He suggested the following wording for the fourth purpose. "To provide the public and private sectors with greater predictability in long-range water and sewer capital improvements planning and financing." Councilmember Capowski stated that the Council has never seen a map that shows what OWASA is planning to do for the next 10 years. He would like to see a map as well as have review authority over the portions that are within Chapel Hills corporate limits or future corporate limits. Pat Davis stated that it was impossible for OWASA to say when they will extend service because they do not have the ability to control land use plan growth management decisions. Ed Holland stated that OWASA does not have such a map because they do not extend water and sewer lines. Property owners do that and then they dedicate them to OWASA. Councilmember Capowski felt that this is not was not completely accurate. He mentioned that OWASA is discussing putting a water tower at Star Point because of an anticipated need for more water pressure. Pat Davis indicated that OWASA does have an Alternate System Development Plan which could be made available to this group. There was consensus on the fourth purpose as stated by Pat Davis as follows: "To provide for predictable, long range water and sewer capital improvements planning and financing." After discussion on D. 2 of the Boundary Agreement it was decided that there was no consensus on either the original or the substitute in Julie and Jay's memorandum. Both of those options will be presented to the elected officials for their consideration. It was also suggested that rather than the using the word "we" in the Agreement, the phrase "parties to this Agreement" be substituted. There was consensus to present D.3 of the Draft Boundary Agreement and #3 of Julie and Jay's memorandum which presented a new paragraph 1 and deleted paragraph 2 and 3. 11: DEFINITIONS: Pat Davis suggested that the definitions could be in the Agreement and the policy related aspects of that could be in the related documents.
