I.1ayor :Smith said that the above conl'l1unication vlOuld come up und er new business. C Jr/LiIT'l'EE REPOH TS 'J'Jater 'Supt. Minlsh asked the council:,o give their conccn t in nutting a water line at the fort cemetery. He YiPS "nformed that the council had alloeaq,rc:;ivon their approval. lIe also said that there was about 350' of 2" water 1 ne to be put in at 14th & Hendricks, the people ¡¡¡ere paying for the pipe and wanted the city to dig and "lay the pipe, he sf'.id at the IT esent tinle he could not get a digger due to the sower project. PUBLIC IÆARING MlW or Smith said at this time there would be a Public Hearing for the vacation of an Alley in B1øck 32 od tho Railroad Addition that was scheduled for this meeting, he asked the city clerk to again read the petition. After the reading Mayor Smith asked for comments, anter sam$ discussion it W2.S the opinion of the council that it V{i)uld benefit the city to vacate the alley for the alley in question was unuseable. Councilman Lindsey made a motion seconded by Councilman Judy that the petition to vacate the alley be granted. Motion carried. Under old business Æayor Smith brought up the two building permits that were held over due to the fire zone and he said that there was a question in his mind that fufuis residential area should be in the fire zone. Councilman Siebenbau~ said that the city engineer and the fire chief had got together and ha~ crone up with a plan to eliminate some territory that was originaly included in the fire zone, and in the plan it would put the two permits in question out of the fire zone. Council~an Siebenbau~ made a motion seconded by Counci1man :Ruby that the City Attorney be authorized to ammend the present fire zone ordinance to agree with the plan drawn up by the City Engineer. Upon tho Question, Eng:i.neer j'arren explained to tho council the map of the present fire zone boundaries, the proposed new boundro"ies and areas to be considered. After some discussion it was the opinion of the council that the plan sho"ld be studied further so that a decision could be reached at the next regular session. Councilman Siebenbaum withdrew his motion, Co>lllcilman Ruby withdrew his second. !/Iayor STIli th said who t we are s till left Vii th the two building permits. Councilman Lindsey said even though we are f'1uite sure that the area in nuestion will be out of the fire zone, he would make a motion to grant the two pepmits, seconded by Councilman Judy. Upon the question ColIDcilman Siebenbaum said he could not see how the permits could be granted because they were refusedci.nt the last meeting, the ordinance is still in effect until changed. Again after. some further discussion, Councilman Lindsey withdrew his motion, councilman Judy withdrew his second. Councilman Siobenbaum said he didnt want to start an argument but in the last issue of the Leader, a story \vas printed which appeared and gave the impression that the city has more wc:ter than it actually does. He said due to reduced usage at the CZ mill was aimed to construct ffi1 additional facility, the companys saving has nothing to do with the &~ount of water alloted to the city under the existèng lease, we are still only alloted four million gallons per day. He also scid that people weI'e misuse ing v¡ater due to no sprinl~ling regulations. ~,layor Smith så.å.d that if the citizens cannot exercise voluntary control, the the city would have to turn back to something w_ich can be enforced. Harry Deits reported on tho butterfly vãtlve that was ordored last Aughst, say'..ng due to strikes and etc, they had f:~nally received confirmation that the valve should be here this month, he stated that the valve would àolve quite a few problems and that it would control the right level of water at the pesorvoir. . I,iayor Smith brought up the tvlO requests :for a more adeouate water supply at the city entrance, Counci'man Ruby stated that the two re uests were hand in hand, that there wwas an inadequate water pressure and a lack of i'ire hydrants ..n that area. l~later Supt. Joe Y:I::inish explained that there WaS .""bout ono and one-ha¥ miles on one inch pipe wfuich was a private line, it wns only intended to provide only three residences but was gradually hooked into by numerou1s additional users. 8 I I 8 I 8 I I 8 207 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF Jm~E 3, 1969, COÑ~ I Mr Smith of the Town & Coun ry Grocery sard-tllñt-at-t-].mes _-~è -O-'JTI-c.omp--." - -- - water preasure, and Mr See said that he had requested the city for more water a ~ew yea::s ago, and wer'e told we would get water when mope became availab¡.l1;:. He said he noted tnat durlng the past fevJ years the city'.'has grown and water has been supplied to a considerable number of new homes. Mayor Smith said he felt that the council should not make a decision at this time, that he would refer it to the water cormni ttGe. ' Counc ilman Hoglund said th3,t while inadequac ies of the 1 ine are the responsibili tfues of its owners, the city also has'a responsibility to provide its citizens with water. He said in past situat:Lons of this nature, certain practices have been generally adhered tQ but there has been no official city policy regarding installations, assessments, etc, and felt an engineor~ng study would appear to be a logical procedure. Harry Deits, city planning col~missiQn member, said the situati~n is not unique to this area and póint~d out the need for an ov0rall comprehensive planning. Engineer Warren suggested a special study session with the appropriate city committee, the planning cOlmnission before the next regular session. After some discussion Engineer WarDen said he would notify the members of the date and place for the meeting. Councilman Hoglund said before this could be done, Engineer WarrCin would have to be retained for another month.
