AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 21st day
November 1983, by and between the CITY OF
POCATEI.LO, a municipal corporation of Idaho, hereinafter
referred to as "POCATELLO," and the CITY OF CHUBBUCK, a
municipal corporation of Idaho, hereinafter referred to as
"CHUBBUCK".
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Pocatello has a collection system and
wastewater treatment facilities for the collection and
treatment of domestic and industrial wastes originating within
Pocatello; and
WHEREAS, the Pocatello collection and sewerage
facilities are capable of receiving and treating additional
wastes; and
WHEREAS, Pocatello and Chubbuck have determined that
it is of mutual benefit and economically advantageous for both
parties to discharge wastewater from Chubbuck into the
collection system and facilities of Pocatello for treatment and
disposal;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and
the agreement, herein contained, it is mutually agreed as
follows:
1. Pocatello agrees to provide treatment of
wastewater originating within the corporate limits of the City
of Chubbuck. The cost of treatment shall be at such rates as
may from time to time be established by resolution of the
Pocatello City Council. The rate for that portion of
wastewater delivered through the Chubbuck sewerage system to
the Pocatello wastewater treatment facility shall be at a rate
that will provide revenue sufficient to return to Pocatello the
allocated cost of service. The allocated cost of service takes
into account the fact that the City of Chubbuck maintains the
sewerage system within its corporate boundaries and the trunk
sewer to the Pocatello wastewater treatment facility.
The rates for treatment of that portion of the
Chubbuck wastewater generated south of I-86 and introduced into
the Pocatello sewers will also be established by resolution of
the Pocatello City Council.
The cost of service allocation is based on the
determination set out in the Black and Veatch study of 1983 for
the City of Pocatello.
2. Chubbuck agrees to adopt by reference and enforce
the Industrial Waste Survey and Pretreatment Program as
prepared by and adopted by Pocatello Ordinance #2102 and made a
part hereof, such program having been prepared in accordance
with United State Environmental Protection Agency Regulation 40
CFR, Part 403, mandated by Clean Water Act of 1977 Public Law
95-217. The Pretreatment Program will be modified as
Categorical Pretreatment Standards are finalized and issued by I
Environmental Protection Agency. In addition, Chubbuck agrees
to adopt by reference and enforce the*Sewer Use Ordinance,
Pocatello Ordinance #2103 as adopted by Pocatello and made a
part hereof.
3. This agreement shall become effective
on December 1, 1983.Any and all terms of this
agreement shall be subfec* to renegotiation if either party
provides written notice of intent to renegotiate the agreement,
including reasons for renegotiation. Such notice shall be
given at least ninety (90) calendar days prior to time of
renegotiation.
AGREEMENT - 2 -
i
4. Chubbuck at its own expense is to operate,
maintain and be responsible for all facilities to collect, '
transport and pump wastewater to a mutually agreed upon point
of entry into the Pocatello operated system. It is the
responsibility of the City of Chubbuck to install a wastewater ,
metering device. Such device and its location must be approved
by the City of Pocatello and will be maintained by the City of
Pocatello with ownership to remain with the City of Chubbuck.
5. Chubbuck agrees to pay for its use on the basis of
monthly bills payable fifteen (15) days after receipt of bill
from Pocatello.
6. There shall be a mutual inspection of the
facilities mentioned in this Agreement at any time either party
hereto may request said inspection. No storm water shall be
permitted to enter the sanitary system at any time and it shall
be the responsibility of Chubbuck to separate the storm water
from the sanitary sewerage by any means deemed practical.
7. Pocatello shall provide and maintain the
wastewater treatment facilities to meet all applicable
requirements of the State or Federal authorities having
jurisdiction, and shall hold Chubbuck harmless from any
compliance order issued against said treatment facilities by
the pertinent Federal or State authorities having jurisdiction.
8. Chubbuck shall provide and maintain their portion
of the sewage collection system up to the point of entry into
the Pocatello system, sufficient to meet all requirements of
the Federal or State aut-hozit;.es having jurisdiction, and shall
hold Pocatello harmless from any compliance order issued
against said facilities located in the City of Chubbuck by the
Federal or State authorities having jurisdiction.
w
AGREEMENT - 3
9. Chubbuck agrees that, before any industry,
business or any other use or process generating wastewater not
currently served by the Pocatello sewerage system is connected
to said system, Chubbuck will provide reasonable advance notice
to Pocatello and pay the connection fee as set by Pocatello and
receive approval of the Pocatello Public Works Director.
Chubbuck further agrees to pay the connection fee as set by
Pocatello for residential uses.
10. The parties hereto agree that a reserved capacity
exclusive for use by Chubbuck is hereby established. The
reserved capacity shall be 8% of the average daily design
parameters computed as follows:
DESIGN PARAMETERS
RESERVED CAPACITY
Volume - 12 million gallons per day x .08 = 960,000 gal. per day
BODS - 20,000 pounds per day x .08 = 1,600 lbs. per day
Settleable solids - 20,000 pounds per day x .08 = 1,600 lbs. per day
In the event the reserved capacity is insufficient,
this agreement may be renegotiated as provided in paragraph 4
above.
