REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 14,, 1977
<br />REGULAR MEETING RECONVENED (CONTINUED
<br />Council Member Miller made a motion to adopt this resolution, seconded by Council Member Szymkowi
<br />Council Member Adams asked if it was urgent this matter be passed this evening. Mr. Parker in-
<br />dicated it was not necessary that it be passed tonight. He said it could be submitted for public
<br />hearing on March 14. Council Member Adams asked what consideration was going to be given to Clay
<br />Utilities for them to release Laurel Woods. Mr. Parker indicated that was a surrender separate
<br />from the other agreement. Council Member Adams asked if they will give this to us at no cost.
<br />Mr. Parker indicated they would. Council Member Adams indicated that in Mr. Parker's letter he
<br />indicated there were four effects of this amendment, and she wanted to know if there would be
<br />any other effects. Mr. Parker indicated there were no other effects. Council Member Kopczynski
<br />read the following news release from Clay Utilities "There is now a demonstrated need for around
<br />the clock emergency service personnel which can only be supplied through revenue from a sub-
<br />stantial rate increase. The only alternative is to turn the operation over to South Bend .under
<br />the statutes authorizing a lease - purchase agreement. Secondly, the ever increasing government
<br />pressures on modern sewage utilities are driving up the cost of the new additions as well as
<br />operations. These costs have a much smaller impact on a large municipal utility operation than
<br />on a small independent utility which must rely on after- tax.dollars and borrowed capital for ex-
<br />pansion." He said it would appear Clay is negotiating out of dire need. Mr. Parker indicated
<br />the Council was given an exhibit which shows a substantial income as a money making property.
<br />Council Member Horvath indicated the price of this utility seems way out of line. The motion to
<br />adopt the resolution failed on a vote of four ayes (Council Members Serge, Szymkowiak, Miller and
<br />Taylor) and five nays (Council Members Kopczynski, Adams, Dombrowski, Horvath and Parent). Counc
<br />Member Taylor made a motion to set this for public hearing March 14, 1977, seconded by Council
<br />Member Adams. The motion carried.
