Representatives from Housing and Urban Development presented a proposal to the Council
regarding the 86th Street North Interceptor Sewer line.. Mr. Woods from the Dallas HUD
Office stated that they had spoken with WS&W Developers and the Brookwood Apartment Complex
Developers and these two developers would be willing to put up two-thirds (2~3) of the cost
estimated at $40,000.00) if the City would issue Revenue Bonds for the remaining one-third
~1~3). Mr. Campbell said he didn't feel the whole water system should be tied up in Revenue
Bonds for this sewer line. He recommended that City's part be on a pay-back contract to the
developers. -The pay-back would be on the difference between the 8-inch line cost and the
12-inch line. Mr. Campbell is to negotiate and confer with these developers of theApartment
Complex to see if they would put in a 10-inch line from the apartments to Dogwood and if
WS&W would consent to a pay-back contract on the 12-inch line from Dogwood to 4th Street.
He will contact Mr. Hugh Johnson with FHA when he finds out about these matters.
Being no further business, Mr. Large moved at 9:18 P.M. that we adjourn. Mr. Ball seconded
the motion. Ayes: Myers, Ball, Large, Duncan.
