CONSDERATOW OF RESOLUTON WO. 915 DECLARWG WECESSTY OF MPROVEMEWT W' SUBDSTRCT WO. 302 (HAZELWOOD ACRES) Resolution Wo. 915 was presented and read, declaring necessity of improvement in Subdistrict Wo. 302 (Hazelwood Acres.) Mr. Sears said this proposed subdistrict is south of Highway 66, west of Graham Road. t is proposed to build sanitary sewer lines at the rear of the lots which would require shorter house connections. An alternative is to construct a single line in the middle of the street, which is cheaper, but would necessitate longer house connections. Both proposals will be presented to the people for their consideration. We feel that the cost to each individual will prove to be less if two lines are built, but the matter will be studied after the residents' comments are received. Mr. Ramacciotti asked if this subdistrict is in the Coldwater Creek area. Mr. Sears said that it was.

2 Mr. Ramacciotti said that as all the Trustees knew, he owned property in the Coldwater Creek subdistrict, but felt that since he was one of the two city members, it was important that he vote rather than hold up the project, Mr, Kinsey asked if this subject subdistrict was close to his property, Mr. Ramacciotti said that it was not.

There is a sewer in an existing easement and Engineering Department feels we have no need for the subject easement and recommends its vacation.

Mr. Clardy pointed out on a wall map the areas along and across the Moline Creek where Union Electric Company wanted authority to cross District property with their overhead lines.

4 n addition to the overhead encroachment, the Union Electric Company is asking for the-temporary right to build and maintain a tower on the right of way. There had been a mutual misunderstanding between the District and the Electric Company and the tower is now under construction in a portion of the right of way which it is-planned will be a part of the improved channel. The Electric Company requests that it be allowed to use the tower until such time as the District constructs the channel improvement and it will then remove the tower at its cost. The Engineering Department states that there is no objection to the tower's location as far as the present stream is concerned, and it would be perfectly satisfactory to wait until the channel is improved for the tower's removal. n response to a question rom Mr. Huntington, Mr. Clardy said the ordinance provided that Union Electric Company will remove it at its expense.

We did not feel this was desirable and after considerable study and consultation with the Phillips engineers they agreed that since the pipe lines were covered by five feet of dirt, there

6 is no real expectation of damage, but they want us to agree to pay for any damage to the pipe occasioned by the road; they want us to repair the road, if damaged, and hold the Phillips Company harmless if there should be any claims arising o.-ut of personal ihjuries or damages to property as a result of our road construction maintenance and use. 1^ Motion made by Mr. Lane, seconded by Mr. Huntington, that the Executive Director be authorized to sign an agreement with the Phillips Pipe Line Company to pay any damages done to their pipe line by the construction and existence of an entrance road to the Ash Lagoon for the Lemay Sewage Treatment plant and to hold the Phillips Pipe Line Company harmless if there should be any claims arising out of personal injury or damages to property as a result of our road construction, maintenance and use, > Poll taken: F.
