Councilman Juqy said that 10 taps will be allowed on the line for the time being and will be put in as the Water Supt. has time. OLD BUSINESS I Councilman Camfield stated that the Planning Commission has scheduled four public hearings on variances and rezones to the Zoning Ordinance for the 31st of July and will have recommendations for the City Council on these fpr their August 1st meeting.

The motion was seconded by Councilman Judy and passed. 8 City Engineer French reported on the status of the Water-Sewer 'projectin'the Port'pDoperty. -He stated he received a letter from the State of Washington Economic Assistance Authority which transmitted the offer of financial aid and requested the City sign it and return it by July 17th. This is the offer of the grant in the amount of $172,500 and also is a contract agreement which follows the outlines of contracts signed with EDA with the exception of financing. He stated that the EAA will pay in advance. He requested approval so it could be signed and sent back. Mr. ffench recommended hiring Reid, Middleton and Associates as the consulting engineers for the project since they have already done the preliminary e?timate~ and plans. They in turn have entered into an greement with Mr. French to do the field work, thus eliminating per-diam charges. He såid this'would reduce the engineering fees and we could use the additional money for added side sewer installations while the streets are dug up~ He said the"fees from Reid, Middleton would be 6% for design and 4~% for field work based on the constructions costs and contingency instead of the total of $172,500. It was moved by Councilman Camfield that the City retain Reid, Middleton and ,Associates as recommended. It was seconded by Councilman Judy and passed.
