850 Resolution No. 2002- 009, approving the form of the Incentive Agreement with Hydro-Conduit, and authorizing and directing the President of the Board to execute, on behalf of the Paris Economic Development Corporation, the Incentive Agreement, was presented. City Manager Malone informed the board that he asked Shawn Napier, City Engineer, to attend the meeting to describe the project and what the city has done and where this line ties into the plant. Mr. Napier came forward and explained that Mr. Wall had called and informed him that they were going to have to close the plant down because they did not have enough water to operate. They had only 17 gallons a minute when they went to the site. Mr. Napier said there is a six inch line that was put in by Wall Concrete about twelve years ago, and there is a slanted portion of the line that is running across the railroad track. He said that ties into a four inch line that is in Sycamore Street and that four inch line is an old cast iron line that is very old and- probably has Iow pressure and needs to be replaced. Mr. Napier said that the City went to Neagle Street where there was a new eight inch line and installed about a block and half of eight inch water line, then came up north. Mr. Napier said that he met with the plant manager of Hydro-Conduit and he agreed that the city would install the line through our right-of-way, and he would take it from there and run it due east to their box culvert plant to a fire hydrant. Mr. Napier presented a drawing illustrating the project. Mr. Napier said when they tied everything in, they turned the water line on and had the same 17 gallons a minute. Mr. Napier said they found that the inch and half line they had going from the meter into the building was corroded causing most of the problem. City Manager Malone pointed out that one of the advantages of this project is that we now have a new eight inch line that serves the fire hydrant located next to the building. He said the cityspent about $16,000.00 running the eight inch line and there is great water pressure now for fire protection for the box culvert facility. City Manager Malone said it has been looped in to the six inch line that goes to the original tie-in on the four inch line. He advised that in the future the city will go back and replace the four inch line. After discussion, a motion was made by Director Fendley, seconded by Director Severson, for approval of the resolution. The motion carried unanimously.
