donating park ground within the Alturas Park Subdivision at time city
approved the Alturas Park Subdivision. The location of the well was in
the center of the dead end street Stanley.
Councilman Fullmer stated he was disappointed in Mr. Seatons following
thru with earlier committment on the drilling of the well. That Mr.
Seaton had said the cost would be between $20,000 and $30,000.
Mayor and council discussed why the value of drilling the well is only
$10,000. Engineer Alder said Mr. Seaton had received a bid for that
amount and the city had not required a certain depth or a test on well.
Councilman Boyd Fullmer stated that in view of the fact the city does
not have specific requirements for well, and in view of engineers report
of being a poor location and relative to the apparent sufficient water
in area it seems the city would be better off with the $10,000.00 cash
in lieu of park or well donation, therefor, Councilman Fullmer moved
to accept the $10,000 in lieu of well from Mr. Seaton. Councilman
Taylor seconded motion. All councilmen voted in favor of motion.
