City Manager Hopkins reported to Council as follows: That there was need for
sanitary sewer line extensions in the Lake Sunnyside area to meet both immediate
and future needs in that area. That he had received a cost estimate covering the
gravity lines, manholes and pavement repair for such line extensions from Michae1s-
Stiggins, Inc. in the amount of $11,410.00 along with their recommendation
that these extensions be made while the Sanitary Sewer Contractor is still on the job
in order to take advantage of unit prices which are presently in effect, and,

Motion was made by Councilman Smoak, seconded by Councilwoman Watson and unanimously
carried that the Engineers be authorized to proceed with the necessary line
extensions in the area east and south of Lake Sunnyside.
