An informal offer was apparently made at the meeting under which Roosevelt would sell Ballard 200 or 220 sewer hook-up- s for "at least $600 apiece," Gates said. Shisler acknowledged the offer but said the Ballard town council had not met to discuss the offer formally so no decision had been made. However, he pointed out that Ballard is concerned about the future availability of sewer connections. He said he would want assurances written into any agreement that, when Ballard's needs expand, the additional hook-up- s needed would be available, even if construction of new lines or I new lagoons was required. He added that he was certain Ballard would be willing to pay its share of these costs but he feels it is essential that the council "provide for future expansion." of Ballard is The population within to increase to 3,500 projected the next 15 years. This would require a total of about 900 sewer connections. At this point the town has more than 200 water connections, so he feels that 200 or 220 sewer connections would only meet current demand. "What would occur after the 200 are used up?" Gates said some feeling was expressed at the meeting that, since federal funds are used to build the sewer system, Ballard should be allowed to use it but, "since we (Roosevelt) put up 25 percent of the money, we dont feel obligated." The men agreed that the meeting had been constructive and it is expected that future negotiations will lead to an agreement Gates indicated that the block of 200 hook-up- s could be purchased at at least the rate charged for city hook-up- s and then the monthly charge would be one and one-hatimes the city rate, to help pick up the tab for the initial construction costs, which Roosevelt residents paid with their tax money.
