Item 4 - Change Order Mayor Fulp asked if the matter had been referred to the Utilities Commission and Public Utilities Director Evans answered it had not. Director Evans explained the four water -line replacement projects were budgeted in the capital improvement budget and they were combined as all four needed to be done. The State Health Department did state that the two projects already designed must be completed this fiscal year. Director Evans belied this process would be a larger project and should attract more bidders, drive the unit price down and the City could deal with one contractor. The City would be disrupted only one time. He said the request was to have the engineering consultant who designed the first two projects go ahead and design the other two projects and package them into one big design. Motion by Mayor Fulp, seconded by Councilmember Bennett, to approve the change order in the amount of $36,340 for John Egan and Associates for professional engineering services for the water -line replacements. Motion carried unanimously. Item 5 - Cease and Desist Order #95-36 Councilmember Sanders expressed unease at the open-ended statement under Financial Impact, which listed possible expenditures of between 6 and 40 million dollars, a gap of 38 million dollars. Director Evans believed the project would come in at between eight to ten million dollars. He said the high-end figure was if Council decided to build the ultimate facility and that the 8-10 million dollar figure represented the current retro -fitting and to add additional capacity to the facility. Motion by Councilmember Sandoval, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to accept staff recommendation and approve Resolution No. R-119-95. Unanimous vote. RESOLUTION NO. R-119-95 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON ADOPTING AND COMMITTING TO PLANS AND SCHEDULES FOR COMPLIANCE WITH CEASE AND DESIST ORDER #95-36. Item 6 - Agreement for Future Annexation Mayor Fulp asked about entering into annexation now. City Attorney Biggs advised that this could be done. She explained that the City frequently gets requests for service from areas the City wishes to annex. Since the City would have to provide other services, the City obtains agreements so that as the number of parcels come together and get to be contiguous, the City can then annex the entire area. The City has the authority to require annexation as a condition of the extension of utility services. Staff indicated 4 DEC 0 9 1995
