{ City Attorney Haynes explained that the Housing Authority in development of the Sherman Street Site has a requirement to perversE the Park to the main that they must discharge into at the Housinc Authority cost. Under their rules, in order to.do work on someone elsE_ property, even the City of Paris's, they would have to receive an easement, and when they finish the work, they would have to dedicate it back to the City, which is time consuming, we offered and they accepted, for the City to do the project in house, and they would pay the total cost of the project. City Attorney Haynes said their Engineer is going to do what ever engineering needs to be done with it, and the City Engineer will direct the project. City Attorney Haynes said the Housing Authority has requested a letter from the City Manager covering this matter. City Attorney Haynes also advised that another matter with the Housing Authority on the Jackson Street site, they have three lots that are located in the flood plain, and according to their rules, they can not develop a project that has any part of this property within a flood plain, so we have agreed, and this will be included in the same letter that the Manager will sign, that the City of Paris will accept by deed those three lots after their Final Plat has been approved. In the final plat there will be dedicated drainage easement that goes across part of one of these lots, then if there is any privately owned land between that property and the creek, the Housing Authority will have the obligation to procure a drainage easement for the water to go from the end of the City's easement on. After that dedication has occurred, the Housing Authority can deed to the City of Paris the three lot conditioned upon the Housing Authority maintaining the three lots wit or without the facilities of playgrounds.
