Dale Conger discussed the protect progress to date. Mr. Conger informed the Board that the Southeast Water Purification Plant (SEWPP) will probably not be in operation at the time the project is finished.

Dale Conger and Robert Ray left meeting. 8. General Manager Robert Herrera discussed the operating agreement with the City of LaPorte. He explained this is a working draft for the Authority to review and to ask questions. He stated both the Authority's attorney and the attorney for the City have reviewed the agreement and have made comments.
