FEB 20 1985' BOOK 59 Fa.Gc 9S Mr. Little felt, in fact, there are loads that ought to be shifted and possibly some pumping costs could be relieved. Commissioner Scurlock agreed that at some time we will have to square up some service areas for the benefit of the customers. Administrator Wright noted that then what we are saying is that if we build a north county plant, we will have to add 250,000 gallons of capacity with no offsetting revenues, if the City asks for it. Commissioner Scurlock felt you always have that gap - just like our plant out on SR 60. We are going to have a one million gpd plant committed, and there is noway in ten years we will have one million gallons into that plant. Mr. Little commented that if you ever had a plant operating within 250,000 gallons of capacity, he would be amazed. Discussion continued re language, and Commissioner Scurlock stated that he could go along with language for either a north or south county plant, when it is built. Attorney Brandenburg agreed. The Administrator emphasized that he wanted to leave in the 48 month time frame, and City Manager Little stated that is not a problem. Discussion again arose as to the wording regarding "operating and committed capacity" of the City's plant, and Mr. Little noted that they have said 85% of the design capacity rating of the plant - that should be around 4.5 million and possibly somewhat higher than that. Commissioner Wodtke asked about eliminating "committed," and Mr. Little pointed out if they just said operating, that gives the City the same problem that 6th Avenue gives the County. If the City has committed gallonage, then it, in effect, is utilized plant capacity. Director Pinto agreed that if the City commits to someone and someone is paying a reservation fee, then that capacity in the plant is used. 78
