Mr. Johnson stated he felt the steps required for the applicants to follow in the review process would be adequate. Councilman Swift stated that inasmuch as this was the first EDC facility outside the City limits in an area that does not have sanitary sewers that it might be interesting for the City Attorney to look at the statute which along with private economic development also mentions the abatement of sewage sanitary difficulties and pollution abatements for the purpose of determining the possibility of the interested parties installing sewer lines financed by the same kind of EDC bonds.
