undergrounding the facilities at this time; timing element

feels that this clause is appropriate; that the County
has been in error in arriving at the formula; that the
Council owes it to the citizens to get back any monies for
the City due to the incorrect formula arrived at; and that
it was premature to "give up" at this time.
