ITEM 9 - REQUEST TO DISIGNATE A MOBILE HOME CONNECTION TO THE CITY SEWAGE SYSTEM
AS 72% OF A SEWER TAP ALLOCATION FOR A CONVENTIONAL HOLH;.
Mr. Thompson referred to a letter from Cline Mansur dated April 25, 1977 in which
he recommended that mobile homes be alloted only 72% of a conventional figure for
single home allocation. This figure was based on an average family size ratio of
3.2 persons per household in a conventional residence to 2.3 persons per house-
hold in a mobile home area. Mr. Charney said if that ratio was determined in
1977 it might need to be revised as more families are moving into mobile homes "
and we might be working under a false assumption.
Motion was made by Dennis Burke, seconded by Al Lambert, officially designating
mobile home connections to the City sewage system equal to .72% of a single home
allocation, with no difference in sewer tap charge.
Ayes - Messrs. Spencer, Lambert, Burke and Mrs. Fickle
Nays - None
Motion carried.

Motion was made by Al Lambert, seconded by Dennis Burke, to officially acknow-
ledge receipt of Oklahoma State Health Department Permits No. WL-81-034 and

Owasso, and by reference made a part hereof.

Nays - None
Motion carried.
ITEM 11 - REQUEST TO CHANGE WATER METER DEPOSITS FROM $20.00 TO $40.00 FOR ALL
FUTURE WATER METER INSTALLATIONS.
Mr. Thompson explained this was brought about by history that when customers
close out delinquent accounts those accounts are closer to sixty days delinquent
rather than just one month which the present $20.00 deposit was intended to
cover. Mr. Thompson commented that the deposit money is held in an escrow
account. Phyllis Gross questioned if interest from that escrow account is paid
to the customer and Steve Jay, City Auditor, said it is not required by law to
pay interest to the customer.
Motion was made by Boyd Spencer, seconded by Dennis Burke, to increase water
meter deposits from $20.00 to $40.00 for all future water meter installations
effective immediately.
Ayes - Messrs. Spencer, Lambert, Burke and Mrs. Fickle
Nays - None
Motion carried.
