TEXASAttorney was asked to contact MR. BOB HOWELL to see if he would be available to serve from July 18th through July 29th. The City Attorney stated that inquiries were being received concerning land which the City purchased for right-of-way on the Interregional Highway between 49th and 50th Streets on the west side. He reviewed previous requests and appraisals, and the action of the Council to hold the land until after the highway was improved. He also reviewed the three recent inquiries and offer. After much discussion, Councilman Perry suggested that the one making the offer be advised that the Council was not reluctant to selling the property now, but was not willing to sell at the price he had offered. Other members agreed. The City Attorney explained a situation about three sewer line easements in Bluffington which the City needed to acquire, and stated that three property owners were willing to give the easements under certain circumstances. Due to the unusual terrain, the costs to connect their properties to the line would be from $1200 to $1800, as there would be as much as 400' between the houses if the vertical and horizontal distances were taken. These three property owners, who have adequate facilities, will give the easements, but state if they are required within the next 10 years to connect to the line, that they would want the City to pay one-half of the cost. If their system breaks down in the meantime, they would connect at their own expense. Councilman Bechtol moved that the City Manager be authorized to execute a letter to that effect.
