The General Manager indicated the Sewer Committee, along with Engineer

garding a package sewage treatment plant. Their proposal in conjunction
with construction of 196 houses on the Highland bench is to construct
a package sewage treatment plant at the base of the bench and thereafter
turn the operation of the plant over to the District. C-Y Development
Company needs a letter by October 28, 1977, from the District indicat-
ing they will accept operation of the plant. The General Manager stated
it was the consensus of the Sewer Committee that the District not be-
come involved in the operation of a package sewage treatment plant.
However, it was suggested that C-Y Development contribute whatever the
cost of a sewage treatment plant would be towards construction of
sewage lines to the area. The District would make up the difference
in costs. A discussion ensued regarding an increase in connection
fees east of City Creek. A cost analysis for construction of a
sewage treatment plant was submitted by CM Engineering in the amount
of $200,000. Mr. Coffin of C-Y Development Company requested addition-
al time to determine their costs for construction of such a plant.
M/S/C (Johnson - Forrest) that the matter be referred back to the
Sewer Committee~ Engineer Dahlke and Mr. Coffin of C-Y Development
Company for further study and an analysis of the cost for construction
