OPEN SESSION P=resident Svore called the meeting back into Open Session at 10:22 R.M. The District's attorney, Mr, West had a statement as follows: Curring the hour of Executive Session, the Board discussed the items on the agenda that relate to our negotiations with Independent American relating to the sewage treatment plant and plant site, particularly the contract that the Texas Water~ Commission staff is asking the District to enter into before going forward with the bond issue. It is my undere standing from the discussion we have had in Executive Session that the Board's instruction to me are to continue those negotiations with Independent American with the hopes we can achieve a written agreement as quickly as possible, knowi ng that it may take a number of weeks or perhaps even months before it can come to pass. But, MUD #1 wants to negotiate such a contract in good faith and wants the contract to establish once and for all in writing so there is no furrther dispute what the rights of MUD #1 are regarding the sewer plant, the site, who is going to operate the sewer punt and :so forth under the Master District Contract. And, that al 1 of that should be done in a fair and reasonable manner to accomplish the goals of MUD #1 as they have been set up previously, I expect to go into negotiations to accomplish that, MUD #1 clearly recognizes that it owes money to Independent American for the additional capacity that has been added to the p1 ant and Independent American is entitled to get paid for that. And, that is what the bond issue i attempting to do. Page 5> MUD #] MINUTES MARCH 28, 1989 ATTORNEY'S STATEMENT CONT Mr. West then asked the Board if that was a fair summary.
