Frank Wilson; Vice-Mayor Fred T. Renick; Harry L. Boaz; Thomas J. Burch; and E. E. Stone. After the invocation, Council approved as recorded the minutes of its regular meeting held September 10, 1963. With reference to permission given by Council during its regular meeting held September 10, 1963, to Mt-s. Florinne A. Campbell and Mr-s. Odessa Ramsey to extend a City water main to serve their four lots on Edgewood Place near Grandview Street, the Planning Commission reported that such an extension will comply with the City's regulations and with Planning Commission requirements but would necessitate execution of a formal agreement or contract between the City and the property owners. As requested by Council during its September 10th meeting, City Manager Hirst reported on conditions--both prior and existing-found in connection with a water drainage problem cited by Mr'. Ronald Brugge, of 901 Clarke Road. From this report it was concluded that there rests no responsibility or liability upon the City for these conditions; however, Council suggested that City Manager Hirst and Public Works Director George W. Brown assist in mediating this problem between the property owners, the builder of the homes involved, and the developer. Council acknowledged receipt of copies of the Report on Audit for the City's fiscal year ended June 30, 1963, as prepared by the accounting firm of William Z. Ford, CPA.
