It is the intent of the city in proposing the creation of the Commission to secure a supply of water for the customers of its system at the lowest possible cost and to accomplish this end it is necessary to ensure that creation of the Commission does not result in the employment and equipping of an administrative, maintenance and professional staff which duplicates the existing staffing of the city Water and Sewer Commission and the Boone County Water and Sewer District. Accordingly, in discharging its functions and responsibilities the Commission shall, to the full extent possible, not employ administrative, maintenance or professional staffs to perform services which may be performed by employees and equipment of the city Water and Sewer Commission and/or the Boone County Water and Sewer District. The Commission shall, whenever possible, contract with the city Water and Sewer Commission or the Boone County Water and Sewer District to supply necessary administrative, professional and maintenance services.
