Mayor Hurley reviewed the Standing Committee agenda items for June 7, 2004
Council Members reviewed items that have been placed on the council agenda of Monday, June
7, 2004 with department heads who have items on the agenda
The following items were discussed.
1. Council discussed the addendum to the development agreement with James H. Slife, owner
of Pioneer Graphics, to extend the number of rebatement years at 100 percent from five to
eight years.
2. Discussed the request from Ralph E. Russell Trust to rescind the portion of the agreement
requiring the Trust to repay the city for construction of Greyhound Drive. The city has a lien
on the property, and there is renewed interest in the area. The owners feel if they don't have
to repay the loan, they could lower their asking price for the land, which would make it easier
to sell.
Councilperson Kincaid asked why there is a variation in the cost for the Water Works to make
repairs to water service lines. Jerry Stevens, General Manager of the Water Works, responded
the costs will vary according to the location of the line and if excavation of the pavement is
required. Residents are asked to seek bids for plumbing costs. The service line is owned by the
homeowner from the main service line to the pave box. Councilperson Greenwood suggested
adding a $2 or $3 monthly fee to each customer's bill to use for maintenance of lines for
homeowners, or maybe on a voluntary basis. Mayor Hurley thought this was a good idea and
asked Councilperson Greenwood to put his proposal in writing.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Greenwood, seconded by Schmitt
that the meeting be adjourned at 8:28 a.m. Ayes: Six. Absent: Cole. Motion carried.
