** Status with Contract with City. (c. & d.) Discussion regarding the improper sale of water by City to users within the Syringa District. Meeting in March has gone unanswered by City officials, and no revised Water Purchase Agreement has been offered, so it was decided that Fred and Frank go to the next step. A meeting with John Cafferty will be arranged for advice.
** Facility Plan status. Stephen will call Katy to findout how things are going, what is the next step, etc.
