MINUTES OF THE L.C.W.S.D. COMMITTEE August 17, 1987 The Committee appointed to study the Lamar County Water Supply District request to connect to the City of Paris' thirty -three inch (33 ") water transmission main in the area of Campbell Soup met August 17, 1987, at 4:00 p.m., in the City Manager Conference Room, City Hall.

K.Haynes, Finance Director W. E. Anderson, E.I.T. Mike Tibbets, and Assistant City Clerk Barbara Denny. The Committee received copies of information which was discussed by Lamar County Water Supply District which contained four points that they were favorably disposed toward. These points are as follows: 1. Reduce L.C.W.S.D.'s right to take through City's distribution system by the amount of the eliminated meters (meters being eliminated by N.E. Loop - 10 inch tap are East, Northeast and North) and N.W. Loop (meters being eliminated by N.W. Loop are Northwest ?, West). v2. Agree upon the specific limit of each distribution system meter through which L.W.S.D. retains right to take. 3. L.C.W.S.D. is granted the right to tap on the 33 inch transmission line between Water Treatment Plant and Campbell Soup with L.C.W.S.D. paying a proportionate part of the capital cost based upon its take through this tap as compared to the remainder of the flow through the 33 inch transmission line. The City has the right to oversize at its expense and to purchase for $1.00 that portion of the NW. Loop from 33 inch transmission main to the West boundary line of 19th Street N.W. 4. City is granted right to sell to Marvin - Jennings - Clardy. City's sale to M.J.C. would be as required by ordinance, double City water rates. IF CITY CAN BECOME AGREEABLE FOR L.C.W.S.D.

Members of the Committee wanted to know what loss there would be in the distribution system under this new agreement. Councilman Bone stated he felt points 1, 2, 3, and 4 were contingent upon the bottom item. Council discussed the option that L.C.W.S.D. wanted in regards to building a new reservoir. John Buss informed the Committee that there was still an option open for the City concerning M.J.C. Councilman Bone wanted to know the amount of money which was involved if the City obtained M.J.C.

Mr. Clifford also stated that M.J.C. has approached the City several times in the last few months concerning water being obtained from the City. Councilman Bone questioned M.J.C.'s price from the County versus the price from the City which would be a double rate. John Buss explained the rates of the City versus the rates
