O C T ' 2 2 19 80 BooK 45 PACE 82 FURTHER FELT THAT ITEM 4 WHERE MR. LINER TALKS ABOUT TELLING THE DEVELOPER WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE CAPACITY AND RETURNING HIS MONEY COULD PUT US IN A REAL PICKLE AND THAT IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE BOARD MANDATE THAT AFTER WE REACH A CERTAIN POINT, NO DEVELOPER AGREEMENT WILL BE ENTERED INTO WITHOUT SHOWING THERE IS ADEQUATE CAPACITY TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR NEEDS UP TO THE EXTENT OF THE AGREEMENT. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT AGREED AND FELT WE SHOULD REQUIRE THE DEVELOPER TO BEAR THE COST OF THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS ENOUGH CAPACITY. MR. LINER POINTED OUT THAT AS WE APPROACH THE NUMBER OF UNITS WE KNOW WE CAN SERVICE, ANYONE WHO CAME IN FOR MORE GALLONS THAN WE WOULD HAVE, WOULD BE TURNED DOWN. HE BELIEVED THAT WE ALREADY HAVE THE MECHANISM TO DETERMINE THIS. HE NOTED THAT WITH THE 600,000 GPD WATER ALLOCATION, WE CAN HAVE ABOUT 400 MORE UNITS BEFORE WE HAVE OUR OWN PLANT IN OPERATION, AND AS WE GET CLOSE TO THAT AMOUNT, WE COULD MODIFY THAT NUMBER ACCORDING TO ACTUAL EXPERIENCE AND DEMAND, ADMINISTRATOR NELSON AGREED THAT THIS JUST INVOLVES SIMPLE ARITHMETIC. ENGINEER ROBBINS ASSURED THE BOARD THAT KEEPING UP WITH THE BOOKS ON THE NUMBER OF UNITS AVAILABLE IS QUITE SIMPLE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT THE SECOND PARAGRAPH OF THE MEMO STATES THAT WHEN THE SYSTEM REACHES A DESIGN DEMAND OF HO% OF MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF THE SYSTEM, A LIMITED RATE OF CONNECTION WILL BE IMPOSED, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED HIM THAT WE ARE CLOSE TO THAT POINT RIGHT NOW. ATTORNEY COLLINS SUGGESTED THAT A TIME BE SET, PERHAPS THREE MONTHS, TO ADVERTISE IN THE PAPER THAT CONTIGUOUS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY, AND OTHER EXISTING STRUCTURES; THEN AFTER THREE MONTHS, WE WOULD DRAW THE LINE AND SEE HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL CAPACITY IS AVAILABLE AND THEN PUT IT OUT TO DEVELOPERS TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN SERVICE. m
