Subject:Riverside Sewer & Annexation issue

Dear City Commission;
As a resident of Riverside subdivision and member of the Riverside SewerBoard I am asking you to support our application to join to the Citysewer system with a 10 year deferment of annexation to the City.
I note with significant concern that Mr. Kukulski is recommending thatyou consider accepting our agreement with annexation to occur on July1,2020. This would appear to be a 3-4 year delay from the time our projectwould be completed. Mr. Kukulski has previously told Riversidesubdivision residents, at a informational meeting, that he was sure thecity would accept a 5 yr deferral but he would present our proposal aswritten with a 10 year deferral from the time of completion of theproject. He does not appear to be doing that at present.
I feel that we have community support for our proposal but that Mr.Kukulski's proposal would have little support and would not allow us toget the 51% vote needed for annexation.
Our proposal as written appears to be a win - win proposition. Weresolve our sewer issue at the most reasonable cost, the city getsmonies from the fees without having to pay for the sewer infrastructureand you ultimately get to expand the city to include the Riverside area.
Please support our proposal as written.
Sincerely
Robert A. Hathaway MD12 Park Plaza Rd.Bozeman, Mt587 1603email - bobhath@bresnan.net
