owners of property to be assessed within proposed Local Improvement District No. 2007-1
("L.I.D. No. 2007-1") may appear before the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Eagle
(the "City") and be heard as to the propriety and advisability of creating L.I.D. No. 2007-1 and
acquiring and financing the Project, as hereinafter described, and as the time and place when and
where the Council will consider the creation of the proposed L.I.D. No. 2007-1 and the
acquisition of the proposed Project, and hear all complaints, protests, and objections which may
be made in writing and filed with the City Clerk on or before said time, by any owner of any
parcel of land to be assessed. This item was continued from the September 11, 2007 meeting.
Mayor introduces the issue.
Mayor reopens the Public Hearing
Mayor swears in Don Marrs
Don Marrs, 2384 Edgewood Road, I would like my name added to the list of the people who do
not wish to be included in this LID. Edgewood Road is a mile and half from the nearest water
and this would only serve 11 households. I have talked to people on my street and no one wants
to hook up to the water so why is the City spending this money.
Mayor swears in Scott Ruelas
Scott Ruelas, 220 S. Edgewood Lane, I current own two adjacent parcels and I have a question if
the LID is adopted: will I just be assessed for fire flow. 1 have a creek and they could pump
water out of the creek. I have another parcel that is just my back yard how will this be assessed?
I am opposed to the LID.
Mayor swears in Jay Friday
Jay Friday, 1528 N. Sunup Way, 1 live in Brookwood and when I bought my house I paid $900
for my water rights. I think that there should be some breakout for people who can irrigate their
lawn.
Mayor swears in Robert Helton
Robert Helton, 1203 Cerramar Court, my main concern is that the water pressure in Eagle Hills
Subdivsion is inadequate and I'm wondering if the service line is big enough.
Mayor swears in Debra Helton
Page I
K9COUNCII lNUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-09-20-07min doc
Debra Helton, 1203 Cerramar Court, 1 have listen to the testimony. I like the idea that the City is
buying the Eagle Water Company, as I understand the other waters company's parent company is
in France. I am wondering about the price of repairs and if these costs are included in the price
of the LID. I want to see the City buy the Eagle Water Company but 1 would hope the Council
would look at the impact the LID will have on the citizens.
Mayor swears in Kathy Ball
Kathy Ball, 2291 N. Stonecrest Place, I have a question to the engineer. We paid hookup costs
when we bought our house and we will now have to pay an assessment for the LID and I am
wondering if people in the new West area will have to pay the LID assessment.
City Engineer, Vern Brewer: The LID is only paid by the people within that boundary. The other
fees like the STL Fees, Storage and Trunk Line Fee and Water Equivalency Fee, would be paid
by all those people who are not in the LID. It a party on a well right now and wanted to connect
the meter hookup fee is $850.00. If someone was not in the LID and wanted to hookup after the
LID was formed they would pay the $845.00, $1,500.00, and $450.00 for a total of $2,795.00.
Kathy Ball, I usually do not get involved in government affairs, my water bill is $160.00 a year in
Lexington Hills because we have separate irrigation. With the LID my water bill will double.
The City chose the back way by doing an LID so we have not vote. If United Water was to buy
Eagle Water they would have to prove to the PUC that they are paying a fair price. Please do not
add a water department to the City of Eagle.
Mayor swears in Harold Edwards
Harold Edwards, 865 Preakness Drive, Downing Downs Subdivision, after reviewing the terms
and conditions of the development of the LID I hereby oppose any further consideration of this
proposal. This proposal is more expensive than what the homeowners want to take on. I have a
well that meets our needs. I also have other sources of water for irrigation of property.
Discussion on drilling wells in the foothills.
Mayor swears in Mark Wald
Mark Wald, 2641 Edgewood Road off from Beacon Light, I certainly understand the LID. I have
a 5 acre lot and am wondering when we would have a benefit of this water. My well provides
water and I have surface water. I would like to know why 1 would be included since I will not
have access to the water.
Mayor swears in Bill Cohen
Bill Cohen, 349 W. State Street, We have a public relations disturbance here from past business
conduct. The way Planning and Zoning has handled development is a disturbance. This LID is
only going to serve a portion of the City of Eagle. I don't see a real business plan. 1 see this as a
vision but I don't see a business plan. I am totally against this. What percent of the City is being
serviced by this LID?
Mayor swears in Pat Hoskins
Pat Hoskins, 2665 N. Equestrian Place, My nearest fire hydrant is at Eagle Road and Floating
Feather. My wife and I would like to not be involved in this LID. 1 don't see how you can pick a
portion of the City to pay for this. 1 haven't seen a plan on where this money is going to go.
Mayor swears in Tim Adams
Tim Adams, 238 Mission Drive, I protest the inclusion of my property in the LID. United Water
stands ready to take over the Eagle Water Company without a LID. 1 want the least expensive
Page 2
K:'NCOUNCILUIINUTES.Temporary Minutes Work Area'\.CC-09-20-07rnin. doe
alternative. United Water rates may be higher but with the LID costs the City of Eagle's cost
will be more. People who are in wells if they are excluded the cost will be added to the other
homeowners. I am opposed to the LID and would prefer that United Water take over the
territory.
Mayor swears in Steve Kovach
Steve Kovach, 933 Steeple Drive, a petition has been signed by residents in the Downing Down
Subdivision opposing the LID. I used to live in Eagle Pointe and was concerned about the water
pressure levels. Local governments have been running water systems for 200 hundreds years and
they do a very good job. My issue is that the LID is just a drop in the bucket of what this will
cost us. We need to know what the true cost is to be onto the system if you are on a well. 1 have
heard a lot of rumors of what this cost would be.
Mayor swears in Mark Waterman
Mark Waterman, 270 S. Sophie Place, distributes written info to the Council, I understand that
there are 300 people who are affected by water pressure. That is less than 10% of the homes that
Eagle Water Serves. 1 understand that this water pressure issue has been going on for a long
time. The City has approved developments knowing about this water pressure issue. 1
understand that Greg Wyatt with United Water has stated that the Eagle Water Company is not
worth $7.2M. I also understand that United Water would not pay this amount of money for
Eagle Water Company. If the City goes ahead and does this without the citizens having a legal
vote then they will see some legal action against them. Discussion on water rates.
Mayor swears in Patrick Chapman
Patrick Chapman, 1570 N. Prestwick Way, I don't think it is right that the City of Eagle and the
Tax Collector should run me out of the County, I am on Social Security. I am in the low rent
district and there are only 3 houses on my street. The presentation was presently for upgrades to
the Eagle Water Company. In the pink City system it is relatively new. As far as fire 1 already
have that and 1 don't need that improvement. New development should pay for it and not us. I
guess I don't qualify to be left out of the LID because it is of no benefit to me.
Mayor swears in Tom Sorge
Tom Sorge, 2532 N. Edgewood, off Beacon Light, I previously spoke to be left out of this LID. 1
feel that there has not been enough information. What is the appraised value, what is value of
the assets, what is the value using the discounted cash flow method, how was the boundary
determined, and how will the assessment relate to the distance to the current system.
Mayor swears in John Kathmann
John Kathmann, 144 E. Fisher Street, South of Beacon Light, I have spoke at a prior time. I
would like the Council to change the criteria because 1 have a private well. Fire protection 1
would accept that as an assessment. The fire protection does not exist at this point in time for
properties like mine.
Mayor swears in Henry Clark
Henry Clark, 712 Kanob Pointe, I feel the plan may be legal but 1 don't think it is ethical. I do
not think the Council is treating its customer equally. I am retired and the fee we are paying now
is a very decent fee and with this it is going to go up and then we have to pay the LID. Our
homeowner's assessment fees will also go up.

