REPORTS OF THE CIT-[ MANAGER Progress Report Re: Future Sewage Treatment Capacity Mr. Edgar reviewed the following recent action taken by the Board of Directors of the Valley Community Services District: 1. V.C.S.D. will not proceed to do those things necessary to modify the current expansion of their sewage treatment plant to permit them to achieve a 5 m.g.d. capacity. 2. V.C.S.D. will not participate in a regional solution for sewage treatment in the valley. 3. V.C.S.D. will, by some method, inform home buyers of the potential liability to the district resulting from the $37,000,000 suit by the developers. Mr. Edgar stated that it is time for someone to take some leadership in this area and if this city does not act responsibly, it will be taken away by a regional agency. Mr. Edgar then proposed that the City in- itiate an action aimed at attempting to resolve problems, by the Council giving him the authority to proceed to formalize an agreement of the City's Original proposal for the allocation of sewer connections as outlined in his letters to V.C.S.D. of some time ago. Mr. Edgar further stated that he would attempt to negotiate with the developers to ex- change sewer capacity for the lifting of the law suits now in process. He stated that if this is sucessful, he would bring the agreement back to the Council next week for approval and if approved, he will present it to V.C.S.D. at their meeting of May 16th. Mr. Edgar also asked'for authority to direct the Director of Public Works to preparea history of sewer treatment in the Valley and recommend the most logical posit- ion for the City to take. Mr. Edgar also asked for authority to direct the City Attorney to develope for the Council's review and approval, the administrative and legal procedures required to have a regional agency assume the responsibility of a sewer treatment facility in the valley.
