PASSED AND ADOPTED this 11th day of April, 1974 by the following called vote: AYES: Hastings, Lindow, Clodt, Wagner and Knauft NOES: none Absent: none Ralph Morgan representing Landon Exley came into the meeting at 10:15 a.m. Mr. Morgan gave his presentation and reasons regarding the extension of the Sewer Contract time to enable a longer repay- ment time. Attorney Howell said that he felt it was not only a legal problem but more of a policy problem and the many contracts that had already expired would be an accounting problem. The final outcome would perhaps not benefit the developer inasmuch as, all the expired oontracts to be picked up, funds would be used to pay them and would make even less to refund the people who had instigated the extended contract time. Mr. Shook's analysis indicated that the District can not renew all expired contracts without more legal complications than we already have. Discussion regarding more study of the sewer refund program, meeting set for May 16 at 8:30 a.m. set up as a work day on sewers and Mr. Morgan will be notified of the decision.
