There are still several others that may respond. c. Mr. Dalton, Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer, reported that there has been a temporary cash flow problem primarily due to the fact that Mr. Dalton's signature was questioned after several years of signing grant documents. Discussion followed wherein the Board suggested that staff ask Bartle Wells if we could establish short term line of credit for the District, in case this situation should arise again.

Stage 5B, Phase I, estimate was $21,000,000 and is now $13,000,000; Phase II, Solid Waste Energy Project had been $18,000,000 and is now $37,000,000, resulting in an overall increase of $ll,OOO,OOO.

We will receive a reciprocal release. The District's insurance carrier is preparing the necessary papers. President Boneysteele did not feel that we could justify an interest- free loan and felt that 7% interest should be charged. It was then moved by Member Gibbs, seconded by Member Allan, that the District advance the amount of $14,000 to pay for slide repair, $7,000 of which is payment by the District and $7,000 is to be the liability of two property owners, Karen Christensen and Mr. and Mrs. Reeder, to be secured by lump sum second mortgages on their homes for $3,500 each. bearing an interest rate of 7%.
