had received a telephnne call from Ben O~Neal, Sanitary
Engineer with the Palm Beach County Health Depto, asking
if application had been made for extension of the water main
on S.. Federal Hwy., as he had noticed pipe placed along the
roadway and thought that the application and plans might have
been sent directly to the Health Dept. at Jacksonville.
The City Hanager told Mr. 0'Neal that because the
developers were handling the engineering that possibly they
had prepared the permit but he would investigate immediately.
City Manager Lawson then contacted Mr. B. L. Cares,
local representative of Elliott Gross & Associates, asking
him to make sure the proper application and plans were filed
with the Palm Beach County Health Dept. Following this, the
Manager explained to Mr. O'Neal that the application was being
prepared and that it would be forwarded to him as soon as pos-
sible after completion.
The City Manager also called }ir. Nord in the State
Health Department in Jacksonkille and explained to him the
status o£ the project, inquiring if he (Mr. Nord) could give
verbal permission for the work to proceed pending receipt
of the application and plans. Mr. Nord stated that Mr. O*Neal*s
approval would be sufficient, however, the City Manager
learned this week that Mr. O tNeal would rather have the
Jacksonville office approve t~ plans.
The Manager further stated that up to the present time,
the Health Department has neither approved nor disapproved
the application, which, undoubtedly, has not been received
by that department, but should reach the office of the Health

department today or tommorrowo There is, of course, the
possibility of disapproval by the Health department based
on the color of the water, previeusly criticized by the
de, partment in conjunction with the origin of Jefferson.Manor

ruptcy prior to completien of the project,
The City Attorney informed the Con~nission that he knows
of no law controlling installation of water mains to Sub-
divisions coming within the jurisdiction and under the ad-
ministrative powees of the Health Department, which group,
by virtue of powers vested therein, could condemn the water
to be distributed through the mains if cause for such action
was determined to exist.
Commissioner Cromer moved that the City Manager be author-
lzed to proceed with the installation of the transmission
manins and pipe lines for the distribution system For supply-
ing water to Tropic Isle S/D, as appears of record according
to the plat thereof recorded in the office of the Clerk of
