1
Motion was made by Moore, seconded by Richardson, that the minimum
monthly water rate, as discussed in the Water Rate Analyses, dated May, 1969, be
$3.00 per living unit, regardless of type of living unit and the type of living
unit, as included in the motion, refers to any mobile home living unit, any ap2rt-1
ment, or any living unit within a unit development. The Chairman put the motion
which was unanimously adopted.
Mr. John Schmidt, owner of the North College Mobile Plaza, and Mr.
Arnold Leeper, owner of the X-L Mobile Home Court, were present and spoke in
opposition to the Water Boards recommendation of adjusting the living unit cost.
The following memorandum was presented and read at length:
June 9, 1969
MEMO TO: Tom Coffey
FROM: Charlie D. Cain
SUBJECT: Central Fil-s
We have discussed with you the need to modernize and upgrade our
central files. Money was provided in the 1969 Budget for this project. I
asked three --companies to submit a proposal of the cost and most feasible nroce-
dures to proceed with this project.,
Acme Visible Records. Inc. submitted a Proposal that proposed updatin;
our equipment. They would not provide any assistance in upgrading our total
system. I do "not feel this Proposal considers the real rroblems iie reed to
372
June 12, 1969
solve.
Proposal number 2 was received fr an J. L. Jacobs and Company, They
proposed upgrading our system. A consultant would be available to train our
employees and make the proper changes in our system. Their billing rates would
be $200.00 a day or an estimated total from $1,600.00 to $3,000.00. J. L.
Jacobs Company is a very well-known and competent Management Consultant Firm.
Most of their experience has been in other fields than file method systems.
They have not had any projects in this field in Colorado.
The _third proposal was received from Remington Rand . They have
proposed-to�-sdp6rvise, train and install a modern files management system. Their
billing rate would be $500.00 per week and they propose to install a system in
a period 6f eight weeks ($4,000.00). This particular project is one of the
specialities of Remington Rand and they have a history of successful operations
ThereeiFeT cities in Colorado that have used the services of Remington Rand and
recommend their competence and abilities. I feel they have better train-t"d
personnel -and are most knowledgeable in this particular field-
bEeF would recommend we discuss this project with Council and make our
choice among the three proposals. We should make this decision and proceed
with thig_iproject as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
/s/ Charlie D. Cain
Director of Finance
r'
The Director of Finance explained that due to the out moded method
of filing it has become necessary to update our entire system of filing. Motion
was made by Counclilman Kissock, seconded by Councilman Troxell, that ttle.recom-
mendation of the Director of Finance be accepted since the money was budgeted in
1969 for this purpose and the City Manager authorized Remington Rand to proceed.

June 10, 1969
Re: Foothills Apartments
The Director of Public Works is holding up water service to Phase II of Foothills
Apartments. presently under construction at 1917 South Shields -Street. Mr.
Coffey and Mr. Liquin claim that there is_.no written agreement in effect which
qualifies these apartments for water service. They claim that we have not commie(
with the ordinance for furnishing raw water.
I attach herewith a copy of my most recent letter to Mr. Coffey setting forth
our position. We are. of course. ready to rent apartments and are committed
for occupancy by June 15. on a number of these units. Rather than seek a hasty ;
determination of this matter in District Court, I would prefer to ask that water
service be furnished without prejudice to any parties concerned.

If, it -i,s_-:later determined that we must pay for raw water, then we will do, so.-,-,,
,
If, on,pct<he ;other hand, the matter can be negotiated between the parties without
judiciaO. !L_n.tervention then this would be the method that I should think all
partde-s;,WoLFld-,prefer.
We agree that within sixty days from the date of this letter, to commence legal
proce.edings;to..judicially determine this matter, unless prior to that time, we
are able to.;re solve the question of payment. If, at the expirati.on'of ,this
period; We ha°ve.._not commenced legal action, we will forthwith„tie obligated,to
pay inCaccordance:with the applicable ordinance for furnishing of raw w-e_r.',; or,
in the alternative, payment of money.
The previous check tendered for the other fees which are nor in'dispute , may _be_
negotiated by the city without any prejudice to either party._ "i

juvination.on April 24, 1969• It will be back in operation July 24, 1969,
