Scott Carlson, owner and developer of Rock Creek Ranch, stated than past and future history of Superior and Louisville are tied together. Superior's major c;oncern at this point is how can the original residents of Superior get water service. There has been an existing contract in place since 1982 and as with any contract is open to interpretation,. ''As a property owner in Superior, what we would like to have is some type of understanding, some type of agreement or pro- cess by which we c;an move forward to get water service to the original residents of Town, not to my project. I do:n't think the contract even as amended envisions service to Rock Creek Ranch in total because the scope of the infrastructure will not currently handle the area. I would like at some point in time work with your staff and Council to talk about regionalization of utilities with Rock Creek Ranch paying our fair share and helping to upgrade the facilities in the entire Coal Creek, Rock Creek, Basin." "We would like to have some type of clear direction, some type of process that we c,an enter into that would get us from where we are to where we need to be and where we need to bei~,iate~r for 250 residents in the Town of Superior so they can have an increased quality of life... " Mohr stated that .it is clear to him that during the negotiations of the original 1982 Water Agree- ment with the Town of Superior both parties had something to bring to the table - the City of Louisville was in need of a sewer agreement with the Town of Superior and Superior 'wanted to ensure that sometime in •the future they may have access to water without having to go into the investment themselves. "It seems to me that we have somewhat of a problem and this is not so much a modification of our existing Agreement as it is a proposal for an entirely new agreement. Most of the articles...speak to changing the content, the substance of that Agreement in its entirety and the real question that I have to ask of myself ...what is it you bring to the table for us. You are asking us to change everything as I read it to your favor.''' Ms. Belston responded stating that what the Town of Superior has to offer the City of Louisville is $600,000 in tap fees. Beyond that if there are any ideas that Louisville would like to propose, the Town of Superior would consider those proposals. The Town Board is fully aware that Louisville wall most likely want to negotiate in the proposed amendment. 7
