PETERSON: <br /> <br />"No. \^Ie work up water studies for anyone; <br />any agency that comes in and wants a water <br />supply study. It doesn't make any difference <br />whether it is a person or a town or an indivi- <br />dual or a company, we have the information <br />there and we tell them at any given point how <br />much water is ava.ilable." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"I just raised a question. I think we <br />should supply for any state entity, city, <br />municipality or conservancy district, these <br />services but I am wondering how much time was <br />involved, what expenditure of money was ma.de <br />on behalf of a private corporation. The cor- <br />respondence that I saw doesn't indicate in any <br />respect that if we pass this resolution, there <br />is a firm commitment on Crown Zellerbach's <br />part to build the plant. I am just wondering <br />what representations and what money would be <br />expended for private individuals in this re- <br />gard up to this time." <br /> <br />"It didn't ta.ke very long since we have <br />all the records available. They are fur- <br />nished to us by the United States Geological <br />Survey. I would say, perhaps, two or three <br />days time on ~he part of one engineer." <br /> <br />'~lell, maybe we could consider this dur- <br />ing the lunch hour but I feel, personally, <br />that private corporations, supported by pri- <br />vate funds can well afford to hire private <br />engineers to do this work and I am not sure <br />that the Legislature knows that we are <br />diverting our staff and our time for these <br />purposes. I may be slightly off base but the <br />question carne to my mind and I think if we <br />have a policy to do this it ought to be <br />clearly understood and a matter of record in <br />this regard. <br /> <br />~tr. Peterson, do you have any comment?" <br /> <br />"The question that you raised, Mr. Chair- <br />man, I think it would be just a matter of <br />mechanics. I think that perhaps if the State, <br />or we, were to adopt a policy whereby we <br />wouldn't provide these services, that it would <br />be very simple for an interested town, com- <br />munity or conservancy district to make that <br />request in behalf of the private corporation <br /> <br />I <br />
