In December 1994, the Task Force issued a preliminary report <br />with a "straw" set of service boundaries, accompanied by a list of inter - related objectives to be addressed. <br />In 1995, the elected and appointed boards passed resolutions agreeing at different levels of detail with the <br />initial report, and charged the Task Force to continue meeting to work through the issues and service <br />boundaries. After almost five years of diligent work, the Task Force is pleased to present the "final" <br />version of the Water and Sewer Management Planning and Boundary Agreement. <br />The Board discussed this item briefly on September 7, 1999 and referred it to a work session for fuller <br />discussion. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None at this time. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the report for information <br />only at this time. <br />hAwsbtfab3.rtf\9- 23 -99 \gb <br />
