Affidavit of Publication Resolution No. 3022 on file in the office of the

Mr. Ed Ness, Assessment District counsel, advised.the resolution of intention
to amend the Resolution of Intention was to include the school district in the
assessment district.
The City Clerk advised no further written protests had. been received.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kriegsman, seconded by Councilman Chatfield
the hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes.
Mr. Kenneth Thompson, 1635 Mesa Street, stated the sidewalk in front of his
house had been approved; the engineering department now wanted.to change the
sidewalk, not for his benefit but for the benefit of. his neighbors. The lowering
� of his driveway would make it very inconvenie�t�.and he would not be able to drive
his car easily. He contended the sidewalk should.be left straight, that even if
he were guaranteed his driveway would be driveable he would still object to the
165
sidewalk being realigned.
Associate Civil Engineer Semon said he had understood Mr. Thompson was
well satisfied with their proposal; that it was city's intention.to make him a
driveway that was as driveable as his present one, at no cost to him.
Councilman Kriegsman said on the field tr.ip councilmen.had concurred.that .
Mr. Thompson should not be hurt, they would try to work out something that
would be of benefit to Mr. Th�ompson.as well as the�entire st:reet.and neighbor-
hood. There was the problem of drainage, height,and many other_ inter-.connecting
problems. Mistakes had been made in the past and council was now trying to
remedy a past�mis�take as be�st as possible: . - ,
There seemed to be three alternatives, Mr. Kriegsman concluded:
1 - Lighted step and guard rail leaving sidewalk as is
2 - Program as�proposed bythe. Director of Public Works - curved sidewalk
with gua_rantee of a driveable driveway
3 - City start back at Placer St�reet, putting sidewalk where ;the parking
, ' strip is now , _._ : . ..-_ , -
that some compromise must be worked out between City and.Mr. Thompson...
There was considerable discussion .on the possible use of rolled .curb in certain
areas rather than the vertical curb, because of the ramp problem.
Councilman Chatfield stated he did not agree with heavy cross slopes on sidewalks.
.. .� ,
Mayor Fulkerth asked the Director of Public Works and Mr. Chatfield to meet
. with Mr. Thompson to work out a satisfactory compromise,_ and a tentative meet-
ing was scheduled for Thursday, December 6th at 7:00 P. M. , Director of Public
Work's Office. -
Many photographs of the area were shown illustrating the situation on Mesa
Stre_et; photographs of a similar situation on Parkview were also shown showing
how the problem had been resolved by the Public Works office.
Mr. Ness� stated that plans�and specifications had been .filed on this project and
any change in grade', plans or specifications not in aceordance.with the original
plans would entail a further .public hearing; h�e asked that all changes be s,ent to
him. � , � . .
Mr. Ralph Hoeflich, 1605 Oak Street, told council he represented four property
owners of the area and all were heartily in favor of the assessment district. He
commended counei'l�for their actions. , He was. assured all pro,perty owners would
receive consideration for any eurb,. gutter and sidewa.lk t,hat had been constructed
in the past, _and the manhole in .the street would be;taken care of by -the sewer
division of the City. .

WATER DISTRIBUTION COSTS . � '
Director of Public Works Arness submitted a memo to all councilmen dated Dec.
3, 1962, entitled ''Water Distribution Costs":
He states the unit cost figures as submitted are based on the actual expenditures
to produce and deliver water during the 1�60-61 and 1961 -62 fiscal years; the
average cost per service in 1960=61 was $45. 65, in 1961-62 . $45. 32, That
during the 19b0-61 and 19b1-62 fiscaT:years, the City financed major capital
improvements to the water system directly from operating revenues. , If these
,�.� �� capital costs were treated as a por.tion of the annual unit cost, the average
cost per 100 cu. ft. of water delivered would be 16. 5�` for 1960-61 and 18. 0}`
�,�' � for 196I-62. , . .
Elaborating on future plans, Mr. .A.rness .stressed the.'12 inch line would not
meet City's needs of tomo-rrow; the ultimate plan for the future was the con-
struction of,an 18 to-21 inch lirie runxiirig out the Igo Road, then tying:.back,to
serve South City with a looped system. . .. .
Councilman Chatfield stated ,there seemed to be no way to actually determine
what the future needs of the Center�i�l.le Comxnunity,Service.District will be,
but in order to help _the distriet get sta:rted .in'"solving their� own'problems, ,it
was necessary for council to resolve some questions:
1. Will we serve them water? ..
2. At what •rates? Doub`le rates in accor.,dance:with-our pres.ent:cod-e.?
3. Will city put a, maximum useage on the district, restrie:ting, them to
domestic uses? -
�
He stated growth will occ:ur and their demai�l;°tivill.be greater, however he did
not think city was morally-obliged to.provide.them with water for their growth
factor. �' `� . , . -
It was stressed any costs for the system beyon,d.the `city limits would be. the
Centerville Community. Services District expense and would run approximately
1/4 million 'dollars; that an e�stimate 'of cost to: place -a line from;llVisconsin
Avenue to the city limits was $7, 000. 00. - � � �
167
Councilman Kriegsman stated the servi�n�g of water. to the� Centerville District
appeared financially sound; but it was establishing a policy and "where do we
stop? " Did we serve orily in emergencies, and what is an emergency. He
thought no action should be taken this evening pending a meeting with all members
of the council present. Also, council might wan�t.to .consider a time limit.
Councilman Chatfield stressed we:are�not. serving:water on an individual basis �-s�
but serving water on a wholesale basis to a political entity, and Dr. Martin
said tliis was a humane effort, that Redding�is their onl.y, source of,water. .
MOTION: Made by Councilman Martin, seconded by Councilman Chatfield the
City Manager be directed to. put down on paper what our.proposals may be, to
be submitted to City Council. before the next regular..meeting., . The Vote:
