Utilities Commission Chairperson Butler said there were two issues: The RIX project is well under way and this money is to enlarge the sewer plant. Mrs. Ferrante said that if there was no fund, she was misinformed. Councilmember Cook complimented the Utilities Commission, former and present, for their tremendous contribution. Discussion ensued as to tier -rate structure, conventional versus unconventional systems, SARI capacity and fiscal recovery. Mayor Fulp suggested a Joint session be conducted at 4:00 P. M. on May 16, 1995. Mr. Gene McMeans, 2025 Glenwood, spoke about $65,000, under litigation, to complete the lift station and RIX project going on line in June. He felt it necessary to let Manager Lavin understand the need for completion by September. Councilmember Sandoval restated his previous motion to (1) increase the sewer rate to $18.50, upon appropriate public hearing on May 2, 1995; (2) appeal requirement by Regional Water Board; (3) direct Utilities Commission to explore alternatives and (4) take necessary steps to safeguard funds. The motion was previously seconded by Councilmember Hutton and carried by unanimous vote. Mr. Fred Cordova suggested that there be a motion to rescind both contracts. Mayor Fulp stated there could be no action as this issue was not agendized and the sewer rate was not adopted at this time. Councilmember Beltran urged Council to approve the recommendations found in Manager Lavin's report of March 23, 1995: (1) Approve setting of public hearing on May 2, 1995 for the setting of sewer rates and connection fees and authorizing the City Treasurer to separate the sewer revenues from the General Fund investment pool on April 11, 1995; (2) approve Krieger and Stewart as consulting engineers for the one million gallon plant expansion project in the amount of $250,000; and, (3) authorize withdrawal of the following contract award: (a) Construction contract to Mesa Contracting Corp., made October 18, 1994; (b) contract to LEMNA made on February 1, 1994 and (c) consulting engineer contract to Kennedy -Jenks made on March 15, 1994. It was noted that there was action as to Item 1 with balance to be discussed at a later time. ADJOURNMENT• At 5:47 P.
