A brief recap of the previous month's hearing was given by
Mr. Fisk and Mr. Camardella.
Greg Spalinger, 315 Shahafta Circle, said he felt the city
should take over the roads as well as the sewer and water
improvements. He felt they had access to road graders and
would do a more efficient job on the roads than the Service
District can do by hiring grading services.
Dan Millard, a resident of Lilly Drive, encouraged the
transfer of the utilities because he felt the area could be
better served by the city's Department of Public Works. He
expressed favoring annexation to the city.

VI. OLD BUSINESS
Mr. Arndt moved to table his
meeting. Seconded by Mr.
The motion of reconsideration of Chris & Ruth Billings'
water bill was voted upon. The motion for reconsideration
carried with a unanimous vote. A recap of the problem was
given by Mr. Carmadella.
Mr. Billings addressed the group and apologized for a
mistatement concerning which company he had contacted first
to change the plastic piping to copper in 1983. He stated
he dealt with TAC Plumbing and Jerry Hollenback, not with
Quality Plumbing and Tom Terry and Ted German. He said
Brechan Enterprises found the leak in a plastic line which
had not been replaced by TAC Plumbing. TAC Plumbing assured
him the job had been completed and repairs had been
completed on the second contact with them. He again stated
he would be willing to pay half the bill, less interest and
late charges, resulting from the water leak.
Mr. Fisk expressed appreciation of the vindication of
Quality Plumbing. Mr. Smith asked how long the time was
between finding the leak and the repair. Mr. Billings
indicated the time lapse was seven months. Board members
recommended Mr. Billings pay half the utility bill, less
interest.
The question was called on the motion from July 31, "Mr.
Arndt moved that the Billings' be allowed to pay half of
their deliquent water bill. Mr. Chandler seconded the
motion." The vote was taken and the motion carried
unanimously.