Mayor swears in Terry Loftus
Terry Loftus, 216 Rene Place, it has been stressed fire protection; the closest fire hydrant is a
mile away from my house. Make the LID for the whole City. My subdivision has done a
petition to have our subdivision excluded from the LID.
Mayor swears in Joe Meadows
Joe Meadows, 636 Los Luceres Drive, I have a specific questions about the boundaries. Why
was the old Jaker's Tree Farm excluded? (City Engineer: that is not in the City limits) If that is
not in the City then I want to know why I am in the City. A few years ago we fought annexation
into the City and when we were on vacation we came back and found out we were annexed into
the City. We fought the property tax increases. No one in the subdivision wants to be included
in the LID because we have our own wells. One of my neighbors said if the LID is approved he
is going to start a class action lawsuit against the City.
Mayor swears in Lisa Mayer
Lisa Mayer, 2302 N. Aldercrest, I want to ditto some of the previous comments about the
business aspect of the LID. 1 want to talk to you about a trust issue. When we got notification
we got a handout but it did not give enough information. There are a lot of people in our city
who could analysis and give you perspective. General discussion. I know that water rights are
very important. If water rights are driving this it should be the whole city. This needs to be
analyzed from a business perspective. Is the assessment based on usage or acreage? 1 would be
interested in knowing how you came up with the value of Eagle Water.
Mayor swears in Michael Sieler
Michael Sieler, 1 125 Steeple View Drive, I appreciate the way the process works. I came away
from last weeks meeting with more questions than answers. I see to many unknowns to make a
decision. What infrastructure exists around Downing Downs by Eagle Water and United Water,
what plans are for expansion of infrastructure, is their legal precedent for using an LID to
purchase a water system, who will act as an overseer like the PUC, to what extent has the current
and future revenues been analyzed? 1 don't know what is available in close proximity. How will
our subdivision benefit in the future.
Mayor swears in Russell VanLiew
Russell VanLiew, 97 Fisher Street, I have talked before and some of my questions have been
answered. Under the LID is the purchase of Eagle Water legal. Are the administration fees
going to be covered by the LID. Discussion on fire protection. Discussion on the notices that
were mailed.
General Council discussion.
Mayor: This Public Hearing will remain open.
General discussion on getting information out to the public and public notification of the
continuance of the meeting.
City Engineer, Vern Brewer: I will have the questions and answers ready for the website by
October 3, 2007.
Guerber continues the Local Improvement District (L.I.D.) No. 2007 - City of Eagle to
October 24, 2007. Seconded by Bastian. Discussion on time. Guerber amends the motion

