Surplus of Vehicles
Gill stated that each year the City reviews the fleet and
determines which vehicles and equipment are no longer useful
because of high mileage and high repair costs. Spencer gave a
brief run-down of the vehicles listed to be surplused.
Committee unanimously recommended that the list of vehicles and
equipment presented be surplused.
Kingsport Condemnation Ordinance (Information)
Brubaker stated that this was an information item and that the
Committee had previously recommended amending the existing
ordinance. He requested authorization to move forward with this
amendment to the Kingsport ordinance. He said that there are
concerns about proceeding with condemnation before we completed our
environmental review. He stated that this had been brought before
the committee in May and he is now ready to take it to full
Council.

principle, to construct a separate sewer main to pump their
system's sewage directly into the Metro line at their own expense.

Brubaker described the direction which Soos Creek will take their
line and said in order to accomplish the, the we need to grant them
a franchise to construct a sewer line in our street right of way on
those City streets which are subject to their design. Brubaker
said that under state law, a franchise cannot be passed on the same
day it is introduced and they are trying to complete construction
by the end of October. He explained that he is working on the
draft of the franchise and would like to get it introduced to
Council on July 5th and at the following Council meeting have the
hearing and passage. The franchise would become effective when
Soos Creek is actually ready to start construction.
Brubaker requested authorization to enter into a franchise
agreement (Ordinance) with Soos Creek Water & Sewer District for
the construction of the alternate sewerage trunk line to serve Soos
Creek Water and Sewer District.
Brubaker said that Soos Creek has agreed to provide additional on-
site storage in case they do have a "high wet" situation. He said
they will monitor their system more closely and stay in contact
with the City.
Committee unanimously recommended authorization to enter into a
franchise (Ordinance) with Soos Creek Water & Sewer District.
Meeting adjourned: 4:55 P.M.
