City E~ineer was present. City Attorney was not present. pARKING AT UTiLTTYBUILDINq: City E,~°ineer stat6d there is a parking problem at the Utility Building and the fire station. Sometimes the drive going in is extremely tight because of all the parked cars.on both sides. One of the fireman parked a truck with a ladder sticki~ out, and a street department dump truck pulled in there today and he failed to notice the ladder sticking out and bent the ladder, causi~over a humdred dollars worth of damage. They would like the insurance turned into the City's insurance carrier. Mr. Hohl stated he took the position, and told them so, that if someone didn't h~ve enough sense to leave ladders stickiD~ out across a driveway, shouldn't get paid for any dan~ge, but said he would briD~ it to the Board of Works and if they decided to turn it in, fine. M~yor Pickett stated it would be turned into the insurance compmuy, that is what we have insurance for. He also stated he would go over and review the parkiD~problem to see what could be done. CUltB CUT 0NNAIN STREET: Mmrshall Andich appeared before the Board and stated he had purchased Dr. G~-~dis building which is the building just to the north of the Carmel Theater. Dr. Gerdis' sister still owns the theatre so some point in time it could be sold and there is a problem with access goi~ to the building. What he was requestingwas to put a drive way from M~in Street next to where Mr. Thomas lives back to the other buildiD~ on Ra~eline. He was requesting a curb cut. Mr. Hohl moved to permit the curb cut requested by Mr. Andich onE asr M~in Street, adjacent to the west side of the Carmel Real Estate office ~ud the cut be adjacent to the drive and for Mr. Andich to check with the City Engineer'S office on his plans, Mmyor Pickett seconded it and it passed unanimously.

A lady had come into ordinances spec~ y ng her office and wanted to put a cash bond up in lieu of a so_rety bond and inquired as to the amount that would be required. Mrs. Smith stated thmt bonds had always come from the engineer's office for $1,000.00. When she looked through the ordinances, she found a clause which stated a cash or surety bond should be posted with the City but no amo~uut was stated. Mr. Hohl stated he felt the Board of Public Works could request any amount. Clerk-Treasurer suggested something in writing to show people who come in. Mayor Pickett requested the City Engineer research the matter and bring back a recon~nendatlon. DICK FI8~R: BMTAM LANE SUB-DIVISION: Mr. Hohl stated he would like to get ~t on record that it was determined ~o extend water service to Mr. Fisher, Page 2 7/1~/77 Bria~ Lane sub-division. It has been indicated to Mr. Fisher that he will get his water at approximately 900 feet north of 106th Street on Haverstick Ro~d and extend that to his sub-division. We will not sign an agreement with Indianapolis Water to include this project. Historically, the Town Board made a decision at one brief point in time that they were goi~ to purchase certain water facilities going to Indi~uapolis Water. At that particular time, there was some water main on Haverstick Road that Schutz & Thompson proposed to construct all the way down to 106th Street. His office allowed a deletion of that portion of line because it would be red~ud~nt. Also, we entered into a temporazy agreement with Indianapolis Water for temporary service to Bris~r Creek sub-division. One of the provisions of that agreement was that Thompson wouldn't get a~yrefunds from the Water Co. for puttio~ the mains in. Another provision was we had no means to collect any availability f~nds from that ~round because .it was served by Zndian~polis. The monies collected off the ground go to pay for over sizingm~ins, etc., and he has proposed that the City make up the difference. The City would pay that portion of the cost of the 12" main extension south that would be equivalent to approximately 963 feet of main that was left out on Haverstick. Estimated cost $13.00/foot or $12,~19.00, and that we also pay the portion of cost that would have been the availability money that would have been collected from Briar Creek, a total of 81.3~6 acres @ $~ per thousand square feet or $17,717.00 for a total of $30,236.00. The total cost of extending the main to the Fishers property would be in the vicinity of $50,000.00. This leaves Fisher in the vicinity of $20,000.00 he would bare eligible for re-imbarsement. It is necessary to obtain easement fTom the Hensel's. There is a problem with a drainage ditch. They will want somewhere around $1,500.00 for the easement. There being no further business, the meeti~was adjourned at 3:~0 PM. Clerk-Treasurer Approved: err B.' Pigke~,
