20 THURSDAY DECEMBER 20, 1973 ~ .-.--, County in relationship to the capacity needed, and especially there was provision for purchase by the County of the privilege to use a portion of the capacity of the existing plant. This approach was to determine the total value of the existing plant, including Debt Service, the relationship of that total value to each 1,000 gallons of waste to be treated, with the resultant calculation indicating the sum of $494.49 per 1,000 gallons. Then, this unit cost would be applied to the amount of capacity needed by the County, on a "pay as you go" basis. For example, the present average volume of ,....-..... waste treated for the County is approximately 82,000 gallons per day, which would result in a first year pay-in by the County in the amount of $40,548.18, with subsequent annual payments to be similarly calculated as treatment volumes increase. After some discussion of this proposal, Council, on motion duly made and seconded, approved the concept as outlined. At this point there were questions by the County as to whether this position represented an ultimatum, but Council stated that this official action constitutes an official guideline for the City's negotiator. Council stressed that the City could not set aside, in perpeturity, a portion of the plant, through designation of plant capacity, because it is an asset which has been bought by its citizens, without recompense. The two governing bodies requested the respective negotiators to come in with a joint proposal by January 8, or by January 14, as the very latest date. The meeting was adjourned. ,,/ g /;:;C(4~1- T.
