter the State Application Identifier (SAI##) number, shown above, in box 3A of Standard Form 424 or where appropriate on other cover form.) This action will assure the federal agency of your compliance with Florida's review requirements and reduce the chance of unnecessary delays in processing your application by the federal agency.

When it does, the City will want to run a water main from the GDU System to the Park Place system to eliminate the Park Place package treatment plant. However, the cost of running the water main is not included in the application, only the cost to purchase the existing system in Park Place. Susan said she'll get the application off today.

In accordance, g deficiencies in an and master planning efforts can address and correct system effective and economical manner. As a result, ithe water and wastewater ewa services provided to the customers can significantly improve* Regulatory decisions concerning the water and wastewater facilities will be 2) g rY made by local representatives of the customers, who will be more aware of local requirements and will be sensitive to the needs of the customers. 3 Public sewer system ownership most likely would ensure better system management. GDU is a business operating for profit. Because they are operating for profit some maintenance and facilities could suffer. This "bottom- GJR/cllC-4/Sebastin.gjr 2 HAI #92-023.00 line" management policy has resulted in a poor maintenance program.. As a result, facilities are typically not fixed until they are broken. When repairs are made they are in the least expensive manner and at minimum standards. Under City ownership, such maintenance and management policieswill not be continued. The City is limited in how far it can govern how a private utility is operated and maintained. If acquired, however, all standards can be upheld by the City, ensuring better service to the community. 4) Management policies would be more beneficial to the community under City ownership. . If the City acquires the water and wastewater system, improvements can be made tax free and the need for profit in rate collection eliminated. It is proposed that the City operates the utility as a user pays enterprise fund, so that 0 general tax monies are used for its purchase or operation. Existing users will be required to share the financial burden of existing needed improvements, and future users will pay for needed system expansion through connection fees. 5) The operation of the Sebastian water and wastewater system and the subsequent expansion of operations will be under the control of the City, and not subject to conflicting land development interests. 6) Substantial financial advantages will be available because of City -owned utility system is not subject to federal and state income taxes, or gross receipt taxes as privately owned utility systems. 7) Future capital improvements required for the continued efficient operation of the Sebastian water and wastewater system can be more economically financed by the City than by a private company through the use of municipal tax-free financing. 8) The City will be able to better control and correct negative environmental impacts and provide surface, groundwater and other environmental protection which will promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Sebastian. 9) Under the City ownership, the customers, water and wastewater monthly bills will be lower than the proposed GDU rates for this system. The negative impacts associated with the proposed utility acquisition are the following: 1) As owners of the system, the City would also assume a responsibility for operations and maintenance, which typically involves problems and complaints. GJR/cl/C-4/Sebastin. gj r HAI #92-023.00 3 The City would also assume the liabilities involved in ownership and responsibility for rates and charges. 2) Future regulatory requirements and more stringent changes can ultimately result in unforeseen costly future capital investments. 3) Lack of expertise in utility management, which can be remedied in large part by the hiring of the present operational staff. The positive and negative impacts associated with the purchase of the GDU-Sebastian Highlands Division by the City are summarized in Table 1.

