of Division No.4. Mayor Wehmann indicated that he would write to the
School Board about planning for schools in the City's impact area. It was
mentioned that the Planning Commission members suggested that a policy be
established relative to areas for parks, such as having developers give
land to the City for parks or having buyers of lots pay a surcharge for the
purchase of park property. Mayor Wehmann pointed out that there is a need
for a water connection fee such as is charged for sewer connections, in or~
der to accumulate funds for future additions to the water system. Engineer

basis for determining what would be appropriate as a water connection fee.

Regarding cleaning the sand out of the water storage tank, Engineer Butler
mentioned that he will try to get a pump from an industrial rental business,
and that it has been suggested that the use of a crane and bucket be tried,
so this possibility will be inrestigated. In connection with the sewer me-
tering equipment, Engineer Butler noted that it has been in operation for
some time, but the representative of Waterworks Equipment Company has never
taken care of getting it properly calibrayed, and Mayor Wehmann expresed the
feeling that this matter should be taken to court. It was mentioned by
Mayor Wehmann that he has written a letter to the City Engineer outlining
a schedule for the paving work on Southwick Lane and Midway Avenue.
