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.
