was sent, the City should have a letter from Mr. Hale indicating
assignment to Dr. Clark of 88 water taps involved in the project.
The Council also required from Dr. Clark an operating agreement
indicating his agreement to retain responsibility of maintenance to
the lift station.

6. REPORT FROM CITY MANAGER
A. UPDATE ON PENDING SEWER PROJECTS
1. 97th Street Improvements
No Discussion.
2. Bryson Sewer Extension South
Mr. Block presented a plan for a proposed expansion of the sewer
line in the area south of 76th Street North and just east of
Highway 169. This project would be subsidized by Dr. Bryson and
the Nazarene Church in the amount of $5,000 each and by some
individual citizens for another $2,000. The additional cost to
the City would be between $15,000 and $20,000 for a total approx-
imate cost of $35,000.
Mr. D.M. Sokolosky, speaking from the audience, stated that he
felt money from any taps put on the new extension should go to
pay the bonds off for this extension and that there should be a
guarantee that all money from citizens for the new sewer line
should go directly to pay off the debt. He further stated that
although he had no objection to the plan, the City should be aware
of the precedence they would be setting in being willing to match
funds with individuals for sewer development.
Mr. Block stated that before he would ask for Council's approval
on the proposed expansion, he would contact the people in the
area to be served by the new extension for contribution to the
cost of the project and see if it can be totally funded by the
people it would serve.
7. APPROVAL OF CLAIMS
Motion was made by James Smalley, seconded by Von Stockler, to
approve the O.P.W.A. claims lists dated July 20, 1982.
