Lighting on Titus Street
Don Wickstrom explained the concern for lack of proper lighting in the Library
parking lot located at Titus and Second Avenue. Originally an estimate of
$ 7,500. for new lights was considered however another option involves replacing
the existing lights with sodium vapor bulbs, increasing the wattage and also
installing an additional pole.
Judy Woods commented on the Library Board's positive response to improved light-
ing. The on-going concern for adequate parking space will continue to be
explored.
Westview Terrace Sewer (L. I.D. 322)
Wickstrom noted this area, located near the Garrison Creek Reservoir, deals with
___ an u coming_public_hearing on property owners' preference to be on sewer and
--- -- ---
their concerns to choose annexation versus having to execute a covenant which
is a declaration of annexation whereby their right to vote on an annexation
is forfeited. The Committee received this as an information item..
Amendment to East Hill Community Well Agreement
This item refers to two remaining properties excluded from annexation due to
their location on the east side of 104th, north of S. 240th. Wickstrom pro-
poses an amendment to the East Hill Community Well Agreement to allow the two
property owners to have access to inside water rates providing they remain
own.er-occupied. The Committee recommended approval of the amendment.
Condemnation - Kent Springs Transmission Main
Wickstrom displayed the map showing the location of the line failure requiring
the condemnation of three parcels. The proposed option is preferred due to
the City's existing right of way. The Committee approved the request for author-
ization to proceed.

The area of concern is Boeing Aerospace East at S. 204th and 72nd Ave. S. A
request has been made to cross the roadway with an unlicensed forklift. Author-
ization for a permit is recommended but not an exemption from State law.
