MINUTES OF THE L.C.W.S.D. COMMITTEE June 3, 1987 The Committee appointed to study the Lamar County Water Supply District request to connect to the City of Paris' 33" water transmission main in the area of Campbell Soup met June 3, 1987, 4:00 P. M., Conference Room, City Hall. Chairman Clifford called the meeting to order with the following members present: Councilman Bone, and Councilman Kent. Also present was City Manager, Michael E. Malone, City Attorney, T. K. Haynes, Director of Finance, W. E. Anderson, Interim City Engineer, Richard Babb, and City Clerk, Mattie Cunningham. Chairman Clifford questioned Mr. Alton Dockery, Manager of the Lamar County Water Supply District, as to why they wanted to connect to our 33" water transmission main between the Water Treatment Plant and Campbell Soup. Mr. Dockery told the Committee that Lamar County Water Supply District needed the water, and that the water would not be going through the City's distribution system, which would be more cost effective to the Lamar County Water Supply District, and they would not have to go back and tie on to our line.

Discussion was had with Mr. Hayter and Mr. Dockery regarding the Lamar County Water Supply District's contract with the City of Paris regarding their payment for distribution and maintenance cost. Discussion was also had about the possibility of running a water line to connect with the City's water line on 19th N. W. in order for the City of Paris to utilize the line. Mr. Dockery stated that one problem would be the type of pipe used by Lamar County Water Supply District which is C200 where the City of Paris uses C900. It was suggested that the City of Paris pay the difference in cost of the two types of pipe if the line is constructed to connect with the City of Paris's water line on 19th N. W. Chairman Clifford advised those present that the committee would leave discussion open with Lamar County Water Supply District, and the
