RE: Utility Appraisal
Dear John:
I would like to express that the County is desirous of and
anticipating the formation of a utility authority for the benefit
of the entire Okeechobee community. We recognize that this is an
extremely important development to the growth and stability of
Okeechobee.
I have had the opportunity to brief the Commissioners on the
discussion we had on Monday, February 15, 1993 relative to the
utility appraisal.
Be reminded that the majority of the discussions have been between
the Chairman and the Mayor, so the Commissioners had to be briefed
in total as to the progress and process thus far. There appeared
to be one common question that appeared as a result of the
briefings. When the appraisal is completed and a dollar value has
been determined, how will that dollar value be utilized in the
development of the authority? As rumors run rampant, it was
determined to be important to have a statement from the City as to
the appraisal's purpose, prior to reconsidering the appraisal
process.
Please respond as quickly as possible so this issue, (the
appraisal) can be resolved.
Sincerely,
vid R'vera
Acti Cou ty Administrator
