curbs and gutters.
Memo from Gaylon Brown regarding the Norfolk Tracks on Fairview, they have
agreed to repair and hopefully we will receive some notice when this will
begin.
Municipal League has announced that the local government funding is in
danger of not receiving anymore funding. Our portion of the funding is 19%
of our general fund. If this happens the impact it will have on the city
will be looking at laying employees off. Manager is looking for direction
from council to either write a letter to our legislation. Council was in
agreement for the Manager to draft a letter and mail off. Mayor Ellender
stated he would be placing a call to state representative Tom Ragan.

this evening at 6:30pm to review the first quarter. Everything looks good.
Recommendation was for transferring an additional $40,000 from General
Fund for SR123, Phase III to pay this off. Also the revenues are down about
3% from last year.
New Business: Water to Eagle Ridge Subdivision: Mr. Townsend stated the
memo from February proposed us supplying water to this subdivision even
though they are not in the city limits. With the County in a law suit
Commissioner South stated we could submit an alternative solution that the
attorneys may go for, otherwise the attorneys are recommending not releasing
anything at this time. Council has stated they do not want a new
subdivision going in with out water provided to them. The developer wants
the water, and this will also save the home owners on insurance by having
the water available. The project is moving forward and the contractor is
ready to install the infra structure to the subdivision. The agreement that
is in consideration is for a bulk water agreement. The water customers
would be the County’s we would ask for the tap fee and they use our meters
at a flat fee to maintain. We would bill the county. Council was in favor of
going with bulk water agreement.
