Mr. Gilmore said the attorneys for both cities have agreed to
this, as well as the Mayors of each city, but it will have to go
before Cibolo's City Council also before being finalized.
In the discussion, Mr. Sharpe suggested that perhaps we should
have something in writing about Cibolo being willing to share
costs on connection fees, etc.. Mayor Sawyer said he would send
them a letter relating to all other agreements that had been
tentatively agreed upon.
Mr. Baldwin moved to go ahead and authorize or sign this Water
Supply Agreement with the City of Cibolo but he would like that
it be amended to show in paragraph (3) "a maximum of 1,000,000
gallons of water per day". Mr. Hoover seconded the motion.
Discussion followed as to the merits of reducing the maximum
gallons per day to one million or leaving it at 1,550,000 as in
the contract. It was felt that changing it now could delay the

of Cibolo has asked us for this letter of agreement for services
of our licensed water and sewer personnel. Mayor Sawyer said he
did not see giving our W&S Superintendent a two-step increase in
pay unless Cibolo pays it.
Mr. Gilmore said he would want Mr. Harris, City Attorney, to draw
up this letter of agreement. Cibolo has two people in school now
studying for their certification and until they get certified,
Cibolo needs someone with a "C" license to make their
inspections, etc.
r-
Mr. Harris said that since this would be a short term agreement
of about 30 days, he felt we could just use the agreement
presented with a renewable clause. Mr. Sharpe suggested that
instead of a fee plus 10% administrative costs, just make it a
flat fee.
