PLANT INVESTMENT FEE INCREASE RESOLUTION 3 -1 -01 Reid advised that he has had further discussion with Ron Mclaughlin and would recommend to the Board that a $6,000 PIF would be appropriate to charge without having a split definition of what the fee covers.

Wirsing would like to look at this fee again in the future to make sure that the fee is appropriate, but understands that the increase is necessary for current and system growth needs with our present water rights.
