As explained, the final cost for constructing the Water Department building was now established at $269,334.00 and architectural/engineering fees would add approximately $27,000.00 to this figure. Because $200,000.00 was originally budgeted for the building, a transfer' of $100,000.00 wo~ld be required to award the contract for con- struction. If transferred, these funds would be replaced in the 1980/81 Capital Improvement Budget. Furniture, fixtures and re- lated items for the building would, also, be included in the 1980/81 Capital Budget. Upon a motion by Councilman Ratty, the Board unanimously approved the transfer of $100,000.00 Capital Improvement funds to begin constructiOn of the Water Department operations and conference building. A Resolution of the Water Board of the City of Bakersfield es- tablishing boundaries for the service area of the Bakersfield Municipal Water System (Ashe Division) was presented to the board to consider for action.

Estimate No. 63 provided automatic controls for Pump- ing plant No. 2, so that the wells natural gas engine would respond to emergency conditions if there was a power los~, or if the pressure dropped to~.low~within the system.

Esti~mate No. 72 removed a burned out 125 horsepower motor. This work was performed under emergency con- ditions created by both Pumping Plants No. 3 and No. 6, being inoperative during the hottest part of the year.
