222 The City and County shall agree that all water usage of Cabarrus County shall be assumed to come entirely from the Coddle Creek Reservoir once said facility is complete and operational. 10. The City and County shall agree that the City can continue to utilize raw water from Lake Fisher and Lake Concord for as long as such are usable and that the County shall not charge a raw water fee for such. 11. The City and County shall agree that the water reserved and guaranteed for the City of Concord cannot be sold to any other party without prior approval of the Concord Board of Aldermen specifying among other things the duration of such contract, the amount of water to be sold and all terms including compensation to the City. 12. The City and County shall agree to develop and adopt a reciprocal agreement for all future water and sewer development relative to all aspects of such systems including but not limited to plans, specifi- cations, materials, line sizes, tap-on fees, etc. This agreement shall serve to establish uniformity of materials and line sizes, etc. to allow planning for future growth and system expansion. 13. The City and County shall agree to include all the items herein in a contract to be approved and executed by their respective governing board. Dr. Hector H. Henry stated that the City would be willing to discuss the sale of the property owned by the City of Concord in addition to the proposed lease as outlined in Item 3. He further stated that the 50 percent of the guaranteed water amount proposed by the City would be 50 percent of the safe daily yield of water from the Coddle Creek Reservoir. The Board of Commissioners received the proposal from the City of Concord. Concerns expressed by members of the Board included the lack of information regarding water treatment costs and water transportation costs to the filter plant. The Board indicated that the proposal was a beginning point for negotiations but stressed the need for the County to proceed with work on Coddle Creek. Also, the Board stated concern that the current contract between the County and the City for the purchase of water expires in 1989. A motion by Dr. Hector Henry and seconded by Mr. Lamar Barrier was unanimously approved by the Concord Board of Aldermen to allow the County Commissioners' engineering firms, HDR and Law Engineering, to do the pre- liminary work they are doing with soil borings and surveying for the Coddle Creek Reservoir. Members of the Concord Board of Aldermen also indicated a willingness to negotiate a new water purchase contract with Cabarrus County. The two Boards scheduled a joint meeting for 7:00 P.M. on November 23, 1987, at the County Courthouse to continue discussions regarding Coddle Creek. There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting adjourned at 10:50 P.M. Clerk to the Board
