Mr. Ivor Lyons. stated that he was under the opinion he had given a fairly concise outline of the entire program in a letter to the Chief Administrative Offcer dated September I, 1961 which crystallized previous conversations between them; that, in this letter, methods were set forth which could best be used for sewering the rest of the City; that by going to aerial survey, as opposed to the orthodox sur- vey field parties, the City could be saved thousands of dollars and months of time; that aerial photography would give them a complete photograph of every street on a transparency, and is cheaper than a field survey; that, with these methods they are working out with Fairchild, the City, if it saw fit, by the middle of next year would be in a position to take bids on its final construction pro- gram...being in July,!1962...with the entire City being sewered by Christmas of next year;that, fifteen to eighteen months from now, with securement of funds from the Gov- ernment, this City could be entirely sewered; that, if there is any bottle-neck", it will be in getting the money from the Government, as they take a hard look" at such a program to determine the sincerity in following through; that Stone & Youngberg have indicated to, him that it will be 60 days before getting the first increment; wherein he suggested that, as the first increment is going out to bid that we immediately start processing the next application In order to save time; that it will take 2-3 months to get the first increment done; that he„h,a,s no control over legal or financial situations. Considerable discussion followed wherein Chief Administra- tive Officer Asmus stated that a contract with Stone & Youngberg will be before Council at their next meeting, as a sample contract had not been received until September 25, 1961; that Mrs. Marianne Johnson brought in petitions this morning which covers two areas, which, when completed, will indicate whether the people want sewers and if any areas can be processed for 1911 Act; wherein Councilman Holmes expressed concern over whether those handling these petitions fully understand that they are not actually circulating a 1911 Act; wherein query was made regarding the formation of a 1911 Act District on Holly Street, with the suggestion being made that the people in that area get together and hire their own contractor, as the area is too little for a 1911 Act. 00- AT 12:25 P.M.
