• • Regular Meeting, November 19, 1980, Page 3 by Councilman Simons. The motion carried 4 ayes and 0 nays. Ayes: Councilmen Tomerlin, Kibodeaux, Cline, Simons Nays: None 8. A request was made by Public Works Director Hodge to purchase a three-side mower. The cutting range of this mower is 15 feet. After purchase of the self-propelled pneumatic tired roller from Fogle Equipment there is $8,869.00 unen- cumbered out of the allocated funds. The cost of a 15' mower should fall well within this amount. Motion was made by Councilman Kibodeaux to receive bids on a 15 foot mower on December 10, 1980. The motion was sec- onded by Councilman Tomerlin. The motion carried 4 ayes and 0 nays. Ayes: Councilmen Tomerlin, Kibodeaux, Cline, Simons Nays: None 9. Administrative Reports Dave Corbin introduced Sure Flow representatives, who showed a T.V. film of the sanitary sewer line in Fairmont • Park. There was lengthy discussion concerning effective methods that might be utilized to relieve the sewer prob- lems in the area. Dave Corbin reported he hoped the cost of repairs for the area could become a part of the renova- tion undertaken by the EPA Project. Public Works Director Hodge introduced Larry Barron with Layne Texas. Mr. Barron discussed the work being done by Layne Texas on Fairmont Park Water Well #2. After discussing and drawing diagrams of the work being done, Mr. Barron stated he felt the Council had chosen the best and cheapest route to lengthen the life of the well. He stated the cost would be between 32 and 35 thousand by the time they are through. The cost of a new well would run around $200,000. H. Carlos Smith gave a progress report on the Lomax Bond projects. He stated the sewer project is 97~ complete and as of the 17th day of November the Lomax Addition has been off the Deer Park sewer line. The water project will be complete in about 10 days and the street project should be complete and ready to bid by the second week in December. There was some discussion by Council concerning the existing residences in La Porte who do not have access to sanitary sewer. Councilman Tomerlin asked how much money was in the • Sewer Improvement Fund? He was told that as of this date there was $139,000 in that fund. Councilman Tomerlin re- quested an estimated cost for providing service to those residences of La Porte presently not serviced by sanitary sewer. Hodge stated he would attempt to provide the re- quested information by next workshop.
