APPROVAL TO EXTEND 24 INCH SEWER INTERCEPTOR TO SERVE THE ROYAL
PALMS MOBILE HOME PARK AND APPROVAL OF ASSOCIATED BUDGET AMENDMENT

the Royal Palms Mobile Home Park has requested extension of the 24
inch sewer interceptor to serve the mobile home park. This would

require an extension of 800 feet at an estimated cost of $75,000.
Since the extension is part of the planned interceptor system for
the Monkey Junction area, and the mobile home park has a waste
treatment plant which produces approximately 37,000 gallons of
wastewater per day, staff recommends approval. Based on the
District's existing treatment cost and the present sewer rates, it
would take approximately four years to receive an equivalent amount
of money spent for construction from user fees.
Vice-Chairman Barone reported on discussing this matter with
the County Engineer, Wyatt Blanchard, who informed her that if
problems should be found or the cost should exceed $75,000 the
District would not move forward with this project.
Motion: District Commissioner Sisson MOVED, SECONDED by District
Commissioner Caster to approve the request for extending the 24
inch sewer interceptor to serve the Royal Palms Mobile Home Park at
a cost not to exceed $75,000 and to approve the following Budget
Amendment. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
