<br />and a form of Lease for sewage disposal facilities from CLAY UTILITIES, INC. which leases have
<br />been approved by the Utility;
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Clerk cause a notice to be prepared in due
<br />legal form of the hearing on the proposed leases for waterworks facilities and sewage disposal
<br />facilities with CLAY UTILITIES, INC.; that the hearing be had at the regular meeting of this
<br />Council to be held on the 14th day of March, 1977, at the hour of 7:00 p.m. (E.S.T.); that a
<br />copy of the proposed leases be placed on public file in the office of the City Clerk starting
<br />tomorrow and remain available to the public until the time of the hearing.
<br />/s/ Roger O. Parent
<br />Member of the Common Council
<br />A public hearing was held at this time on the resolution. Mr. Robert Parker, Chief Deputy At-
<br />torney, indicated this resolution was necessary to set the public hearing for the lease agree-
<br />ments between Clay Water Works and the City. He said the reason for this resolution was that
<br />the statute requires a certain degree of formality. He said the resolution asks that the
<br />public hearing be set for March 14, 1977. He indicated there was a tight schedule to complete
<br />the purchase prior to June 1, 1977. Mrs. Karen Gleason, Director of Civic Planning, indicated
<br />she was surprised at the timetable. She asked why they would not be willing to sell on June 2.
<br />Mr. Parker indicated that this sale was being made under internal revenue laws and it must be
<br />completed within one year. Mr. Daniel Manion, attorney, indicated he was a representative of
<br />Clay Concerned Citizens. He questioned the necessity of the language in the resolution. Mr.
<br />Parker indicated they had attempted to follow- the language and the.requirements of the statutes.
<br />Council Member Horvath indicated that as he understood this to read, if the Council approved
<br />this resolution they were approving thenegotiations for the City and Clay Utilities, and if they
<br />passed this resolution they were agreeing with the Administration.
