meeting, as written. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Schulze appeared before the board to request clarification
of the district's policy on consumer charges for more than one house
on one meter. He has been paying two minimums for two houses, but
receives only one minimum amount of water. Motion was made by Com-
missioner Brown and seconded by Commissioner Chamberlin that after
reviewing the minutes and assuming there is no conflict in the min-
utes of past meetings to agree that for two minimums (dollars) one
receives two minimum amounts of water (effective during the next
billing period), and that Mr. Schulze has the right to install a
meter at any time at the price in effect at the time of installation.
