The matter of closing a portion of Linda Lane came up for discussion, whereupon
the City Attorney was directed to prepare the necessary ordinance for closing the same.
r 4/ Moved by Alderman Willis that the Board of Aldermen accept the offer of the
Public Housing Administration, in its entirety, which reads as follows:
"I understand that developers of subdivisions in Wichita Falls are required by the
City to pay the costs of their streets, water and sewer systems and that they are
entitled to recover from the City, over a 15—year period, a portion of those costs
through refunds out of water rents collected by the City t'ater Department from the
users of the facilities. Entering into such a long term agreement with the City
to entitle the Government to participate in refunds will entail considerable expense
in determining and computing the Government's original and depreciated costs of
the facilities upon which to base refundw, to say nothing of the extra bookkeeping
necessary for periodical post audits of the water rents and related aspects of the
operation. In lieu of such we are willing to make an outright grant to the City
of the streets, water and sewer mains and easements over properties to be sold by
the Government without any demands for refunds and the City to accept them without
any further demands upon the Government.
The streets are to be repaired by the Government which will embrace cutting out
heaved areas, filling, rebasing and surfacing the repaired areas, straightening the
badly dislodged and leaning curbs to enable a better overall street surfacing job
when the City is prepared to do the work. After the City Fater Department has re—
paired the cuts made in the pavement caused by its work of installing water meters,
we will want to enter into a formal contract at once with your City Street Department
for this work, the costs of which will probably not exceed $4,000. This arrangement
is more in keeping with the trade worked out by this Agency with the City several
months ago.
Summing up, our proposal is to repair the streets as above stated and give the City
the streets, water and sewer mains and all easements necessary for their operation and
the Park area designated on the Plat as Lot 17 in Block 2, the latter having an appraised
• value of $10,400. This is a firm offer on the part of the Federal Government and we
request a firm acceptance by the City of Wichita Falls."
Motion seconded by Alderman Lam and carried.
4 Moved by Alderman Liepold that the County Judge of Wi&ita County, Texas, be and
he is hereby requested to apply for Federal funds and assistance in the expansion Drocram
of the Wichita General Hospital.
Motion seconded by Alderman Lam and carried, unanimously.
