@A The question arose as to what a floating deed represented and why the City could not obtain a regular deed for the street. Herb Frahm, engineer representing Oddstad Homes, stated tYiat the reason a floatin� deed was given at this time was that it takes time to determine the ali�nment of the street. Bq givin� the City a floating deed, the City will have the right to set an 8Q ' easement wherever they choose, and after the completion of �,.. the alignment then a regular deed will be given the City. Th3.s was followed by consider- � able discussion after which Councilman Granger moved that the Council accept a copy of the preliminary report and it be made a part of the record, seconded by Councilman Stout. Councilman Britschgi wanted to know what was going to happen to the water during the peak of the run-ofF season.- The Mayor ruled the question out of order as it had nothing to � do with the present motion. Councilman Granger was asked to resate his motion which was � that a copy of the map, which had been presented earlier in the meeting showing the pro- posed Farm Hills Blvd. , be turned over to the City Clerk as evidence of good faith, and the Clerk in turn would turn it over to the City Engineer for checkin� and study. Motion carried on roll call with Councilman Britschgi voting N0. �ouncilman Jones brought up the question of whether or not fees should be charged for , annexation or subdivision rights. The Mayor asked that the City Attorney make a written �, report as to whether or not the City can or connot char�e a f ee for property already in the City. The Attorney stated that a distinc�ion must be made as to whether this is a subdivision fee or an annexation fee. Councilman Stout was of the opinion that this , should be considered as an annexatio� fee.

', Is it going to be dumped into Stulsaft Park? Mr. Frahm stated that about 50 to 60� of the water is carried toward Stulsaft Park. �:City Engineer Jain stated that the creek is , the natural channel for the water to drain. He �tated tha.t he did�'t know what else the City could do to take care of the water as it was his belief that about 80� of the water I' will drain tcsward Stulsaft Park. This was followed by considerable discussion after which �l�l, Mr. Frahm stated that he thought that perhaps an 8 � x 8� box with a filter could be built at the end of each drain pipe emptying into the channel which would help to clean the oil, � etc. from the water emptying into �tulsaf't Park. Mr. Frahm suggested that his company ' and the City Council meet and discuss this before accepting the second unit.
