was not amended.

II. The Board discussed the installation of water meters at several
locations that had not yet installed meters. These properties are
now billed $75.00 per quarter. This rate is higher than the probabl
rate for water usage at these residences, however, most of these
properties have not paid bills nor made any arrangements to do so.
It was the consensus of the Board to direct the Public Works Director
to draft a letter concerning this issue and mail it to the affected
property owners.- _ ~ i1''\..Q pol\.t't re~\Q\"'d\l'\c,\ 1c\.~ ~(\.'\Y\^€V\-t \S ~ b.
