A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE
VILLAGE OF KEY BISCAYNE, FLORIDA, URGING MIAMI-
DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, THROUGH ITS WATER AND
SEWER AUTHORITY DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE FOR
NECESSARY WATERLINE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
VILLAGE OF KEY BISCAYNE IN ADVANCE OF THE
VILLAGE'S SANITARY SEWER PROJECT; PROVIDING
FOR EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Village of Key Biscayne (the "Village") is in the process of awarding bids
for the construction of a sanitary sewer improvement project (the "Project") of approximately
$8,000,000.00 in construction costs; and
WHEREAS, the construction of the Project will require substantial excavation and work
within the public right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, an opportunity presently exists for the County's old 1960's vintage asbestos
concrete pipes which provide water service to be replaced by new water pipes, in advance of the
construction of the Project; and
WHEREAS, the replacement of the old waterlines with new modern waterlines would help
to reduce conflicts with underground utilities affecting the Project and would provide the community
with the necessary enhanced water delivery system; and
WHEREAS, it is equitable that the County, through the Water and Sewer Authority
Department ("WASA") fund the cost of the improved waterlines, in light of the fact that the residents
of the Village, both prior to and after incorporation of the Village, have been paying a portion of
their utility bill to WASA for the purpose of repair and replacement of waterlines and such repair
and replacement has not previously been provided by WASA to the full extent in which they were
intended to be provided.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE
VILLAGE OF KEY BISCAYNE, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the above recitals are hereby adopted and confirmed.
Section 2. That the Board of County Commissioners and County Administration are
respectfully requested, acting through WASA, to provide for the full funding of improvements to
the water distribution system serving the Village of Key Biscayne in advance of the Village's
construction of the sanitary sewer Project.
Section 3. That the Village Clerk shall provide for a copy of this Resolution to be provided
to the Honorable Mayor and Board of County Commissioners and to the Honorable County
Manager.
Section 4. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon adoption
hereof.
AT
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 16th day of November, 1999.
