Re.: Approval of the 1996 Billing Rate for the Evergreen Sewer
District
The Council is required to submit a new billing rate based on
the previous year's actual costs. This new rate, which is 1.64
per thousand gallons, was sent to the Evergreen Board last week,
and we indicated that the Council would consider it on May 6.
The new rate uses the same cost items of the previous year's
rate except for the deletion of the billing cost. Amy Robertson
also made an adjustment to their previous year's rate to
eliminate the billing cost. The district notified us on
Thursday that they were going to pay us their total outstanding
bill of $103,000 even though they still have some objections to
the bill. I agreed that Glen and I would meet with them during
the week of May 6 to see if we can settle our differences on the
bill. I agreed, as they did, that when we reach a final
agreement that we would make a refund or they would pay any
additional costs. Attached is the 1995 breakdown of costs
prepared by Amy Robertson that was used to compute the new rate.

RE:Kalispell/Evergreen Interiocal Agreement
Dear Mr. Thelen:
fitk 0\-, . �' V'0-96 D
The Board of Directors of Flathead County Water and Sewer District ##1 - Evergreen
reviewed your letter of April 12,1996, concerning the above matter and in particular
the matter of the adjusted balance owing the City of Kalispell by Evergreen in the
amount of $103,939.63.
The Board has authorized the payment of these funds with the express reservation
by the Board to formally challenge by arbitration the inclusion of certain items that
may be determined contrary to Evergreen's obligation under the Interlocal
Agreement.
The Evergreen Board is hopeful that the present negotiations with the City will
resolve any need to fonnally arbitrate this issue, but in the event the City and
Evergreen, either mutually agree to a lesser amount owing or should arbitration
determine same, then and in that event the City of Kalispell agrees to refund/credit
Evergreen for any overpayment included in this check.
I have enclosed a receipt for your signature on behalf of the City of Kalispell.
Very truly yours,
Board of " � ors Flathead County
Water w,e ist0# I -Evergreen
