City Council Water & Sewer Subcommittee May 15, 2003 Page 20 circumstance would the city be able to actually run 36 million gallons a day through that plant because the city does not have the available water to do it. He said that there are many variables in this and the time of the year is going to make a difference. He said before we sit down with our contract customers like Lamar County Water Supply or anyone else who might wish to have the availability of more water, we had to have the production study completed. He said that before the city can negotiate that contract or any contract, the city needs the results of that study to know what capacity is available because the city does not know. Chairman Plata gave a handout and advised that this is a schedule that Mr. Campbell gave him for Water Production. He has been looking at this and, if he is reading it correctly, the number two' s are day personnel; they work in the daytime. Mr. Campbell said that is correct. Chairman Plata said the number three's works on the shift, 4:00 P.M. to midnight. The number one's work nights, midnight to 8:00 A.M.

Mr. Campbell went back and explained that the first shift is from midnight to 8:00 A.M., the second shift goes from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. and the third shift is from 4:00 P.M. to midnight. Councilwoman Neeley said that anything that is a two is from 8:00A.M. to 4:00 P.M. She said she sees what Chairman Plata is saying, all these maintenance workers are designated as two's, which is the 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. shift, except for two which are on the night shift, and she wanted to know what happens on that night shift. Mr. Campbell advised that they do not do maintenance on that shift. He said that they do not need to do
