A Special Meeting of the City Council of the City of Clermont was held in the
office of the City Manager on Thursday, December 13, 1973. The meeting was
called to order at 3:30 P. M. by Mayor Claude E. Smoak, Jr. with the following
members present: Councilmen Schroedel, Czech and Byrd. Others present were:
City Manager Hopkins, City Clerk Carroll, Director of Community Services Smythe,
Director of Public Utilities Mitchell and Dave Crowson of Dawkins and Associates,
Inc.
Mayor Smoak announced the purpose of the meeting was to receive a report from
the consulting engineers on the municipal water system and to discuss proposed
grant application for federal funds in 1975.
Mr. Crowson submitted detailed copies and maps to Council of the engineers studies
and survey of the existing water system and their recommendations for improvements
to the system. He briefly summarized the report orally and pointed out there was
an immediate Deed for an additional well and enough water mains to complete a loop
of;the existing system, and still another well and a 500,000 gallon elevated water
storage tank in 1975 or early 1976.
Motion was made by Councilman Byrd, seconded by Councilman Czech and carried that
the municipal water supply system report, as submitted by Dawkins and Associates,
Inc. be accepted.
It was the opinion of Mayor Smoak that Council should thoroughly familiarize
themselves with the report and discuss the various recommendations in a regular
meeting of Council before taking any action, and Council was in agreement with
this.
Mr. Crowson also reported to Council that in order to be considered for 1975
government funding to assist in the needed improvements of the sanitary sewer
system, that an application would have to be resubmitted and that additional data
to accompany the application was now necessary in order to perfect it, namely,
report of a public hearing held, a facilities plan, and an infiltration inflow analysis.
He further reported that the engineers had no definite cost for obtaining this
additional information, but that it should not exceed $5,000.00 and that deadline
dates for submitting applications and the additional information had been set at
January 1, 1974 and March 1, 1974 respectively.
Mayor Smoak requested that Council consider these recommendations for discussion
at a future date and requested that Mr. Crowson inquire of the Department of Health
and Rehabilitative Services if landspreading of effluent is allowable on citrus
groves where the only crop grown is for processed products only.
The meeting was adjourned by Mayor Smoak.
