ciated water facility improvements. inasmuch as the City's Capital Improvements Program estimates the construction of the Howard Berry Water Treat- ment Plant in 1991 or 1992 and the City is contem- plating the placement of a 1.5 agd elevated water tank at this alt., City staff feel it important to begin the process of annexing this 7.5 acre site to the City of Louisville. Carnival asked why this annexation referral is before Council at this time. Hundley responded stating that since this facility is for the City of Louisville, it should be annexed to the City. Secondly, the City may con- struct an elevated water tank and would need to go through a County approval process for the use of the site for an elevated storage tank should the City choose not to annex the site. Inasmuch as the City intends to annex the site anyway, Hundley recoaaended that the the City proceed with the annexation process at this time. Mayor Pauson moved that Council refer this annexation request to the Louisville Planning Commission. Mohr seconded, Unanimous. APPROVAL OP S.T.S. CONTRACT FOR TRANSPORTATION Hundley reminded Council that during budget deliberations for FY 1987, the issue of providing transportation at perhaps a lower cost was discussed. In 1986, approximately $13,500 was expended for 30 hours per week for transportation for the City's seniors. Frisk* explained that this proposal is with Special Transit System for a cost of $5,360 annually to provide service to Louisville with emphasis on elderly and disabled individuals. This proposed contract provides for 37 1/2 hours of transportation service weekly. Initially, the City of Louisville vans would be used to provide the service; sometime in April, STS expects to have their own van to be used under this contract. STS has been providing service to Louisville for the last few weeks. Cathy Bittler, Senior Coordinator, met with STS working out sections of the contract including the adjustment of the schedule so that a person could be taken to a health facility, i.e., the 24 hour Emergency Care Facility, without making an eppointrent Z4 hours in advance. 3
