Swimming To City Council Members:
Pool
Dr. Moore, Chairman of Recreation Committee, says that the matter con-
cerning; the City leasing the Shell Pool S or the summer is definitely
not settled with his committee. Ife himself has negotiated with Jonas
Shell for the pool and Shells have stated that they will rent the pool
for a period of time for instruction only this is supposed to take
about 6 weeks for the $400.00 fee, but that they will not allow it
any longer.
Dr. Moore feels that, the kids :should be given the opportunity to swim
or take lessons if at all possible. lie says that.the recreation program
can still be chanfred to accomodate the swimming program. Mr. Eyeington
says it might take several days or a week to put, the pool in condition.
In any event, Dr. Moore wants a formal approval or rejection of the
proposal the Shells have made for the $100.00 for about six weeks.
PIPase give this your consideration and indicate your vote below so
that I can get Dr. Moore an answer today.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Yours,
Jay C. Sloan

Lift Mr. City Council :Member:
Station
(Shells) After much negotiations with the attorney for the Shell estate, your
Mayor and City Attorney have finally reached an agreement to lay before
the members of the council. Substantially it is as follows:
1. The City would obtain on its usual easement form an easement
from the Shells covering approximately 4.6 acres of land that the
City engineers say we need for the lift station and the sewer line
below the bluff in the Country Club addition.
2. The cost would be an even $3,500.00.
The easement papers are drawn and can be executed as far as we know
rather rapidly. We feel that something needs to be done rather quickly.
The contractor who won the bid for the work out there is about to finish
in Georgetown and if he is to honor his bid he wants to know right away,
otherwise Mr. Eyeington feels he will pull out. Our engineers feel that
if we put the same job out again for bids -that the bids would be much high—
er than those we have. It is possible that the additional costs might
exceed what we have to pay for.the, easement.
What are the alternates? • The matter would have to go into court and the
Co,nmissioners would set the amount to pay for an easement. It could
likely be $4,000.00 to 95,000.00. The first hearing could probably
not take place for another 30 days, and therefore we would be somewhere
between one and two months just aett.inti the figrure that the comrissi.oners
would agree. on.
Your City Attorney feels that we have been robbed, but that in reality
we are better off to pay the sum -and proceed with our plans. I join
with him and feel that we should proceed too. Tile best deal is the
cheapest deal that can be made under the circumstances, and this looks
like it.
Please indicate your vote on bottom of this letter so that we can give
the attorneys an ansiver as soon as possible and formally ratify the
decision at the city council meeting next week.
