Motion and second by Aldermen Hartford/Moiieck, the ordinance be placed on its passage. Discussion. Alderman Sarff remarked he has a great concern entering into this agreement. Maurer Stutz Inc. reported that the City has plenty of water. The variables don't work out the way I thought they would. The question that I have, if we do have enough water, and the wells are turned on everybody's water bills goes up. A large amount of city residents do not want to subsidize, not even in the city. Alderman Molleck remarked he respectfully disagree's with Alderman Sarff, as he feels the city's engineers are correct. We have to make improvements to the water plant and stay within the IEPA regulations. Alderman Carl remarked he has some of the same concerns as Alderman Sarff. I have reviewed Maurer Stutz Inc statement, where is this water? The City should not subsidize the rate to pay for the water of the Ethanol Plant. Alderman Hartford remarked the City is not paying for the pipe line, and I still feel it is a win-win situation. Alderman Reed remarked, could the possibility of the Ethanol Plant if the pumps are turned on, the cost would not be paid by the citizens. of this community? If a resolution could be presented that would state that the water rate would for the citizens not increase when the wells are turned on, and the wells cost be paid by the Ethanol Plant. Mayor Bohler said that they could go back to the Ethanol committee and ask them to pay 376 Council meeting May 18, 2004 Alderman Molleck said the way he reads the contract we are selling it for more that what it cost us to make it. It is not the Ethanol Plants idea for the 16 inch water line, that is the City's idea. Mayor Bohler said we are going to have to look at a water source and the Water Plant and Wastewater Plant will need further updates.
