The Mayor called the meetinn to order and the City Manager stated the
purpose was to discuss and take appropriate action upon the request of the .
Pinellas County Commission relating to the water service ar,reement. The City
Hanager quoted from hio letter of June 5, 1975, to Mr. Merrett'R. Stierheim,
Pinollas County Administrator, recommendinr, than an amendment be added to the
existinp, agreement between Clearwater and Pinellns County to provide for pur-
chase of up to an additional half million p,allons per day of wholesale water
to serve Northwood Estates, to be stap,ed ao the elements are developed. and
water tap fees are paid to the City. The ManaRer reported a ~eply dated June
6, 1975, from Mr. Stierheim, t-1hich he read into the record.
The City Manager stated there were two issues for the Commission to
decide. Onc was an increase in the amount of watcr that the City would pur-
chase at wholesale rate under the existing agreement with the County, and
number two t.,las to drop the law suit; and he went on to explain that the City
Commiosion at its last meeting of June 2nd, 1975, agreed to withdraw its
water rate suit if the County approved the joint water service agreement. The
request of the County to drop the suit was based on their attorney's opinion
that their tolater Bond Issue mif,ht be in jeopardy by an adverse decision of the
court as they had included future revenUe from the Northwood Estates property
in their calc~lations.
The City Hanagcr stated his recommendation Has to increase the water con-
sumption by one-half million gallons per day but he had no recommendation as
to dropping the water rate suit. Commissioner DeBlaker questioned the City's
need for an additional one-half million gallons of water at the wholesale
rate as the NorthHood Estates' project was to'donate a number of wells to ,the
City. Utilities Director Hilliam Stopher stated that the City will need extra
water in the future as the wells we presently have Hill be getting older and
the wells from the Uorthwood Estates project would replace those. Duane Zussy,
Assistant County Administrator, explained the County is working on water agree-
ments ,~ith other municipalities. He stated Pioellas County is more or less in
favor of Cleal'water t s annexation of Northl-l00d Estates subj ect to a mutual sat-
isfactory agreement being worked out on the delivery of water. It has been
estimated that in 5 or 6 years when this project is completed it will be using
an a~ditional one-half million p,allons of Hate'\:' per day.
The City Manar,er proposed a stipUlation between the County and the City
to delay the law suit for a minimum of three months during which time the
problem mip,ht be solved and a water service ar.reement acceptable to both
parties worked out. Considerable discussion followed on the wordin~ of the
stipulation.
The assistant County Attorney Jim Hallinger, stated the County is asking
for clarification of the agreement as it relates to the ~molesale water rates.
Their feasibility study included revenue from this, property.
Commissioner Martin moved that an amendment be added to the existinr,
anreement between Clearwater and Pinellas County to provide for the purchase
of and up to an additIonal one-half million gallons per day of wholesale
water to serve Northwood Estates to be staged as the elements are developed
and water tap fees are paid to the City. Commissioner Rankin seconded the
motion which carried unanimously.
