The• estimated project cost is $30,250. Mayor Eder accepted Mr. Pott's report for Council consideration. Mottaz suggested contacting the State Health Department before proceeding. Also, he would like a response from Mr. Rogers insurance company on the location of the water line and hydrant. The Council proposed the following steps: 1.

Contact the State Health Department - verify if this well is suitable for use and what requirements the City must meet. 3. Secure the easement to permit testing of the well (Pott suggested testing for chemicals that may have been .used by the company in the old creamery. The Council agreed.) if the Administrator can resolve items 1 and 2 by March 3, he will then request Council authorization to test pump the well. COUNCIL REPORTS: A. Mayor Eder - Office Remodeling - The Council reviewed the evaluation sheet outling the five options considered by the Building Committee. Mottaz reviewed the committee's recommendations and detailed why the committee felt the landfill site would provide the best location for the pro- posed City Office.