Mayor Merrill and especially Members of the City Council,
It appears you have a difficult job before you. I have listened with you to the
concerns of the Eagle citizens regarding the proposed LID.
I like that you have chosen to buy the Eagle Water Company. I prefer seeing
the City and its people owning the water rights rather than a Corporation
such as United Water Company whose parent company Suez is apparently
based in France. However, I am questioning, like many of the other people
here, the idea of an LID, the costs and the proposal as it has been laid out so
far.
You have been informed that there is a pressure problem in parts of the
Eagle Water Company district. Has this situation been addressed to
determine the cost of fixing the problem? Apparently the City was not
informed of the number of complaints that have been made to the Eagle
Water Co. It would seem this information should be a consideration in
determining a purchase price.
There are obvious concerns about the area that has been chosen to pay for
this purchase. Are there any alternatives to an LID? Can the public who is
being impacted have some input on the possible alternatives?
I'm not sure I understand the agenda for tonight as stated under
UNFINISHED BUSINESS: A. Ordinance No. 571 Creation of Local
Improvement District Does this you mean you will be creating the LID this
evening? I would hope not. I would hope that in light of the tremendous
concerns of your citizens, you will step back and take another look at the
situation.
I want to see the City buy the Eagle Water Co. but I don't think the impact
of this purchase on citizens should be taken lightly.

Eagle City Council
Attn: Mayor Nancy Merrill
Dear Mrs. Merrill
After a careful review of the various aspects of the terms and conditions proposed by the
City of Eagle for the development of a Local Improvement District No.2007-1 I hereby
appose any further consideration of this proposal..
As was discussed by a vast majority of the home owners that testified at the meeting on
9/11/07 this proposal is much more expensive than most home owners wish to take on. I,
like many of the other home owners have wells that currently are meeting our needs for
culinary drinking water and watering our lawns.
When you consider how much our property taxes have increased in this area during the
past few years it does not seem reasonable to now add another $60.00 to $160.00
annually for more water that we already have from our individual wells.
While we are talking about water and wells it would appear to me that the City of Eagle
should be evaluating what the impact is going to be on all of the wells in the valley when
all the new homes are developed in the foothills. When they start drilling large wells in
the foothills how much are they going to impact some of our large wells here in the
Valley?
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this important issue.

FY 2006 actual collections were $10.5M
Projection for FY2007 is Si 3.0M
Projection for FY2008 is $14.5M

Project costs out pacing revenue increases
Estimated construction increases alone for 07-1 1 to

Capital Project Budget
FY 2007 Currently $46M
FY 2008 Projected $45M
FY 2009 Projected $47M
Includes chip seal & overlays projects of $2.8M per

Essentially flat = fewer projects can be done with the
same monies

Results:
Increased costs plus flat projected revenue
results in $16M shortfall for FY2008
Will result in delay of projects and difficult
