i deport on the Municipal Water District water rates.
i The Council was informed that the City Manager, City i : Attorney, Director of Finance met with Mr. Swirsky i i and Mr. Tucker from the Municipal Water District to : : discuss the feasibility of installing five regulabry meter;. i The Municipal Water District asked that the Council go I i on record in favor of making the installation of five 1 ; regulatory meters. They feel the city will save money i i if they are installed as there will be a more accurate ; ; count of the water used. I
i Cmn, Guevara was present at ?:40 P, M.
! The District has Changed the tax rate, as it is their in- I i tention to raise more money from the taxes to retire I I : their bonds. They are trying to work out a system where: i by the bonds can be retired from funds received by 50% : ; taxation and 50% assessment. I
i The Council asked where they had suggested these meter4 i placed and they were informed at the Ellery Zteservoir, : ; Chestnut and Monroe, Valley and Basswood, #2 reservoi$ i and Buena Vista and Arnold. 1
I Discussion was given as to whether the installation of :
i these meters at a cost of $2500.00 would benefit the City i i or whether it would benefit the LViunicipal Water District. :
i Et was further pointed out the Municipal has asked that : i the city use more Colorado aiver water rather than the i : San Luis Rey water, The Finance Director advised the : i Council the cost of using the San Luis itey River water i : is about half of what the Colorado River water costs. 1 I
