questioned the validity of the location of the hydrants.,�Mayor Nee ,
inquired i� they could aettle now on_a price. Mr. Buekley replied he�
felt it was atrictly on,a basis that 3f they were ty3ng into it at

in epecial sesessmenta, Mayor Nee explained the City�Council had,gone J
e.head in good faith on the project without knowing`ihow,,,i,t�,would,develop,
Mr, Buckley asserted it had been a�id ear�ier by•eomebody,»t,his eyening
the reason they had gone ahead was�'for ,the shopping,center,., City Engineer
Qureahi explained they did not know..where the bullding wae,to bs.loGated
for the church. Councilman Wright atated they provided,s,ex�ce Yor co�-
ercially zoned land facing a co�ercial atreet and this wae eommereially
zoned property, that the church did chooae th3s property With i'rontage on a

all the way asound their property� thst the preaent,bi�ilding �1ea e'tempor-
ary building and the church would not be facing Univereity Avettue.

Councilman Wr3ght stated it wae hie opinion the.t co�ercial property

the chnrch had all of this property� would thej. then '6e going to sasess
the church a11, the way around its-property. Mayor Nee inquired what kind
oP con[�iromise covld be �worked out.
- � i . .
Mr. Buckley replied the engineera could axrive at a figure for the value
of s hydrant and other items of contingencies would be ballistic and they
would be more than agreeeble to that: Mr. Spence etated th3s line referred
to wae brought in at the e�sII. wieh oi and to aexve the ehopping center,
Mayor Nee replied the line would have been brought in regardlege. Mr.
Spence inqvired 1Y it would etill be fair to aseesa the church for this
eervi�e'-knowing they had already Connected into the 61et Avenue 1inE.
Mr; Cometock� �oneulti�g engineer� explained that in talking about the atnount
oY money tha'�'gcea in�o retirement� they muat Pigure this into general
tax&e� that �very yeax� it ie two QF thrge mille pr more applted on
general taxee'wh3c�t ie specif�cally-applied to retire theee figures.
Mr. Julkrnreki atated he felt the City Council and engineere were wise in
putting this line on University Avenue because in putting the water line
there t�ey did service the irontage on University Avenue snd the church should
pay their ehare. Mr, Spence seaerted the church had purchased the
property before the ahopping center people made notice of their intent
to build a�ehopping center. Counci]man Kirkham etated he did not think
�they coyld�juetify the-releaee at a].1. Councilman Wright etated he
had a pro�poee,l to oifer� that it would have been possible to serve Moon
Pleza by croaeing 62nd from the Weet eide� croseing the highway and going
Nox'th without any line goin� Prom the property line to 61st on the Esst
" eide. fte went on �o- explain that thie was not done as a result of the hear-
ing on the improvement but had it been done they could have saved $2500.00�
that one iormula might be the �hurch be �sked to pay the additional cost
oP running up the East eide to��6let which is app�roximately opposite
Sunriee Drive about $2500.00 and would aeem to h3m about the least they
could sek the church to pay. Mr. Buckley replied that the emount wae
- exceseive but did sgree that he unders�ood it. Mr, Julkowaki stated he
did not feel it wae enough for the church to pay. Councilman Wright
s%sted tFiaty added to hie proposal ehould be the �hrase� "the actual
dollar amoun� to be figured by,the Engineering Department." NLr. Spence
inquired i£.the proporty owned by the Shell Company had Ueen assessed.
Mayor Nee replied it had not becauae their services were eetablished on
61st Avenue.
Motion by Wright that the Aesesament Roll for Sewer e,nd Water #66 be amended

conetruction eoet Pront Yoot baeie•by the engineera and that the assessmer�
on Lote 2� 3� and 4 be sdjusted aecordingly to meet the total; that the
eum to be aeaeesed Lot 5� Parcel 460 be $i,9i3.,50. Mr. Comatock, coneulting
, engineer� etated he 'ielt a water line the calibe�^ of thie property ought
to be assessed� that the church would�firid out these two Pire hydrants
� wovld be well'worth�•the aeaeesmenta and� hasically� the only two hydrante
that would service them in a fire would be acroas the etreet and behind
them and this warranted a 1CXY,� aeseesment. Motion by Wright to amend
motion to read that $500.00 be added to previoue motion for two fire hydrante,
�Couac3lman Sher3d8n eXplained to Mr. Buckley and Mr, Spence the City Council
wae almoet obligated to runsthie through as the,asaeaement had been propos-
ed oY $3200.00 and the motion on the floor would,bring it up to almost that
' and woUld think if the church felt they ehould voice an objection they
I could teke whatever steps they wiahed after that. He explained that
Conncilman Wright was trying to work ovt something oY benefit but a court
wovld have to decide if there was $3200.00 benefit to the churcii property,
The motion died ,for�lack of a eeCOnd. Mr, Buckley stated in view of what
