This would leave a balance available of $132,191.07. Adding approximately $20,000 expected from the sell of city owned lots, the total estimated amount for water improvements would be $152,191.07. He said that after talking with HUD officials, he felt sure the $65,000 or-gina11y budgeted for drainage could be used for the water improvements instead by amending the C.D. applications. ~ :\} City Engineer Howard Gaddis was then asked to give his recommendations. He reminded the group of the proposed subdivision and the fact that the city would not have enough water pressure to supply this subdivision. He suggested utilizing the U.C. wells by either enlarging the lines and/or installing a ground storage tank near the utility buildings on FM 1518. He further dis- cussed with the Council the placing of a storage tank at the proposed subdi- vision site and ways of tying into the present system to make it more efficient. Mr. Gaddis was then asked to determine estimated cost figures on the following four items: (1) elevated tank at the U.C. well site; (2) ground storage tank at the utility facilities on FM 1518; (3) elevated tank at the site of the proposed new subdivision and (4) increasing the size of the line from the U.C. wells including easement accessibility. These figures are wanted for the public hearing which was set for August 28, 1978. The Joint meeting was recessed and the Mayor reconvened a workshop session of the Council at 8:30 P.M. in the small conference room of the Municipal Building. At 9:08 P.M.
