The meeting was called to order at 7 :40 P. M. by Mayor Keith C. Turnbow with the
following City Officials present:

Councilman Marvin J. Anderson Attorney Franklin Smith
Councilman Gerald B. Cheney Engineer David E. Benton (10: 30 P. M. )

Prayer was offered by Councilman Anderson. The minutes of the meeting of Feb. 20,
1974, were approved as typed.
Mayor Turnbow reported that residents on Sabin Drive had found an unusual scum
substance in their water a few days ago, and samples were taken to the Health Depart-

caused blown fuses at Wells No.1 and 5 so that there was no water in part of the City
after the power was back on. (Results from the Health Department tests received
later in the week showed no bacteria contamination. )
Mayor 'lli:rnbow explained that Mr. Perkins and Mr. Keller were present to clear up
any misunderstandings and answer questions about the water and sewer project. Mr.
Pe rkins reviewed the status of the well drilling and displayed several sample s of water
taken from the test pumping' The amount of sand in the samples varied from a heavy
amount of fine sand which settled slowly in the sample dated Feb. 15 to a small amount
of quick-settling sand in the sample dated March 6. Additional tests will be made on
Friday, March 8, at which time it is hoped that the water supply "will be in good shape. II
Facts on the cost and feasibility of getting the sewer line to the Utterbeck Addition on
Wanda Street and the water and sewer lines along 17th Street from AvocetDrive to the
City Limits east of Sabin Drive, areas which were not included in the project plans,
were presented by Mr. Perkins and discussed by the Council. It was felt that plans
whould be made now to use contingency fund moneys for putting the lines on 17th Street
before the street improvements are started there, but any further consideration for
Wanda Street should be delayed until later. Mr. Perkins explained the computer
approach to figuring the water system needs as planned in the project which insures
