Ms. Iris Ibarra, representing Templo Monte Carmelo, spoke in behalf of the church and discussed, along with the Board Members, the Carolyn Jean Project, as a whole. Outlining the variances in prices in reference to the different size main water lines, costs of surveyors, cost of design engineering, etc…. Ms. Ibarra briefly commented on previously discussed topics, such as, the alternative routes the Church could of taken in installing the water line, noting that if the Church took such route, the Church’s overall cost in installing the water line would be much more cost efficient, and perhaps less complicated. Thus, Ms. Ibarra concluded that the Church’s overall decision to go along with the Carolyn Jean route was so that the customer’s on Carolyn Jean St. could also benefit from the project as a whole, as well as the District’s and Church’s previous agreement to divide project costs, being that the Carolyn Jean route, would be beneficial to the District as well.
