Regular Council Meeting June 8, 2015 Page 11 Hudgens and his back property line was the city limits. He said there would be a lot of people making application. City Attorney Kent McIlyar referenced the consideration of disannexations in 2013, and asked to City Council to be mindful that the city boundaries had to be contiguous or they would be creating problems. He also said they were not annexed all individually but as one large tract in 1997. Mayor Hashmi asked the Council to be mindful of what Mr. Mcllyar told them, but that his mind had not changed. Mayor Hashmi said he would like to place the disannexation requests on an agenda after all requests were received so they did not have to keep coming back. 20. Discuss Cox Field Airport utilities. Mr. Godwin gave an update to the Council that included engineering services had been contracted with Neal- Schaffer; routes and phasing were complete; the City was currently in the process of acquiring easements; Phase 1 Water would be bid in summer /fall 2015; the project was expanded to include sewer in the Margraves Addition and the plan was to bid that in Spring of 2016, which would enable to City to take three existing sewer lift stations out of service. Council Member Pickle confirmed with Mr. Godwin that there would be no water lines run to the area. Council Member Clifford inquired how close the Reno sewer was to this project and Mr. Godwin told him it was very close. 21. Discuss the possibility of providing city -wide services as related to water, sewer and fire hydrants to underserviced areas in the City of Paris, and provide direction to staff. Mayor Hashmi said Mr. Godwin had already addressed part of this item, but he wanted to know about lack of fire hydrants in the Margraves Addition. He said there was a fire at one point and people could not locate the fire hydrant. Mayor Hashmi said Mr. Godwin had already surveyed the area, and there is a major problem with drainage. However, Mayor Hashmi said water and sewer is what they were discussing and that the people in the Margraves Addition did not want to be disannexed from the City and the City should help them out if there was a way to do so. Council Member Clifford said there were also several people who live on Highway 79 who had been in the City for a long time and really want sewer and water. He asked Mr. Godwin to look into that to determine if it was economically feasible. 22. Discuss and act on a Resolution approving a Tax Abatement Agreement with Paris Lakes Medical Center, LLC. Mayor Hashmi said first of all, that he did not have a conflict with regard to this item and secondly, that he fully supported Mr. Parker creating the hospital but since Mr. Parker had an issue last time with him voting on it, that he was going to recuse himself. Council Member Clifford said he was going to recuse himself due to a conflict of interest.
