Mayor Severance stated that we have four items to discuss. The
first being the approval of payment of the purchase of the well
field property from J. Max Massey.
City Attorney Joseph E. Weaver stated that the amount of payment
to Mr. Massey will be $15,230.00 for 5.11 acres of land.
Mayor Severance stated that the monies for the purchase of this
well field property is coming out of Revenue Sharing and that we
do have sufficient funds in this account for the purchase of this
property.
City Attorney Weaver explained to the Council the drainage easement.
He stated that Mr. Massey is going to have it merely for drainage
purposes only. This does not mean that he can destroy anything
that might go across this, as long as we've given him the privilepge
of drainage. As long as we do not impede the drainage there will
be no problems. Mr. Massey is quite well aware that the well that
we will put in will probably be to the west of that line.
Mr. Bryant stated that in order to get Mr. Massey down to this
price, we had to make certain reservations.
Mayor Severance stated that if this drainage ditch gets clogged
the City would notify Mr. Massey and he would have to pay for the
clearing of it.
