people that are concerned. Mr. Stuckey urged the Council to look at it strongly, <br />do we need a 25% increase. <br />Grady Finney, 2610 W. Campbell, appeared before the Council, stating that Mr. <br />Malone was talking about replacing water and sewer lines around town, how <br />about replacing some of the streets on the streets that do not have sewer lines <br />with in the city limits of Paris. Mr. Finney said the City is asking for an increase <br />on the water and sewer, and there are streets right here in the city limits that do <br />not have sewer lines. Mr. Finney wanted to know if the City can place new <br />sewer lines where they\re are none with this increase. <br />City Manager Malone explained that the customer or developer initially pays for <br />any water or sewer line extension, gives it to the City, and what the City is to do <br />with it is to maintain it in a proper and functional condition. City Manager <br />Malone said if you moved into an area that is not developed and you wished to <br />have a water or sewer line extended to you, then you have the opportunity to go <br />through a pro rata extension where you can pay the cost of bringing the service <br />to your resident and anybody that ties on to in between you and the point of <br />connection would have an opportunity to pay for their share when they tie on to <br />the system with in the first fifteen years of that extension. City Manager Malone <br />further advised that when a developer goes out and builds a subdivision he is <br />paying for the water and sewer lines, streets, and curb and gutter, and all those <br />costs go towards the cost of the lot. <br />Mr. Finney said there is a piece of property next to his that the City wants <br />$580.00 for a tap, and $4,500.00 to run the line sewer approximately 40 feet. <br />City Manager Malone advised Mr. Finney that he would be happy to review this <br />matter with him tomorrow at 2:00 P. M. <br />Rodney Anderson, 1211 S. E. 21St, stating that his understanding is Tensaka met <br />representatives of the City, there is more information to Tensaka, he wanted to <br />know if that was true. <br />
