ITEM
Mr. Jim Lambert and A -I Realtors were present representing George Underwood.
He presented the Board with a copy of an agreement dated November 1966, sign,
by John R. Groth, allocating unlimited sewer taps to the Hendricks property.
He said they would be requesting between 280 and 300 sewer taps.
Mr. Spencer reminded him this property is in RWD3 territory and asked him whi
they planned to do about water to which Mr. Lambert replied, "at the moment,
he is only worried about sewer".
Mr. Williams said he has researched minutes and cannot find where Mr. Groth
had the authority from the Utility Authority to sign such a committment. Mr.
Charney commented that if this agreement was not filed and made of record, our
bond indenture may not allow us to acknowledge the agreement. Mr. Williams also
commented that the Health Department will not allow us to honor the agreement
without updating our system.
Mr. Lambert said he was only present to present them the agreement and request
to be placed on an agenda so they could determine the Board's intent on this
matter and to receive an official ruling.
Being no further business before the Owasso Public Works Authority, Chair
adjourned at 8:10 PM.
