A letter was received from Herold Charney asking for the re~~,oval of "Parallel Parking Signs'" at Sherrill Apartments located at 31£3 North I~ia,in Street. However the signs had already been removed by someone and 1`~Tr. Tyler had measured and found that the signs had definitely been erected on City property. It was also noted that I~fr. Sherrill. had not prcvided off-Street parking as was designated in his permit for the apartments. Tor. troth suggested we send a letter inviting I?r. Sherrill_ to next meeting to discuss the matter. i'~s. Hale came before the Board to discuss water billing of his apartments. After much discussion, Iti`r. troth said he thought I'"r. Hale was justified to some extend, in his complaint, since he is paying more than outside City users who pay double rates. It was finally decided to charge all apartments of six units or more .50¢ per 1,000 gallons of water used and add `1..00 for each unit whether occupied or not. All apartments of less than six units must have a meter for each apartment. P~tr. Large so moved and I~r. Ross seconded the motion. Ayes: troth, Doss, Large, Duncan. P-'~r.

P~1r. Duncan moved and. Irr. Large seconded that the "No Fzrkingf' signs be installed. Ayes: troth, Ross, Large, Duncan. I~r. Large moved and I~~r. Duncan seconded that the City donate grave space for Johnny Tagman, a war casualty. Ayes: troth, Ross, Large, Duncan. T~`r. Hale stated that vandalism and distruction is getting worse in Owasso. I~"r. troth said we would try to police the north end of Town a little closer. r'r. troth said I~ir. Tyler had stated a need of our tractor and back hoe replacement or overhaul. Anew one would cost az~r~roximately `6,000. I~x. Tyler is cl;ecking on costs both waT,~s. ~~ __ ~~~ Page 3 August 1, 1966 I~unutes contirn_ied--- l~~r.
