FEES ARE SECURED WATER COMM. RECOMDS. WATER LINE EXT. TO CASE KNIFE RD. UPON RECEIPT OF 16 CHECKS FOR CONN. FEES Council mins. contd. June 16, 1964 With regards to the proposed water line extension to Case Knife Road, Town Manager Noland advised there appeared to be a total potential of twnety-nine homes beyond the end of the present water line to the corporate limits. Mr. Noland advised that if the water line is installed along Case Knife Road, there would be a short stretch which would be outside the corporate limits due to. a road curve. It was the feeling of Council that this service should be given to the two properties outside but adjacent to the corporate limits, but at the new established rate of $150.00, and those within should be at the rate of $80.00. Mr. Noland advised the minimum cost estimate was $15,000.00 for this extension. He further advised that checks were being held for fourteen (lit) connections; that two of the original checks had been lifted this spring and if these persons deposited their checks again there would be a total of sixteen (16) checks of $80.00 each for connection fees. Councilman Aust moved that the matter be turned over to the Water Committee for their recommendation to Council. This motion was seconded by Councilman McCarthy. Councilman Nuckols then made a substitute motion, that the matter not be referred to the Water Committee since it had previously been referred to that Committee, and moved that the line be built to the corporate limits upon the receipt of sixteen (16) checks covering proper connection fees, by the Town Manager. This motion was seconded by Councilman Flint. Councilman Aust stated he felt Council was getting away from their policy of having these matters referred to the proper committee. There followed a discussion of policies and practices of Council and Councilman Cummings advised that it was the^feeling of the Water Committee that the line should be built and if Mr. Noland could get the required sixteen checks, the line should be built. Whereupon, Mr. Aust withdrew his motion and Mr. McCarrhy with- drew his second to Mr. Aust's motion, and the substitute motion of Councilman Nuckols carried.
