Discussion was had in regard to the concept incorporated in
the Joint Power Agreement dated October 12, 1967, providing that any
State or Federal Grants received under the interceptor line project
shall be credited to the respective cities in the same proportion
that such city is bearing the cost of the construction of the new
interceptor line. It was noted by City Administrator Wood that
the City of Gilroy's estimate of $44,163.75 does not reflect any
reduction for the Federal Grant received.
Further discussion was had in regard to the City of Gilroys
original estimated share of the subject project being reduced due
to the favorable bid received for the project and the City of Gil-
roy's payments for Crop Damage Settlements are to be shared by
Morgan Hill, and also the fact that the project route had been
changed from the original concept, specifically the "Open Field
Alignment" rather than the original route proposed down 101 Highway.
This open field al ignment had substantially reduced the project
cos ts.
Councilman Galvan (Morgan Hill) reported on his views on
the matter stating that he had understood that Gilroy's estimated
share of the project to be approximately $100,000.00. Further
discussion was had in regard to same and the City of Gilroy's inter-
~ertation of Gilroy's pro-rata share of the subject project was
explained to Councilman Galvan.
The Mayor requested that this matter be discussed at
another meeting when more participation from Morgan Hill Officials
could be present for further clarification of the Joint Power
Agreement as to Gilroy's share of the Joint Sewer Project and for
further discussion of the County's proposal of outside city indus-
trial sewer connection fees. It was suggested that said meeting
be scheduled at the next Morgan Hill City Council's regular meeting
of November 6, 1968, or as soon as same would be convenient for
Morgan Hill Officials. The Mayor further noted that the City of
Gilroy is prepared to meet its obligation in regard to the Joint
Power Agreement and desires to have a complete understanding of
same with the City of Morgan Hill.
Mr. Emmett Slaughter requested a portion of the Joint
Power Agreement, dated October 12, 1967 to be read. City Adminis-
trator Wood read Section 5.-a part ii and iii of said Joint Power
Agreement in regard to the requirements for oversizing lines of
the said project and in regard to Grants received for said project.
At 7:52 p.m. the Mayor adjourned the meeting.
