The Mayor further stated he was of the opinion that a detailed plan would be presented with the Engineer's report, so that the citizens would know where the improvements would be constructed. Comm, Crom stated he felt it was best not to devulge the exact location of the sewer plants, as the City would probabl have to purchase property for these plants. The City Engineer informed the Council tha? if the locations are devulged then the eost of the property would go up over night4 They propoae to have tvvo new plants constructed and enlarge the present piant, me plant would be constructed somewhere hi the Ag-ha Medionda Lagoon area which wouid serve Terramar, Also they propose to extend the trunk lines within 1000 feet of .uninhabited areas at such time as improvement plans are presented for such areas. If the sewer bonds are passed it would raise the property taxeb 4 14 per $100.00 ?.ssessed valuation.

Mr. Netka, one of the residents of Terramar, stated he felt the City should purchase the necessary equip- ment to do these improvements themselves. Comm. Crom stated he had checked with other cities on this matter and found they usually contract the larger projects out due to the fact that the equipment is too costly, and the cities take care of the smaller projects
