He presented a map (see attachment) showing the general location of the prob- lem area and explained what was needed to correct the situation. He suggested a 6 x 6 concrete holding structure on the West side of the Fry property to pick up drainage all the way down to this property. Drainage would be picked up there and teed-off by a 54" concrete pipe. The ditch at the Fry property should be opened up and cleaned out. A dis- cussion of the types of pipe followed. Mr. Edelman reported an estimated cost on the junction box at $750.00 and the pipe which was priced at $5,103.00. He advised the Council that these estimates were for material ONLY. No labor had been figured in. He reported that he had spoken with J. Ray Smith earlier regarding the drainage problem and Mr. Smith had indicated a willingness to assist within reason. Mr. Myers suggested that the Council leave the matter to the City Manager for anything that needs to be worked out. Mr. Campbell advised that we would not have very good negotiating points with Mr. Smith and Mr. Hawk. Material Cost ONLY for this project is $5,853.00. City could install. Because of material cost increase, the Council agreed to proceed with this matter as quickly as possible. Mr. Edelman reported that progress on the municipal complex was as follows: architectural, 76~ complete; mechanical 85~ complete and electrical 87~ complete. He reported that the swimming pool needed painting and some other last minute work done on the project. Mr. Edelman said he did not know what to say as to the completion date of either of these project: He stated that the contractor at the pool would not be finished with the job until he had schooled personnel in operation of equipment, maintenance, etc. This is a MUST before the job is complete. Because of uncertainty of completion date of the municipal complex, Mr. Campbell advised the Council that at the time the budget was drawn for this fiscal year, rent for the present offices was figured only to December 31, 1974. He asked if it might be possible for us to contact the contractor since he has had the extension of time on completion date, to see if we can recover the amount we have or will pay out on the rental property until we can occupy the new complex. It was suggested that we send a Certified letter to the contractor to this effect. Mr. VanDall advised that we could check the completion date on the contract and proceed. ~,, Minutes Continued Page 2 December 3, 1974 Mr. Ball moved that Mr. Campbell instruct the City Attorney, Mr. VanDall, to contact the contractor on the municipal complex and advise the contractor that under the terms of the contract, ample time has been extended for the completion of the project and that the City would look to the contractor (Caldwell Construction Company) for excess rentals the City will be out after December 31, 1974.

Mr. Duncan moved that we include the door. The motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Campbell advised the Gouncil that an American Flag had been received from Senator Bellmon's office.

He reported there had been a total of 18 offenses in the past month. City Attorneys Mr. VanDall, broached the subject of annual or bi-annual jury docket. He asked the Council to direct a feasibility study on this matter. He stated there were ad- vantages and disadvantages to this but felt that the City needed this.

Mr. Shuck, Park Board President, advised the Council that scheduling for the athletic building during the month of December had been completed. Various facets of this particu- lar project were discussed. Mr. Campbell introduced Mr. Logan Dunbar, the new park superin- tendent.
