The following memorandum was received from James Ajax, Director of Community Development:
"...As stated in my memorandum of March 3, 1977, such an intertie is estimated
to have a cost on the order of $130,000 for the Pasco side. There are a
number of unknowns which can only be answered after a consultant has investi-
gated the subject in detail. For certain, however, if the project is going
to occur, the following should start immediately:
1. Construct 1,250 feet of 16 -inch line on 10th Avenue south of
Ainsworth. Cost $31,250 - approximately $17,000 in cash from
Water/Sewer Fund and the remainder from Pipe Inventory.
2. Hire Arvid Grant & Associates to design pipe and appurtenances on
structure. $6,500 from Water/Sewer Fund.
The remainder of the expense ($90,000) would be a 1978 utility expense most
probably..."
