RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING NEW RATE FOR WATER
SOLD TO THE CITY OF HOLLIDAY, TEXAS, AND

ACTION.
WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls and the City of
Holliday entered into a water purchase contract dated December 1,
1968 , whereby Wichita Falls would sell treated water to Holliday
for a commodity rate of 14 1/2 cents per 100 cubic feet, and
a demand rate of $19, 467 per 133, 333 cubic feet; and,
WHEREAS, such contract provided that the commodity rate
is subject to modification at the end of every five year
period, and any increase or decrease in the commodity rate
shall be based on a demonstrable increase or decrease in the
costs of performance under such contract, but such costs shall
not include increased capitalization of the city system; and,
WHEREAS, by First Amendment to such water purchase con-
tract, the commodity rate was increased to eighteen cents per
100 cubic feet, beginning October 1, 1975 ; and,
WHEREAS, Joe M. Nall & Associates, Inc. , rate consultants,
has made a water rate study for the City of Wichita Falls, and
has determined that the proper rate to be charged the City of
Holliday under this contract is 46. 83 cents per 100 cubic
feet; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Holliday,
through its mayor, has informed the City of Wichita Falls
that they will not agree to any increase in the water rate.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
As there has been a demonstrable increase in the costs
of performance of the water purchase contract with the City
of Holliday, the rate to be charged under such contract is
hereby established at 46. 83 cents per 100 cubic feet; the
Utility Collections Division of the City of Wichita Falls is
hereby authorized and directed to charge the City of Holliday
at this increased rate for all water delivered under such
contract. If the City of Holliday refuses to pay for water
at such rate, the City Attorney is directed to take such
action as is necessary to make such rate the legal obligation
of the City of Holliday.
