| 1:14:05 | Question, Will the City of Santa Maria benefit from this |
| 1:14:11 | commercial transaction, and make a profit on the water |
| 1:14:18 | if so will they participate in the capital cost? |
| 1:14:21 | Lebrun, The city of Santa Maria like the NCSD is a public agency |
| 1:14:26 | There is no profit to be made |
| 1:14:30 | the sales agreement that the city worked out |
| 1:14:32 | is one that protects there customers financial interest. in other words |
| 1:14:37 | the Santa Maria customers who fund their water department are not going be subsidizing us in any way. |
| 1:14:44 | We will pay the full loaded cost of the project |
| 1:14:47 | and the city will put that money to work within that water system |
| 1:14:54 | but it's not a for profit margin. |
| 1:14:58 | Question, perhaps I did not raise the question properly |
| 1:15:01 | Will the cost of the water to the city of Santa Maria be passed on to this we are going to vote on, or will they mark it up? |
| 1:15:12 | Mike Lebrun, The wholesale water agreement that the district signed with the city of Santa Maria calls for the cost of our water that we are buying from Santa Maria |
| 1:15:22 | to, they fixed that rate at what is their Tier 1 which is their bottom water rate |
| 1:15:28 | and then they added an energy charge for the fact that their water system has push that water up on the Mesa. |
| 1:15:33 | That's it, Our water is fixed at there tier 1 cost of water. |
| 1:15:39 | Question, So there is little motivation to help with the capital cost? |
| 1:15:46 | The City of Santa Maria is not likely helping with our capital cost of building the pipeline. |
