Special !Meting - July 24, . Mayor Meier advised that another meeting 1984 had been set up with the Citizens Water Com- mittee for Tuesday, July 24th; but if all the information requested could be available by then he felt Council would have time to discuss this since the time frame for Homart was August 1st, 1984. It was decided a Special Meeting would be hold July 24, 1984 7:00 P.M. meet with the Citizens Water Com- mittee and at 7:30 P.M. to discuss the Howard Berry Plant fast track project. Councilman Luce Commented that the proposal presented was in- triguing as evidenced by the fact that Council is willing to consider goind to the next step to continue looking at it. His concerns were not whether as much could be done in terms of timing, etc. , but were financial in nature. Whether we could put together a financial package that would fly. He did not feel that even though tap fees are raised frequently they still don't seem to cover the expenses involved. He favored the upfront tap fee collection= but would like to discourage bond funding at this time. Councilman Fauson Commented that a lot of work had gone into the proposal by Homart and KKBNA and wished to thank them for that. He was concerned that if a special meeting was held on July 24th and Council has to take sage kind of actiart beforr, August lst, could it be done at that time. The reply was that it could.

All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Metes' Mayor Meier called a recta; at 10:02 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 10:15 P.M.