Application Request for Environmental Information, Exhibit I The following is an update of the replacement verbiage for the paragraphs specified below in the application as I had originally sent to you on April 21, 1993: Page 1, Paragraph II: Central potable water service for the City of Sebastian is currently provided by General Development Utilities (GDU) which presently holds a franchise agreement for the majority of the City. The notable exception is the Park Place/Palm Lake Club service area (formerly known as the Village of Lake Dolores) in which the City of Sebastian currently operates the water distribution and sewer collection systems. The Park Place water treatment plant presently provides potable water to 175 customers in Park Place Mobile Home Park and to 25 customers in Palm Lake Club, a mobile home park to the north of Park Place. Park Place, a phased project, has the potential to develop a total of 648 residential units. Palm Lake Club has the potential development of 136 residences. The Park Place water treatment plant, although owned by the City of Sebastian, had been previously operated by Indian River County. As of May 1, 1993, the City of Sebastian assumed operation for the entire water system serving both the Park Place and Palm Lake Club developments. The GDU water utility system provides potable water to its customers from a water treatment plant (WTP) located on Filbert Street. Although the franchise area covers all of the 17 units of Sebastian Highlands, the existing service area only includes all of Units 7, 90 12, 14, and 15 and portions of Units 8, 10, 11, 16, and 17. All total there are approximately 13,000 platted lots in all of the 17 units. Presently, there are 1242 customers being served. The City's goal is to provide public water service to all of the Page 2 of 2 October 13, 1993 Memorandum to Hal Schmidt homes within Units 1 - 17 of the Sebastian Highlands as soon as possible to eliminate existing individual shallow wells on quarter acre homesites having septic tanks. On Page 5, the response to Item 2 should be changed to the following: The existing water and sewer facilities currently under the ownership of General Development Utilities will be transferred to the City of Sebastian upon a successful closing scheduled for November 30, 1993. Once the City owns the GDU system, it plans to implement an ammoniation system at the water treatment plant to eliminate the trihalomethane problem that presently exists, construct sludge stabilization facilities at the wastewater treatment facility, extend a water main to the Park Place system to eliminate the Park Place water treatment plant, construct a force main from the County's existing lift station for Park Place to reroute the flow to the City's wastewater (old GDU) treatment plant, and make hydraulic improvements to the water distribution system to interconnect and loop existing water mains. On Page 5, the response to Item 13 should be revised as follows: Indian River County assigned its rights to the potable water system and gravity sewer collection system in Park Place and Palm Lake Club to the City of Sebastian through an Interlocal Agreement dated April 21, 1992. During the process of formulating the agreement there was a considerable amount of press coverage as a result of the meetings and correspondence involved between the City of Sebastian and Indian River County. A public hearing was held by both the Sebastian City Council and the Indian River County Board of Commissioners prior to the adoption of the Interlocal Agreement by both governmental bodies. A formal hearing was conducted in accordance with Florida Statute 180.301 on September 15, 1993 for the purpose of acquiring the General Development Utility water and wastewater systems. The Sebastian City Council concluded the Public Hearing at its September 29, 1993 meeting and voted to purchase the GDU Sebastian Highlands Water and Wastewater Systems. nA.1 FJZ-023 . 04 FROM: Gary J.

Moreover, GDU was cited on July 11, 1989, failure to monitor theg dnnkin water supply in accordance with Chapter 17-550, Drinking Wafer StandardsMonitoring and Reporting, of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC). , The finished water provided to the customers by the Sebastian Highlands WTP considered good uct. However, there have been some complaints from customers regarding the finished water quality. q ty prod .

There are numerous positive impacts on the utility customers resulting from the purchase by the City- of the GDU-Sebastian Highlands Division water and wastewater system assets and are summarized as follows: 1 TheP urchase will be the first step in creating a unified water and wastewater system throughout the City of Sebastian: - In accordance, growth management deficiencies in an master planning efforts can address and coned systemter and wastewater i effective and economical manner. As a result, the w services provided to the customers can significantly improve - 2) Regulatory Re ulato decisions concerning the water and wastewater facilities will be made by local representatives of the customers, who will be more aware of local requirements and will be sensitive to the needs of the customers. 3 Public sewer system ownership most likely would ensure better system management. GDU is a business operating for profit. Because they ar g This bottom - operating for profit some maintenance and facilities could suffer. As a line" management policy has resulted in a poor maintenance program. repairs -are a result, facilities are typically not fixed until they are broken. WhenpaUnder made they are in the least expensive manner and at .minimum standards• be City Ci ownership, such maintenance and management policies will not is continued. The City is limited in how far it can govern how a private utility operated and maintained. If acquired, however, all standards can be upheld by the City, ensuring better service to the community. HES/cl/C-4/Revoir.hes 2 4) Management policies would be more beneficial to the community under City ownership. If the City acquires the water and wastewater system, improvements can be made tax free and the need for profit in rate collection eliminated. It is proposed that the City operates the utility as a "user pays" enterprise fund, so that no general tax monies are used for its purchase or operation. Existing users will be required to share the financial burden of existing needed improvements, and future users will pay for needed system expansion through connection fees. 5) The operation of the Sebastian water and wastewater system and the subsequent expansion of operations will be under the control of the City, and not subject to conflicting land development interests. G) Substantial financial advantages will be available because of City -owned utility system is not subject to federal and state income taxes, or gross receipt taxes as privately owned utility systems. 7) Future capital improvements required for the continued efficient operation of the Sebastian water and wastewater system can be more economically financed by the City than by a private company through the use of municipal tax-free financing. 8) The City will be able to better control and correct negative environmental impacts and provide surface, groundwater and other environmental protection which will promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Sebastian. 9) Under the City ownership, the customers' water and wastewater monthly bills will be lower than the proposed GDU rates for this system. The negative impacts associated with the proposed utility acquisition are the following: 1) As owners of the system, the City would also assume a responsibility for operations and maintenance, which typically involves problems and complaints. The City would also assume the liabilities involved in ownership and responsibility for rates and charges. 2) Future regulatory requirements and more stringent changes can ultimately result in unforeseen costly future capital investments. 3) Lack of expertise in utility management, which can be remedied in large part by the hiring of the present operational staff.

