ITEM 5: BUSINESS
A. CONSIDERATION OF MODIFIED ENGINEERING AGREEMENT - MANSUR,
DAUBERT. WILLIAMS
Mr. Block presented an amended engineering agreement from Mansur,
Daubert, Williams reducing the original figure by approximately
60%. However, the hourly rate which was also in question remained
the same. Mr. Cates explained that to cancel the contract, the
City would have to fulfill notification requirements, pay the
company for what they have performed to date plus a reasonable
profit figure and reimbursement for any committment expenses. Mr.
Block said Mansur, Daubert, Williams had a company lined up to
do the infiltration study, but it had not been done and.that the
infiltration study had been removed from the contract. Mr. Cates
recommended figures be obtained showing exactly how much it would
cost the city to cancel the contract. Mr. Block stated that he
felt it would be to the City's benefit to obtain proposals from
other engineering firms in order to get the work done for the best
possible price.
Motion was made by Mayor Spencer, seconded by Wauhilleau Webb, to
obtain proposals from other engineering firms for the work on the
Step I Study of the EPA project.

NAY: None
Motion carried.
6. REPORT FROM CITY MANAGER
Mr. Block reported that to date the City has not been able to
finish the work on the 79th St. project as the easements are
still not executed. There was a misunderstanding about some
water pumps being ordered which caused a delay there, but they
should be received soon. With regard to Dr. Clark, the City has
not received either of the letters necessary for the approval
of his application for permit to construct the lift station and
force main at his development site.
Mr. Block mentioned that the City might want to consider an
ordinance covering the charge for sewer hookups.
Mr. Cates said he had talked with Mrs. McLoughlin regarding the
79th St. project and suggested that something be done soon to
resolve her difficulties with the agreement. He emphasized that
he was willing to meet right away with her or her attorney so
that work could commence on the project.
7. NEW BUSINESS
Mayor Spencer stated that he had talked to Tulsa's Water Commis-
sioner about the problem of an individual owning all the sewer
and water lines in a mobile home park. Problems have come up
in Tulsa regarding collecting for the water bill. If the owner
does not pay, or if there is a problem when ownership changes
hands, several hundred people could have their water turned off
at no fault of their own.
With no further business before the Owasso Public Works Authority,
meeting was adjourned at 10:38 p.m.
BOYD SPENCER, MAYOR
ANN HENDRICKSON, CITY CLERK
