ITEM 6: REPORT BY CITY ATTORNEY AND CITY MANAGER ON
INVESTIGATION WITH MR. H.D. HALE REGARDING PAYMENT CLAIMS
ON WATER AND SEWER LINE COSTS IN HALE ACRES I AND II.
City Manager and City Attorney gave a summary, in which
they stated three decisions that they think the Council
should make.
1. There is a valid contract for water line payback with
Mr. Hale for Hale Acres I. These payments will be made
when Mr. Hale completes the water lines and when proper
bills have been submitted strictly in accordance with the
1967 contract.
2. There is no legal obligation to pay back waterline costs
in Hale Acres II.
3. There is no legal obligation to pay any costs for sewer
lines in Hale Acres I or II. If a moral obligation to pay
Mr. Hale for the extra depth of the sewers, Mr. Hale should
Drove the extra cost and submit a reasonable bill which would
be prorated to adjourning property owners when they connect
to sewer.
Mr. Hale wanted to know whether the Council wanted to buy or
lease the 4940' of waterline installed under the Hale Acres I
contract. A lenghty discussion followed on all Points and
District Court Adjudication was suggested as a possible
solution to the entire matter.
Motion was made by Boyd Spencer, seconded by John Stadler
that no action to be taken on Payback on Hale Acres I and
II and no sewer paybacks on Hale I and II.
AYES: Messrs. Spencer, Stadler and Smalley
NAYS: None
ABSTAIN: Wasserman and Mrs. Gross
Motion carried.