M Theurpose of this project is to acquire the General Development Utilities, Inc. (GDU) - P Sebastian Highlands Division. In 1981, the City of Sebastian granted GDU the franchise to provide water and sewer services to the citizens of Sebastian. Moreover, the City of Sebastian has the fundamental obligation to ensure that adequate water and sewer services, are either provided- by the City or delegated to another entity. The water and sewer service area is illustrated in Figure 1. Central potable water service for the City of Sebastian is provided by GDU, which presently holds a franchise agreement for a majority of the City, with the exception of the Lake Delores r, service area. The GDU water utility system provides potable water, to its customers from a 'water treatment plant (WTP) Located on Filbert Street. The existing service area for the z' '" f4 - " Sebastian Highlands WTP includes units 7, 99 12, 149 15 and portions of units 8, 10, 11, 16 -� f and 17 kXk The GDU Sebastian Highlands W'rP is a lime softening, filtration and disinfection facility with of 671,000 gpd. The WTP, since September, 1988, has been providing an a design capacity demand has average daily finished water demand of approximately 286,900 gpd, and the daily flail ranged from 185,000 gpd to 512,000 gpd. During the last three (3) months, the average y finished water demand was approximately 3029000 gpd. The raw water quality that is pumped to the Sebastian Highlands WTP is considered good, based on data obtained from the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER) and the Indian River County Health Department (RCHD). Of the data analyzed, the two (2) raw water supply wells did not violate any of the water quality standards that were in effect at the time of sampling. However, -it should be noted that GDU has been cited on numerous.occasi°ns for failure to monitor the raw water quality, as well as other monitoring requirements (i.e., monthly microbiological, sodium, corrosivity, etc.). Moreover, GDU was cited on July 11, 1989, for failure to monitor the drinking water supply in accordance with Chapter 17-5509 Drinking Water Standards, Monitoring and Reporting, of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The finished water provided to the customers by the Sebastian Highlands WTP considered good quality product. However, there have been some complaints from customers regarding the finished water quality. On October 169 1990, the IRCFID investigated the complaint, and GJR/cllC-4/Sebastin.gjr HAI #92-023.00 samples were taken for bacteria, copper, chlorine residual and total trihalomethanes TM W. As a result, the samples analyzed for microbiological parameters indicated that the taps inside the residence exceeded the requirements in Chapter 17-550; however,the outside tap did no violate this standard. The copper concentration exceeded the maxi level sink and mum contaminant llevel (MCL) set by Chapter 17-550 and was reported too be 0.17 mg/l at the kitchen 3.15 mg/l in the bathroom. Finally, the TTHM concentration violated the MCL level set by chapter 17-550 and was reported to be 0.343 mg/l (outside residence) and 0.40 mg/1 (inside than residence). The free chlorine concentrations of all samples resulted in a level of greater 1.0 mg/l. These problems a not alarming, since GDU, to the best of our knowledge, does t practice TTHM contro copper Problems could be resolved by modifying the operation a no p to be a problem resulting from within the of the WTP and the bac concentrations appear P is no's ' house rather than from the system-----,(I-,,,,4,) DV ) to vav Yp s i a 0 n+ Vj i ju ura4u- xc.r• x ��' su+� iris "f�•4.

