None. Derick
Anderson of McClure Engineering reported on the ACQUISITION OF EASEMENTS FOR THE
NORTHWEST AREA SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION PROJECT and presented a spreadsheet
demonstrating that the annual cash flow of $203,000 from the current sewer rate
structure is adequate to pay the worst case debt payment scenario of $199,247.
