I4 January 26, 1976 An independent agency will collect the funds from the residents and dis- burse them to the construction company. These monies will be put in an escrow account and final disbursement will be made only upon acceptance of the system by the City Engineer. This letter sets forth three requirements - 1) 100% participation; 2) no sewer permits may be obtained from the City until funds are in escrow; 3) connections from home to lot line is the responsibility of the resi- dents. Mr. Locher said there are some things that must be done before this pro- ject can be started. 1) the City must have copies of performance bonds and certificates of insurance; 2) one year guaranty of the system by the contractor; 3) money in escrow before the work begins; 4) an agreement that once completed the system will be turned over to the City; 5) pay- ment to the construction company not to exceed progress minus 10 %; 6) all questions on the installation of the system will be answered by the City Engineer; 7) Be sure of the bonds and insurance and the City in- surance agent should be notified of the construction since it will be done in the City right of way. On the number 2 requirement in Mr. Rehbein's letter, Mr. Locher felt the City cannot prohibit connection to this system because the people haven't paid into the escrow account. Mr. Locher had understood that several of the residents may have a problem financing this cost at this time. The fact that 100% participation is required in the Number 1 statement, makes this repetitive. The Council felt that if the requirement for 100% participation is fulfilled, this would eliminate the necessity for the number 2 stipulation. After some discussion, Mr. Zelinka moved to accept this letter. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried. The Clerk was instructed to contact Mr. James Ray, City Insurance Agent, and inform him of this proposedinstal1- ation. Mr. Rehbein will have anescrow letter prepared for signature of the residents of Shenandoah. Mr. Karth moved and Mr. McLean seconded that Mr. Locher check this letter. Motion carried. Mr. Locher reported that he had checked all records in the Court House and could find no recording for the street located on Mr. Harold Hansen's property. Mr. Locher has a map that was prepared by Mr. Gotwald but can find nothing on record. Mr. McLean felt that this matter had been documented. The owners along that street had signed documents and returned them to Mr. Hansen. This matter had also been before both the Planning and Zoning Board and the Council. The street had been built up and had been inspected and app- roved by Mr. Gotwald. This had taken place after July of 1968. The Clerk was asked to research the minutes for information of this action. Mr. Locher had obtained a deed from Mr. Hansen for this street. Mr. Zelinka moved to accept the deed from Mr. Harold Hansen for the legally described roadway. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried with Mr. McLean abstaining.
