He reported that between 1970 and 1971 the daily average of water use had increased by 500,000 gallons. On peak days the system does not produce as much water as is' used and water has to be used from the storage tanks. He said the wells in the Military Road well field are ··fal"t'itig at ·a rate of 2 1 per year. He suggested that some of the old wells that are not pumping sufficient enough water be closed and replaced by a larger well in a better lo.cation. He suggested that the old water plant be rejuvenated and to also build a new plant capable of treating 6 million gallons of water a day. He stated that some lines need to be increased o/ COUNCIL MEETING PAGE 2 JANUARY 6, 1972 in size and new lines need to be constructed.

McClellan told him to examine the water rates and make sure the city is getting all it can out of the system. If it is, then the federal government would be more receptive to possible funds. He said HUD might go 50 percent and EDA 50 percent of industr.ial related water use. Mayor Harden further reported ' that they had also talked with Governor Bumpers and he told them about a possible federal grant that would pay 70 percent of the cost of the water system improvements if the state paid 10 percent and the city paid 20 percent.

Meeting was called to order by Mayor Harden, presiding officer, and the invocation was given by Alaerman Honeycutt. On Roll Call the following members were present as their names were called: Alderman Alberson, Hill, Smith, Honeycutt, Wilson, and Lehman; present 6, absent 0, a quorum was declared. Others present were Mayor Harden; City Clerk Avants; Ben Rice, City Attorney; Ophelia Blasingame, Beautification Director; and Dick Huck, Parks & Recreation Director. PRESENTATION OF MINUTES Minutes of Regular Meeting of January 20, 1972 were presented for study and later approval. Corrections or additions of Minutes for regular meeting of January ,6, 1972 were the next order of business; after no corrections or additions were presented, Alderman Alberson moved, seconded by Alderman Honeycutt to approve the Minutes as written and presented. All voted in the affirmative. WATER DEPARTMENT Balances in Savings Accounts and Bank were presented for Jacksonville Water & Sewer Depar®ment. Mayor Harden reported that he and Tommy Bond had talked with Mr. Wayne Babbit, State Director of Housing and Urban Devel:o·pment, and Mr. Babbit stated that he felt sure the city would qualify for matching funds from HUD~ but such funds would not become available until after Juiy. He recomm~nded that the city go ahead with emergency repairs even though they would not be sublj.ect to matching funds. After discu-ssion, Alderman Alberson moved, seconded by'.'Aloerman Smith to take whatever action is necessary (emergency measures) to keep · the city in water. This would include repairing the old water plant, possibly repair.ing two wells and pipe lines. Mayor Harden reported that some consideration needs to be given to increasing the cost of setting water meters. The current tie on fee is $60.00 and it actually cost approximately $87 .SO, therefore the city looses $27 .SO for every meter that is set. He feels the chargg should be increased to at least $100.00. Also Mayor Harden felt that the cos't for setting meters fbr outside the city should be increased from $100.00 to possibly $250.00 and the rates for water outside the city should be increased. Right now outside the city water users have ,the same rates as ins.ide the city water users, he feels an increase is necessary as the citizens of Jacksonville help pay for their water through taxes that outside the city water users do not have. It was reminded it was recommended that the city examine the water rates and make sure the city is getting all it can of the system. Mayor Harden reported that a special Council Meeting will be called for Thursday, February 10, 1972 to talk with Stephens Investment Company about floating the bonds for water improvements and to consider an ordinance allowing Rebsaman Hospital Commission to float revenue bonds for $600,000 to be matched by Hill-, Burton funds in the amount of -$30'0 ~00 to have $900,000 worth of improvements made to the hospital.

'40 ,acres was abandoned when the city purchased the 80 acres on Graham Road. Now Mrs. Franks states that the city did not keep their agreement with her b, 1 eaving the grounds in a mess, so she w::>uld be agreeable for the city to bulldoze the 40 acres and in turn the city could retain their 10 acres for use as a dump.

WATER DEPARTMENT Balances in Savings Accounts and Banks were presented for Jacksonville Water and Sewer Department. Tommy Bond reported that most of the repairs at the water plant have been completed, the air controls still need to be worked on but most everything else has been completed. Tommy . Bond rep.orted that since the new water rates have gone into effect tli e water demand has g o ne down partially due to the cool weather and partially because the industries have become aware of their waste of water and have . dev:eloped new methods. Tommy Bond further reported tbat Bill Moore has obtained permission to drill 4 test holes for future water wells without having to condemn any property. Mayor Harden stated that there is a need for a new method of reading the water meters. Currently the entire water department crew stops work on other .projects on the 15th to read the meters and on the 26th to collect past due bills. This tj1 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 7, 1972 PAGE 2 way the meters are quite frequently misread which necessitates rereading the meters. The new method propsed is that one man with one helper read all the meters. In order to do this he would have to start reading 'meters '-On the 8th of the month and cont:i.j}uereading them until the 24th of .th~ month. Mayor Harden further stated that Max Kerly who has 12.y~ars experiences in meter reading is wi ll i ng to take this posit ion · for -$500 a wonth. The only troubl e with the new method is the first month, s om e persons will have a lowbilt and others a high bill depending on .when their meters are read, but thereafter the b i lling procedure won't change, only the meter reading sequence wi~l change. After discussion Alderman Alberson moved,. seconded by Alderman Lehman that the Water Company ado pt the new . method o f reading the meters and that the salary for the rt ew position be $500 a mont4 wAtth gasoJine furnished for use i n his automobile while reading the mete~s • . il vote aye.
