WATER CO.~
Bob DeShazo speaker for the water company. Mr. DeShazo gave the
council the indication that customer complaints have declined
since the installation of meters. That the company has improved
due to the new sources such as Eagle Hills East, they now have 2
lines and improved and modified the well #3. That they have now
completed Circle K and across the road to Park St. and would like
to bid the new Senior/Community Center building. Mr. DeShazo
stated that the water company is maintaining itself. He also has
requested additional property to buy for reservoirs. As of now
it is only an inquiry, but is speculative in anticipation of
handling Treasure Valley Mobile Home Park, perhaps in the future.
Council made no decision regarding the company but will wait for
the JUB report and make a decision regarding the purchase of
Eagle Ranch Water Co. then.
SENIOR CITIZEN/COMMUNITY CENTER:
Jim Gipson, speaker for the project. Mr. Gipson indicated that
the project is well ahead of itself and that about 85% of the
work has been completed, the bid price on city hall was $53,381.
and was reduced to $50,149. to complete. The Community Center
side was $118,286 and was reduced to $106,767. There were extra
costs in the heat ducts due to the high water level. In order to
complete the need would be for financing for floor covering and
plumbing fixtures. Mr. Gipson estimated that the plumbing
fixtures would be about $5,939. On the exterior needed is the
sewer, water and gas. In order to finalize the sewer the shed
and fence must be removed.
On Water portion of the building, it was discussed that we
requested the PUC to give us a decision regarding biding our own
installation of water pipes. It was suggested that that may be
delayed in order to negotiate with Mr. DeShazo regarding the
water company installing them instead. It appears that there is
