Mr. Ross stated that the County representatives could not recommend that a supplemental agreement, to allow use of unused capacity in the District line to serve future annexations to the City, be worked out at this time. They suggested that the City and District could enter into a sup- plemental agreement at a later date when and if a certain area wished to annex to the City and use the sewer facilities or the County could call for an alternate bid providing for a larger line to be built at this time, the City to pay the difference in cost which was estimated at $50.000.00. It was the recom~nendation of Mr. Ross and his staff that the Council approve the agreement as presented subject to the Montgomery Sanitation Dis- trict providing the Council with a resolution of intent, indicating their willingness to enter into a supplementary agreement for specific areas tha% may annex to the City in the future. Councilman McAllister was of the opinion the line to be constructed at this time should be made large enough to serve the Poggi Canyon area out- side the District. Councilman DeGraaf stated that all the City wanted was a right to lease unused capacity in the present line and was of the opinion the District should assure us of this right before we sign the present agreement. Mr. Joe Rushing, of the County Public Works Department, stated he has no objection to going on record that the Board of Supervisors will be willing to negotiate in the future on a supplemental agreement to serve areas outside the Montgomery Sanitation District.
