They do require that public agencies collect revenue for use of the systems; they are larger than they previously required to be collected, The Federal Government has set down certain requirements. .for a new standard of revenue production for sewage systems, The rulers. and regulations specify that they collect revenue equal to and including depreciation. Certain credits can be made against this revenueo A WCIF fund has been developed, This fund would be for setting aside some funds annually, and accumulating monies to make expemsions for a future point in time. He said this was the seat of the misunderstanding by Mr. Seely, Dan Blackstock, County Counsel, asked Mr, VandePol where in the U,S, Codes could this information be found. Mr. VandePol stated he would send him the code sections when he returned to his office. Mr, VandePol said the annual cos t. of depreciation for this system would be approximately $112,000 per year; the annual cost of the capital recovery formula would be $295,000, The capital recovery figure is almost twice as high as the depreciation figured Supervisor Douthit set out his views regarding this matter.

It is a small town with a domestic system. It has one large industry that operates with a large flow of sewage water. They will work with the cannery on this problem, They will attempt to work out the problem and hope that the cannery can expand their operation and employ more peopled Supervisor Maxon said he would like to have some one set out the original projected costs of this sewage system. He would like to see this in writing. He would also like to see the costs as they are projected now.

He said that because waste discharge requirements were not being met by the City of Oroville, they were served with a cease and Qesist limitationo This showed the imperative need for a new systemo Mr, Moskovitz said that under the law, GORSC is an independent public entity, It has its ot~ Board of Directors; i,t is not controlled by any other entityo This board has the responsibility to perform the functions set forth in the agreement. Their chief mission is Page l~ ~ July 18, 1972 '~ July 18, 1972 to have constructed this regional sewage system. Without Federal and State aid this system could not be built. Chairman Gilman stated that avery~oe realized the need for this system in this area; people voted for this concept, There are a few problems but he feels that they can be irc~ed out. Chairman Gilman asked that under the present proposed guidelines for recovery, do they make this system completely unworkable, Mr. Gene Sylva, member of GORSC, said "No" and that the entities are working on this matter. When the recap hag been put together, they-will inform the Board of Supervisors, Mr. Moskowitz commented on the memo presented by the County Auditor, He said he would study the facts set out in the memo and study the legal aspects of the memo before the made any statements concerning the matter, Financing of GORSC discussed; no action taken at this time, 72..119 APPROVE CHANGE ORDER N0. 1 INSTALLATION OF TELEPHONE CONDUIT COUNTY CENTER On motion of Supervisor Madigan, seconded by Supervisor Maxon and unanimously cazsied, change order ~kl, in the increasing amount of $152,49, which provides for excavating and backfilling a trench, installing a junction box and conduit and repairing a roof on the emergency equipment room and to provide for the deletion of terminators from three service manholes, for the installation of telephone conduit, service manholes and appurtenances at the County Center, was apgroved and the Chairman was authorized to sign. 72-1193 INFORMATION ITEMS PRESENTED BY PUBLIC WORKS: AUTHORIZE EXTENSION OF TIME FOR APPLICATION FOR COUNTY SERVICE AREA N0. 45 Clay Castleberry, Director of Public Works, reported on the proposal for State Route 32-northwest Chico.
