Amy'Niswanger, Director of the Eagle County Public Library approached
the-Council. Ms. Niswanger reviewed the Library. Branch Program with
the Council. She stated that her budget was based on property tax,
and was limited to 5 1/2% increase in the budget each year, and with a
budget-of $300,000 for the County Library. She stated that the $90,000

The Mayor thanked.Ms. Niswanger for her comments and stated that the

Jerry Bonsor representing the Public Service Company was next on, the.
agenda.
The Mayor stated that the Council's main concern was in respect to the
Wildridge Subdivision's Special Improvement District Project that was
taking place. There were a few residents that built on the opposite
side of the road of where the gas lines were being installed, and would
have to pay a considerable amount of money to have service hooked
up to the main line. The Council assumed that every resident would
have been treated equally.
Mr. Bonsor stated that-he would have to take credit for the mis
communication of the concern. He explained the normal charge was:from
wherever the main was, to the meter;, which would be on the house, and
would allow $240.00 credit. He stated that that was how is had been
done for many years.
Councilman Davis stated that he was under the impression that when the
Council asked Public Service about the Special Improvements for Wildridge,
that Public Service was going to charge residents similar costs, and have
equal apportunity to hook up to that service. He'stated that he
realized that in other parts of the counties, there were different
formulas of how Public Service dealt with fees, but those counties
did not pay 1.8 million dollars to install the service. He did not
feel is was fair of the company to ask residents to pay more just
because the gas line was installed on the other side•of the road. He
stated that the Council, in good faith, would not look at charging
residents $600 to go under the road to get a hook up for gas. He stated
that he was appauled to'even suggest that there would be those kind of
charges for residents that were on the other side of the road.
Discussion followed.
Mr. -Bonsor stated that Public Service would charge every resident from
the property line, and charge the residents the normal charges from that
point. The Council agreed and felt that would be fair.
