The second amendment allows a redemption period should the water district default. M.D.C. will make the annual assessment for the Town to the Subdistrict due April 1, 1988; however, the Town recognizes its obligation to pay its portion of the bonded indebtedness of the Subdistrict relating to the Windy Gap Project will continue to exist.

Upon closing, the Town will receive an additional $50,000. Boettcher and Company has verbally stated that the Town will not impair its ability to issue GO or Water Revenue Bonds by entering into these agreements. Public Works Director Widmer stated the Town should receive sufficient funds in this transaction to allow work to begin on the Water Master Plan.
