ITEM 9: NEW BUSINESS.
City Manager had two request for out of city water taps, no policy set
down. The Morton Marine was told that if he extended the 12" water line
he would be reimbursed by the City for the cost over a 6" water line.
He stated that he wanted to run a 2 water line which would not be safe
for fire protection, if he could not get satisfaction he would drill a
well. The other stated that he would do what the City wanted. The water
rates were quoted at 60% higher than City Water. It was agreed to put
this on the next agenda.
i�ir. Mansur, City Engineer gave us his comments about the EPA Stream Study.
He said that it would be better to do this as a City, because the EPA
funds may not last until the study is over. The Mayor stated that people
were going to have to do without or begin paying for services out of their
pockets.
City Manager stated that he would like to contribute $100.00 to the
Oklahoma Good Roads Association and council agreed.
Mr. Mansur, City Engineer stated that he would have some definite
plans drawn up by December 15th meeting for water and sewer city
building improvements. On the water side, loops were needed and
the city garage needs a 4 stall garage and city hall needs to
be expanded. The most needed and expensive is the old sewer line
that needs to be replaced from 86th Street North and 11ingo to our
lagoon.
City Manager stated that there were problems on the north end of the
city as far as water and sewer and the cost needs to be paid by the
developer to keen growth in that area. Bond issues may be needed
to make the initial move, or a 1(� sales tax increase. This project
needs to be started by early sumTer of 1982.
Being no further business before the Owasso Public Works Authority,
