amount of $1 00,000 to provide financial assistance to furnish labor, materials,
and equipment to plan and design wastewater facilities and acquisition of the
plant site (Greater Big Coppitt service area).
2. FK.AA has identified two potential plant sites on Rockland Key and have
conducted initial geo-technical verification ofthese sites. Preliminary
negotiations are being conducted concerning both sites for determination of

updated finance modeling scenarios and capital costs estimates as to projected
system development fees and monthly service fees. The update is expected to
be complete by mid-November.
Summary:
1. The FK.AA is continuing to internally develop a realistic comprehensive approach
to wastewater compliance for the greater Big Coppitt area for review by the
residents, County and the FKAA Board of Directors

West Resort Utilities that details the financing, permitting, capital costs inclusive
of private connections and present such a proposal to the Board of Directors for
consideration.
