Consideration and Adoption of 1997-98 City/District Sewer Service Fund Budget
Executive Director Barnes noted this budget is 9.1 percent less than last yeads budget. The
system is continually being improved and the Sewer Treatment Plant gradually upgraded. The major
equipment purchase scheduled for this fiscal year will be a new sewer cleaning truck to replace the
present truck which is a well-worn 1985 model.
Discussion took place on the purchasing procedure for the new truck and the eventual ownership
of the truck. City procedures are followed for the bid process. The truck will be used in the District
as well as the City.
City Attorney Rapport noted the acquisition of equipment, and ownership rights thereto, are not
specifically mentioned in the agreement under which the City and the Sanitation District operate the
sewer system. This concern should be addressed at a later date.

fees, were legitimate fees for the District to pay the City. Councilmembers and Directors needed