In accordance, growth management and master planning efforts can address and correct system deficiencies in an effective and economical manner. As a result, the water and wastewater services provided to the customers can significantly improve - 2) Regulatory decisions concerning the water and wastewater facilities will be made by local representatives of the customers, who will be more aware of local requirements and will be sensitive to the needs of the customers. 3) Public sewer system ownership most likely would ensure better system management. GDU is a business operating for profit. Because they are operating for profit some maintenance and facilities could suffer. This "bottom- GJR/cllC-4/Sebastin. gj r HAI #92-023.00 2 line" management policy has resulted in a poor maintenance program. As a result, facilities are typically not fixed until they are broken. When repairs are made they are in the least expensive manner and at minimum standards. Under City ownership, such maintenance and management policies will not be continued. The City is limited in how far it can govern how a private utility is operated and maintained. If acquired, however, all standards can be upheld by the City, ensuring better service to the community. 4) Management policies would be more beneficial to the community under City ownership. If the City acquires the water and wastewater system, improvements can be made tax free and the need for profit in rate collection eliminated. It is proposed that the City operates the utility as a "user pays" enterprise fund, so that nw general tax monies are used for its purchase or operation. Existing users will be required to share the financial burden of existing needed improvements, and future users will pay for needed system expansion through connection fees. 5) The operation of the Sebastian water and wastewater system and the subsequent expansion of operations will be under the control of the City, and not subject to conflicting land development interests. 6) Substantial financial advantages will be available because of City -owned utility system is not subject to federal and state income taxes, or gross receipt taxes as privately owned utility systems. 7) Future capital improvements required for the continued efficient operation of the Sebastian water and wastewater system can be more economically financed by the City than by a private company through the use of municipal tax-free financing. 8) The City will be able to better control and correct negative environmental impacts and provide surface, groundwater and other environmental protection which will promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Sebastian. 9) Under the City ownership, the customers' water and wastewater monthly bills will be lower than the proposed GDU rates for this system. The negative impacts associated with the proposed utility acquisition are the following: 1) As owners of the system, the City would also assume a responsibility for operations and maintenance, which typically involves problems and complaints. GJR/cl/C-4/S ebastin. gj r HAI #92-023.00 3 The City would also assume the liabilities involved in ownership and responsibility for rates and charges. 2) Future regulatory requirements and more stringent changes can ultimately result in unforeseen costly future capital investments. 3) Lack of expertise in utility management, which can be remedied in large part by the hiring of the present operational staff. The positive and negative impacts associated with the purchase of the GDU-Sebastian Highlands Division by the City are summarized in Table 1.

These problems are not alarming, since GDU, to the best of our knowledge, does not practice TTHM control the copper problems could be resolved by modifying the operation of the WTP and the bacteria concentrations appear to be a problem resulting from within the house rather than from the system. The Sebastian Highlands wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is located at the west end of the Baily Drive extension. The City of Sebastian is served by GDU under an exclusive franchise agreement. Currently, the wastewater service is provided to relatively few customers, which comprises the population in units 9, 16 and 17 of the development. Illustrated in Figure 1 is the current wastewater service area of the Sebastian Highlands WWTP. The Sebastian Highlands WWTP is an extended aeration activated sludge treatment process with a design capacity of 300,000 gpd; however, the effluent disposal system (percolation ponds) have a permitted disposal capacity of 142,000 gpd. Since January, 1988, the influent wastewater flow to this WWTP has averaged approximately 81,800 gpd and ranged from 22,000 gpd to 186,000 gpd. During the last three (3) months, the influent flow averaged approximately 113,000 gpd, with a maximum daily flow of approximately 136,000 gpd.