11. If, for any reason, any part of this Agreement is
held to be unconstitutional or void, said decision shall not
affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Agreement.
12. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and
be binding upon the successors and assigns of both parties
hereto.
IN WITNESS WBER1-30F, t:ze parties hereto have caused

City Will Raise Sewage Rates
Pocatellans' sewage treatment
rates will be going up by an
average of five percent and new
connection charges even more in
a month or two, the city council
agreed Thursday night as it or-
dered preparation of the neces-
sary resolution.
The need for the increases is
indicated by a recently completed
analysis by the Black & Veatch
engineering/ accounting firm of
Denver to determine what is
needed to keep the utility on a
paying basis and provide for capi-
tal improvements.
Single-family unit rates in wa-
ter -metered areas will go up to
$4.25 a month — for an 1L5
percent increase, but the existing
$3.81 monthly charge will not be
hiked for apartments. Commer-
cial rates for small businesses
will remain the same at $3.90 for
the first 1,000 gallons. They will
go up 12.2 percent to 46 cents for
the first 1,000 gallons for large
commercial users, the public
schools and ISU.
Residential rates in unmetered
areas will go up 14 percent to
$4.35 a month. Unmetered com-
mercial customers are subject to
rates "adjusted to the most com-
parable commercial use on me-
tered rates."
For Chubbuck, rates will in-
crease to $4.35 monthly — a 35
percent increase for the few
Chubbuck homes south of I-86;
and by 42.8 percent to 50 cents per
1,000 gallons for commercial cus-
tomers south of the freeway. The
rate Pocatello will charge Chub -
buck north of I-86 will increase
11.4 percent to 39 cents (with
Chubbuck adding its own charges
to its customers.
For the first time, rates for the
few sewer customers outside city
limits will be increased. The ne
rates will be $4.55 a month fo
single-family houses — up 19.
percent; and $4.10 for apartment
— an increase of 7.6 percent.
Charges for an estimated 1
new connections per year wil
increase radically from the
present $150. But on Councilman
Bill Roskelley's motion, the in-
crease to $370 per connection will
be phased in over three years.
For single-family homes it will be
$100 the first year and $60 each
for the following two years. For
new apartments, duplexes and
mobile home courts the present
rate of $100 per complex, plus $10
for each unit will go up $100 the
first year, and $65 each the last
two years.
The city manager explained the
hike for new connections will be
steep because these add volume
to the sewage system. The rates
for existing units cover mainte-
nance only.
In another matter, the council
unanimously chose the "red"
route along the Union Pacific
Railroad's main line bordering
the west side of Ross Park for a
38 -kilovolt Idaho Power Co. elec-
tric line. This was selected over
two routes which would cross the
lava rock area at the south end of
the park and one which would
miss the park.
The council's decision does not
necessarily mean the city will
relocate South Second Avenue
from the middle of lower Ross
Park to a by-pass along the rail-
way. This will be decided later.
The city might not afford to do so
for 10 years anyway,,Moss noted.
The change would cost an esti-
mated $34,466 for relocation of
ballfields and other matters. That
would be more than the $30,000
offered by the power company for
the easement. Councilman Bill
Roskelley's motion called for a
$35,000 payment from Idaho Pow-
er in moving to accept this route,
but Larry Gunnoe, IPC's local
manager, made no comment.
He said the new high-powered
w line would be similar to that east
r of 1-15. The 60 to 65 -foot high poles
4 would be spaced 200 to 300 feet
s apart along the park, he said.
Meanwhile, those railroad cars
50 which don't run any more will be
1 removed by the city from the
Quality Inn parking lot, the coun-
cil eagerly agreed with the city
manager. The council last August
gave owner Wally Wright eight
months to remodel the antique
cars into motel units. But this was
conditional on Wright's posting a
$50,000 bond to guarantee comple-
tion. Quizzed by the Journal this
week as to whether a bond had be
posted, City Attorney David Ball
determined no bond had been
posted.
Moss said he would probably
call for bids for removal of the
cars.
Another matter on Thursday's
agenda — making minor changes
in truck routes through the city —
was postponed because the ordi-
nance was not quite ready.
The council also confirmed
Mayor L. Ed Brown's appoint-
ment of Jerry Lyons, 696 El
Rancho, to the parks and recrea-
tion board. Superintendent of in-
dustrial health at FMC, Lyons
will fill the unexpired term of
T.W. Smart, who resigned.
On this week's P&R board rec-
ommendation, the council condi-
tionally accepted the offer of Al-
lan Herres, Idaho Falls artist who
specializes in animal drawings, to
donate a logo for the city zoo. The
council set a Dec. 5 deadline for
any local artists to match or
exceed the offer. A copyright
question raised by the board will
be no problem, zoo foreman Ray
England told the council. He said
Herres insists only that the city
does not give the design to anyone
else.
In another recreation matter,
Chet Christianson of the local
softball corporation reported the
softball complex the volunteer or-
ganization is laying out in NOP
Park is growing green grass after
this year's irrigation and seeding
efforts. The second phase of the
$500,000 project, he said, will be
fencing the four diamonds next
year. The cost of that will be
$30,000 to $40,000. He said the
fields should be ready for play in
1985.
