The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-Commissioner, Mr.
Howell.
Presbyterian
Mr. Roberts advised that the Community/Church was quite upset
over their Sewer Assessment and felt that it was high. There was
a lengthy discussion of the matter in which it was brought out
that if there was any concession made due to it being church prop-
erty then all the other chu5ch properties in the City would have
to have like consideration. Mr. Waggoner advised that he did not
take the average width of the lots on the Sherry Drive side and
that that might make a slight reduction in the assessment.. It was
felt by the Commissioners that the front footage of the lots bene-
fitted should be used for assessment, even though sone of the lots
are in the rear of the others . There was no action taken on this.
There was a discussinn of using the average width of lots for
making the assessments and after a discussiion Dr. Whitehurst
moved that in view of the difference in shape of a number of lots
in the City, some lots will measure 50 ft. across the front and
60 ft. across the back while other may measure 60 ft. across the
front and 50 ft. across the back, therefore it is considered fair
to all concerned to take the average width' of the lot measured at
the front and back for assessment purposes, seconded by Mr. Roberts
and carried. The City Clerk was directed to see the City Att:,r-
ney for a Resolution in line with said motion to amend Resolution
59-2
The bids on the City Manager' s car were next considered and upon
Illation of Mr. Roberts , seconded by Dr. Whitehurst and carried
approval was given to accept the bid of Brooks-Plymouth, Inc . and
to purchase a Plymouth for 1798.35 , which was the low bid.
There being no further business the Mayor declared the meeting
adjourned.
