At this time City Attorney Cannon presented the escrow instructions, a grant bargain and sale deed, and an agreement regarding the proposed sale of five (5) acres of land at the Old Ranch to the Eagles Lodge. It was pointed out that the City was to pay the entire cost of the Title Policy and 50% of the escrow fees. Inasmuch as it was the understanding of the Board that the pur­chase price of the property was to be $10,000.00 net to the City, the City Manager was instructed to contact the Eagles regarding payment of the Title Policy and escrow fees and report back to the Commission. At this time Director of Public Works George Wade made a progress report on the pro­posed assessment district for the improvement of East Charleston Boulevard from 15th Street to the intersection of Charleston Blvd, with Fremont Street. Mr. Wade stated that the deeds for the dedication of the alley are being prepared by the City Attorney's office and the property owners are being contacted. He reported that property owners, with two exceptions are in favor of this district and have in­dicated their willingness to dedicate the necessary right-of-way. City Attorney Cannon pointed out to the Commission that the District will have to be handled as as two separate projects. One, the opening of the alley and where there are encroachments on the alley that will require an agreement on the part of the exe­cutor that they will remove the encroachment within five years. The Board then instructed the Public Works Department to take the necessary steps to see how much of this property can be obtained by quit claim deed under these conditions and then the Board will determine whether or not they desire to condemn the property that cannot be obtained by quitclaiming. Mr. Cannon continued that the second step is that at the time the Commission determines that it wants to go ahead, they should have a petition on file for vacation of a por­tion of the street and also a petition for the creation of an assessment district to install the improvements that are desired. Mr. Cannon stated that it appears that the petition for vacation has been filed; however, no action should be taken until all the property owners have signed a petition for the creation of an improvement district to install the necessary improvements. City Engineer Wade reported that the Hinson Street Sewer line to the new Fire Station north of Charleston Boulevard has been inspected, the Notice of Completion filed on February l4, 1957 and recommended that this work be accepted and the retention of $261.00 be paid to the contractor George E. Miller Co. Commissioner Bunker moved that the Hinson Street Sewer line be accepted, the performance bond released and payment of $261.00 to contractor, George E. Miller Co. be approved and the Treasurer and Comptroller authorized to issue the warrant. Motion seconded by Commissioner Whipple and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Commissioner Sharp.
