Mr. Welbanks is now ready to build about 36 houses in the area. The street work is done and the water main installed. It was the opinion of the City Manager that the city can Y;. a furnish enough water with the present main to thds area. Mr. Welbanks suggested that' in order that he make a satisfactory showing with the Real Estate Board that there will be ample water supply that an agreement be entered into whereby he would deed to the city the title of the six inch main installed in the tract, which is estimated at about_416,000, and give up any possible refunds and the city assume the cost of ex- tending the main to the tract. This would be a fair arrangement from the city's'stand- point in the opinion of the City Manager. The cost of extending the main would be approximately 812,000. A resolution had been prepared authorizing the City Manager to enter into such an agreement with Mr. Welbanks and it was the recommendation of the City Manager that it be adopted. Councilman Werder asked if the city had the money to extend the main. City Manager Blom replied that it did not and that the agreement provides that the installation of the main depends on the financing of the mains in that area. City Attorney McCarthy read the agreement and resolution. Councilman McNulty offered resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Nelson Welbanks for the extension of water mains to his subdivision and moved its adoption, seconded by Councilman Britschgi. On roll call, resolution was unanimously adopted with Councilman Armstrong absent.
