YOilllGBLOOD Ci ty Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: GLENN ABRAHAM City Attorney It was moved by Councilman Camfield seconded by Councilman Rosbach that Resolution No. 72-24 be 'adop~ed. Motion carried. I Engineer French stated that at the water co:nmittee meeting, and in his report where it showed tb.e:/ had negÖtiuted wi th ¡',!Ir Erickson and had finally settled for a ~pllO.OO tap price plus a meter price, plus he installed the 4000' of pipe, since then he had checked with the City Attorney who had informed him that the tap price was ~þ500.00 outside the city limi,ts, he felt that the ordinance should either be reconsidered or from now on set the ~~500.00 for a tap. Councilman Sahli felt that just outside the city limits the price should be the same as in the city. Engineer French said if we have a third price it wou1d really run into prob~ems. Engr. French also stated that he had been digging into the Navy contract and was first told that under no circumstances would the Navy let anyone tap into their line, he said he had a letter which has permitted the county to tap into the line, he a1so had a, report and evidence where the coupJ::ings are rusty, the bolts and nuts have been eatin up, that the pipe line Was in badly need of repairs and that it very clearly spells out in the contract that the Navy is responsib"le for the maintenance of that pipe line from the pomnt of entry of water which is in Hadlock, he said that this erosion had been discovered around eight or fifteen years ago. He suggested that if the Navy would put the line back in good condition in accordance th théir agreement and move the me ter jus.t. this s ide of the canal the ci ty would be mos t happy to take over the maintenance of the line for evermore. This would put the control of the 1 ine under the ci ty where they could issue taps to il'Jhe green spot area and also still give the navy its amount of water. Mayor Steve said he would authorize the engineer to negotiate with the navy to put the line back in shape as it should be wi th the unders tanding tha t the ci ty would take over the maint- enance of the line from the canal. Councilman Camfield asked if the ~þ500.00 fee was all for a tap or part for a meter and pipe. Engineer French said he thought it was $175.00 for meter and tap, $~;25. 00 to reimburse the ci ty for the pipe, but the ordinance does not break it dovm that way, it is a flat fee of $500.00. Plastic Pipe Was brought up, the city could do nothing about plastic, pipe on private pro:[Brty, but cou¡d not be used to tie into the water line. After some further discussi on, Attorney Abraham said he would prerare an amendemënt to the existing ordinance an present it to the council at the next regular session. 8 I ~ AD J 0 DR WÆN T As there WaS no rurther business ~o come berore the Councilman Camfield seconded by Councilman Sahli that A ttes t: this time, it Was moved by (I now adjourn.
