The Little League plans to use "Caseys" for this season and when they are prepared to construct the line, accurate levels and measurements should be made and grades staked. NONA, PALM, PACIFIC, The Nona Street installation from Palm Avenue ORANGE, COLE, MAIN, to Orange Street then south to an existing BROWNING & CLIFTON sewer south of Pacific Street involving 2390 lineal feet of sewer, 80 feet of encased sewer under the A T & S F Railway and 13 manholes is estimated to cost $23,800.00. The other area was figured on two different routes, but the one routing southerly which would require about 650 feet of easements, was considered the most logical at an approxi- mate cost of $37,500.00. This route would serve about 97 residences, commercial and religious establishments. MOTION Upon motion by Director Disch, duly seconded by Director LeVesque and carried unanimously, the economic feasibility study as presented by Engineer Miller for the area outlined by Dr. May 8, 1967 1263 McCarty and when the area is annexed, District will provide sewer service.

CHURCH AND CYPRESS Engineer Miller reported on the feasibility AREA of installing sewer service to a potential land development on the east side of Church Street near Cypress Street. He outlined two possible ways to service the area - one, connecting with the existing sewer at 6th and Church Street with 10 possible connections along the route at a cost of $5,125.00. The other possible route would be to connect to existing sewer in Cypress Street easterly of Palm Avenue with 27 possible connections at an approximate cost of $10,125.00. At the present time there is no action neces- sary on these sewer studies. TRACT 7752 SEWER STUDY Engineer Miller also reported on his sewer study feasibility, routing and costs to Tract 7752 north of Highland Avenue in the east side of Palm Avenue.
