A. P~ GR~ ~~Y SCHOOL
Since ~ia ~ea is presently a 1~ ~maity
~ea ~d ~e installati~ of a se~e~.~ll~ainly
se~ the new school, at ~his time, the School
Bo~d will DaY $~0,000 t~ards the cost of instal-
li~ a ~e~ant sewem syS~m $~$~ad-of lnstalli~
our ~ p~ivajte System at apR~ex~tel~ th® s~e cost.
~ feel that this is an equitable share as
it is anticipated that this ~ea will grow and the
sewer system will become mo~e profitable to the
Oity~ ~e School Board could but will not e~ect
a rebate on its share of the investment when there

are increased-revenues. The School Board .will
consider a reasonable monthly service charge which
offsets the cost of operating and maintaining our
own plant.
B. CARVER HIGH SCHOOL ADDITION
Since this is a high density area and the
City will realize a profitable return from the
sewer system, we can not Justify paying more than
the cost of connecting to the City sewer arid a
reasonable monthly service charge. This is-the
normal policy when schools are connected to city
severs.
This building program was based on this
policy since our archltec.ts, Dugger & Johnson,
conferred with your a~.thorities and were advised
that you were willing to adjust your construction
program and. make sewers available in this area.
This information was confirmed to us in your letter
of J~ly 27, 1965.
These offers must be contingent'..upon' She condition that
sewers will be available for ~use for both of these
schools~ by .August 1966.
We appreciate your cooperation and hope that a satisfactory
agreement ~will be reached. We will be happy to discuss
this further, if necessary."
Mr. Croft moved that the recommendation of the City Manager and
Russell & Axon be approved, with the stipulation that the negotiation
of se, vi~e rates for Carver-.High-School comes back to Council. ~The
motion was seconded by Mr. Saunderso
Mr. Talbot said he felt the-County~School System should pay an
amount of money fop the capital inves~tment of the sanitary sewer
installation in that area to service the Carver High School.
City Manager Gatchel pointed out that Carver High School is
located in Area I of A~ea 20 and if that area is approved, the sanitary
sewers would be installed on the East, North and West sides, of said
school; further, that the monthly service charge to Carver High
School would be the current non-residential rate for sewer services.
Following lengthy discussion, Mr. Croft and Mr.. Saunders withdrew
their motion and second, and Mr. Croft then moved to construct Areas
I and II of Area 20, as outlined in the letter from Mr. Neff dated
January 28, 1966, and recommended by the City Manager. .Mayor Avery
relinquished the gavel to Vice-Mayor Croft and seconded-the motion.
Upon call of roll, Mr. Croft, Mr. SaUnders and Mayor Avery voted in
favor of the motion, Mr. Jurney abstained from voting and Mr. Talbot
was opposed.
Mayor Avery said he had received complaints from residents
li~ing on Eve Street in Tropic Isle S/D relative to the concrete
block walls left standing on the property Just north of thei~ subdi-
vision; further, that these walls are~ unsightly and present a
hazard.
~ayor Avery said that he would like to direct the City Attorney
to ~e~.omm~d a solution and action ~hat the Council may take to elimi-
na.t~-S~cl~ ~ondition, and that said recommendations be placed on the
agenda b~ the next regular meeting~ The Councilmen were agreeable to
