• • <br />RESOLUTION N0. 793 . <br />WHEREAS, the City of Paris is, and has been for some <br />time, aware of its future need for an abundant water supply <br />to provide adequate water for residential, commercial and <br />industrial growth and expansion, and studies have been com- <br />menced and are continuing for the construction of a dam and <br />reservoir on Sanders Creek, located a few miles North of the <br />City of Paris, which will have a capacity in excess of <br />100,000 acre feet of water. The City of Paris has been work- <br />ing jointly with the Federal Government in securing and re- <br />alizing the construction of this dam and reservoir. The City <br />of Paris is cognizant of the fact that its future water needs <br />will necessitate the building of the Sanders Creek Dam and <br />Reservoir at an early date. <br />The City of Paris has been and will continue to co- <br />operate in every way possible with the Federal Government to <br />build Sanders Creek as a joint venture, and it is the belief <br />of the City of Paris that this project will be completed with- <br />in a maximum time of five to seven years. However, should <br />there develop any problem which would delay the completion of <br />the Sanders Creek Dam and Reservoir beyond the date which the <br />city feels it must have use of this water, then and in that <br />event, the City of Paris, in order to provide ample industrial <br />water, will immediately take the necessary steps to construct <br />the Sanders Creek Dam and Reservoi_r as a city project only, <br />and without the participation of the Federal Government. <br />The City of Paris is advised by its consultants that <br />it is entirely feasible and practicable fcrthe City of Paris <br />to construct this Dam and Reservoir as a city project. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the City Council <br />of the City of Paris will do everything.within its power to <br />pursue and expedite the joint construction of the Sanders <br />Creek Dam and Reservoir, or, if it should become desirable, it <br />will construct the dam and reservoir as a City of Paris pro- <br />ject only. <br />Passed and adopted this 28th day of April, A. D., <br />1958. <br /> <br />~ Mayor <br />ATTES : <br />.'C <br />City C erk <br />APPRO AS TO FORM: ' <br />City Att ney <br />
