Councilman Britschgi suggested that the letter be turned over to the City Manager for action. MR. FRANK DE PATTA appeared before the Council requesting information regarding action taken on his application to annex Lot 2, Block 17, Oak Knoll Manor. City Attorney Currie advised that at the time this came before the Council it was felt that it was a good time to bring in the whole area rather than one lot at a time. He stated that a description of the entire area was required and the whole area will be submitted at one election.

Engineer Jain stated that there is no sewer to serve these lots now, and one will have to be built to serve them. He stated that septic tanks are illegal in the City and building a sewer line for one lot would be more than the one property owner could afford. Councilman Britschgi moved that this matter be turned over to City Engineer, City II Attorney and City Manager as a committee to meet with Mr. DePatta and the owner of the property to see if they can get together on the sewer lateral, and report back next week, seconded by Councilman Stout.
