Commissioner Moses Carey <br />served as chair of the Task Force that began meeting in June 1994. In December 1994, the Task <br />Force issued a preliminary report with a "straw" set of service boundaries, accompanied by a list of <br />inter-related objectives to be addressed. In 1995, the elected and appointed boards passed <br />resolutions agreeing at different levels of detail with the initial report, and charged the Task Force to <br />continue meeting to work through the issues and service boundaries. After almost five years of <br />diligent work, the Task Force is pleased to present the "final" version of the Water and Sewer <br />Management Planning and Boundary Agreement. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None at this time. <br />RECOMMENDATON(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the report for <br />information only at this time. <br />h:\bocc\wsbtfab2.rtfl8-31-99\gb <br />
