that the rate for the power would be .1~ per KWH but would have to be under a five
year
contract.
The City Manager then submitted estimates compiled by Engineer Robert M. Angas which
showed purchase power for pumping the City's water supply at the well fields and water plant
would cost $10,367.00 per year, against $12,139.00 with d~eael power.

the contract would have to be executed and turned over to the power company before they made
Investment in the project. He further advised that the contract would be the same as the City
had with his company for furnishing power for the Sewage Disposal Plant at tbs Naval Air Station.

ments. They at,ted that additional information would have to be obtained from the City Clerk
before making a direct proposal, but felt that the proposed revenues from sewer service charges
to customers might be sufficient for financing the sewerage project. Mr. Gunby stated that
what the City needed most was a Financial Advisor, a leo, that approximately 60 days would be
required before any bonds could be ~old. In making their proposals he recom~ended that they be
allowed to make a straight Fiscal Agency proposal or combination - - the latter based on
financial advice along with the bid.
