member Bailey correctly mentioned that this item contained a typo on the agenda,where the date
for receipt of bids was identified as July 2,2005.The agenda had been posted with this error,
City Attorney Panl Huscher indicated that although this was posted incorrectly,it should not
effect those who would be interested on bidding on the project.Public Works Director John
Gibson explained that this item is not an option and was not brought before the Utility
Committee because it is required by the DNR as part of our permit,Mr.Gibson indicated that
calculating the outflow from the treatment plant was no longer pennitted by the DNR;therefore,
a meter to record the outflow had to be installed.Forrest Aldrich of V &K stated the DNR
regulates the percentage of outflow in the stream.If the percentage coming from the treatment
plant is greater than DNR standard,the DNR may require the City to change other parameters in
the permit.Roll call:Ayes:Bailey,Stanton,Gruber,Mertz.Nays:None.Absent:Peard.

(13)Ordinance:To amend Chapter 203,Section 203.2,Waukee Municipal Code,Water
Rates,to provide that water rates for users outside the City limits shall be the same as those
within the City limits of the City of Waukee,by deleting the third subparagraph thereof,and
by adding to the previously fourth subparagraph of Section 203.2,the words,"Water
furnished to users outside the City limits of the City of Waukee shall be furnished at the same .
rate that is charged for water furnished for users within the City limits of the City of Waukee."
(second reading)Don Bailey,JI.moved to have the second reading in title only.Darlene
Stanton second.Council member Gruber stated his preference for a higher user fee for users
outside the City limits than for those individuals within the City limits.By having the rate
higher,there would be advantage to users outside the City limits to annex to the City or a benefit
would be available upon annexation to the City.Council inember Bailey indicated that
equalizing the water rates for all users promotes good will and ensures a working relationship
with Xenia.Council member Gruber stated that the buy-out of Xenia water lines was part of the
original agreement with Xenia when the began to provide water to those properties within the 2
mile curcle.Council member Stanton,when told annexation of the properties in question would
likely take place this fall,stated (1)the ordinance had been before the Utility Committee,which
supported the change;and (2)accounting would be easier at the time because the Utility office
would not have to bill at a different rate for those individuals outside the City and then change to
a different rate,which they annexed to the City.Council member Mertz agreed that promoting
good will and not having to adjust to a different rate when the properties entered the City would
be beneficial.Roll call:Ayes:Bailey,Stanton,Mertz.Nays:Gruber,Absent:Peard.Motion
carried 3 -1 -1.
