City Manager Wengreen reported that when Horn Realty came in several weeks ago with a proposal to develop a subdivision south of 1200 South, an effort was made to discourage installation of septic tanks. At this time, he was not aware of other problems involved with the sewer line. Chester Kocherhans reported that there is a 15 inch sewer line to 400 West; and north on 400 West to 900 South, there is an 8 inch sewer line which is serving the whole area at this time. The proposal is to install a new sewer collection line from 400 West to the outfall line on 1250 West Street. The subdivider will participate to the cost of an 8 inch line adjacent to his property. The estimated cost to the City is $14,684.00. City Manager Wengreen stated that funds budgeted for other projects that are not as urgent could be transferred to pay for this project.
Motion was made by Lowell Thomson to accept the recommendation of the City Manager to install the new sewer collection line and authorize the City Engineer to finalize the engineering and advertise for construction bids; also, to negotiate with the subdivider on the cost. Motion was seconded by Paul Washburn and passed unanimously.
George McKinney, Civil Defense Director, gave a brief report on the Civil Defense Conference which he attended in Las Vegas. Mr. McKinney stated that the Conference stressed the National Shelter Program and natural disasters; i.e., hurricanes, earth quakes, etc. Civil Defense is dropping protection factor now on new buildings, as the protection will be principally from fallout instead of direct bombing. Paul Washburn thanked Mr. McKinney for the report and felt that the conference was well covered.
