The subject of the executive session was discussion on the purchase
of land for a future landfill site.
City Attorney, Bill Laughlin, stated that the property owners would
be agreeable to payments of five (5) equal installments. This could be ac-
complished by the issuing of time warrants. He further explained that the
Council must pass a resolution stating their intent to issue time warrants.
The resolution must then be published and a period of thirty (30) days must
elapse to give time for any petitions to be filed opposing Council action.
At the end of the thirty (30) day period the Council must adopt an ordinance
for the issuing of the warrants.
Councilman Hullum stated that he thought that a law suit might be
filed if the City used the proposed land for burying trash and garbage.
Councilman Kelley moved that the administration proceed with the
time warrant procedure. Councilman Hullum amended the motion to state that
the administration proceed provided that the core samples taken of the pro-
perty were of a good quality.
City Attorney Laughlin stated that the contract had provisions for
the core sampling of the property to establish our working depth. The motion
was then seconded by Councilman Stasney.
Some discussion followed. It was the opinion of the majority of
the Council that the City needed to go to a depth of forty -five (45) to sixty
(60') feet.
Councilman Evans called for the question. The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Evans, Kelley, Cannon, Hullum, and Stasney
Nays: Councilman Kloesel
There being no further business the executive session adjourned.
