It is recommended that the City accept the job that has been completed by Brown Excavation Company.

The total amount of the project was $1,102.00 Whetsler advises we do not report to the Tax Commission, but that 15% has been retained.

Went over many points in general of agreement that we may enter in with P.U.D. and the matter was referred to James Leavy, Attorney for the Utility District. The Agreement hasn''t been completed but as soon as Mr. Leavy completes this to his satisfaction and to the satisfac- tion of the City Attorney -- we will call a committee meeting with all members of the council and make a study of this - recommend entering into this agreement. One request made by P.U.D. =— that we sell water to them on the basis of 6� per 100 cu ft on bulk usage. Discussion was entered into)with City Attorney relative to the manner in which this should be done. Present ordinance calls for 7C to all users -- in this situation what is needed? etc. Patrick advises, that this will probably require an amendatory ordinance. Certain points were specifically set forth as to why the City feels that they can furnish water to the P.U.D. at 6�: P.U.D. WILL BE DOING ALL METER READING, ALL BILLING, ALL THEIR OWN ACCOUNTING: THEY WILL BE DOING ALL THEIR OWN SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE WORK, ALL THEIR OWN PIPE LAYING, REPAIR WORK AND ANY IMPROVE- MENT OR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT TO THEIR SYSTEM. If the City does any of the work, it will be on a time and material rate. Taking all these factors into account, it takes them out of the normal structure t that goes to make up our basic plan -- we can feasibly sell water to P.U.D. at 6� instead of 7t -- We are not giving anything away.-- they are assuming some of the costs that we normally carry. The people who purchase the water from -the P.U.D. will be paying 7t the same as anyone else in town. Patrick points out that the P.U.D. will also be assuming some of the risk -- they will be carrying the insurance on this system.
