APR 2 0 1989 BOOK 73 f'A.GE 66 rate setting." He wished to make it clear that when you talk about nondiscriminatorty manner, it would relate to the cost of rendering that service. He did not want to have the Commission sit here 5 years from now and a surcharge is added and we say is that what it meant. County Attorney Vitunac noted that the county rate treats all alike. This would be a wholesale rate. City Manager Little agreed and stated that the City does not have a surcharge on wholesale rates; with wholesale, you are just looking at the cost of delivering a product to a particular delivery point, whether it is water, sewer, or electric. Commissioner Scurlock wished to have some more specific language regarding that, and Attorney Vitunac suggested that we just add wording stating that this "shall not include any surcharge." City Manager Little had no objection to that language being added to the agreement to preclude that possibility. He noted that is not the way you do wholesale rates in any event. Commissioner Scurlock then wished to be clear re the terms of our indemnification under Paragraph 6. The way he read it is that our 400,000 gpd allocation, plus the release of 200,000 gpd from the Hospital District, would equate to a 600,000 gpd allocation, and he assumed we are indemnifying the City for anything above that 600,000 gpd. In other words, the notice to the Commission and staff is that we are assuming liability for any extension of service beyond that 600,000 gpd on a temporary basis. City Manager Little stated that is correct, and further noted that when Mr. Pinto and Mr. Goff sign off on the DER form to be submitted to him for signature, they are on the hook for all of us because they are saying we can submit it to the DER because by the time this plant needs this capacity, the County plant will be able to handle it. 10
