4. Continued Provision of Service. Federal Way shall, upon the effective date of
Federal Way's assumption and/or dissolution of the District, provide water and sewer service to
former District ratepayers residing in Des Moines or in Des Moines' P AA at a reasonable rate that
is uniform for the same class of customer or service. The rate shall be based on the cost of
providing service, which shall be determined according to, among other things, the costs of
maintenance, operation and repair of the system, the costs of any special indebtedness bonds or
warrants, the location of various customers and the difference, if any, in cost of maintenance,
operation, repair, and replacement of system parts, the different character service being furnished,
capital contributions made to the system, including but not limited to assessments, provision for
reasonable operational reserves for the facilities described in Paragraph 2, and any other matters
which present a reasonable difference as a ground for distinction. Federal Way agrees to consult
with Des Moines and discern Des Moines' position, before increasing rates to ratepayers residing
in Des Moines or Des Moines' PAA. Federal Way shall not impose a surcharge upon Des Moines
ratepayers in excess of any surcharge upon any other ratepayers being served by Federal Way,
unless the costs of providing service as determined according to tlùs paragraph reasonably warrant
imposition of the surcharge. Federal Way shall not impose a utility tax upon ratepayers in Des
Moines or Des Moines' PAA. The parties recognize that the Lakehaven Utility District has
represented that the current surcharge applied to Des Moines residents served by the utility will
expire on or before December 31, 1998, However, in the event such surcharge remains in place
upon the effective date of Federal Way's assumption of the district, Federal Way expressly agrees
to waive and/or extinguish such surcharge at no cost to the City of Des Moines or its residents.
5. Capital Improvements. To the extent authorized by law, Federal Way agrees to
submit its plans for capital and major maintenance improvements to the facilities listed in
Paragraph 2, and whose projected cost is greater than $200,000, to the Des Moines City Council
for its review and approval; except Federal Way need not submit plans for Des Moines approval
for any improvements or maintenance required to ensure compliance with state or federal
requirements. Federal Way will include with the plans a proposed funding mechanism and
anticipated debt repayment schedule, if any. Des Moines agrees to review and convey its decision
to Federal Way within 30 days ofreceiving plans for the proposed capital improvements, and
agrees that its approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; e.g., Des Moines shall not disapprove
a proposed capital improvement because of the type of proposed funding mechanism; Federal Way
shall not construct a proposed capital or major maintenance improvement subject to tlùs paragraph
until it has received Des Moines's approval, Nothing in tlùs paragraph shall be construed to limit
or extend Des Moines authority under applicable law, including but not limited to the State
Enviromnental Policy Act, RCW 43.2lC or the Shoreline Management Act, RCW 98,58.
