WHEREAS,it is deemed advisable that City Park be improved by the construction of tennis courts (hereinafter referred to as the "Project") in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 384 of the Code of Iowa, 1977,as amended,for the City of Waukee,Iowa;and WHEREAS,the City intends to contract indebtedness and issue general obligation bonds to provide funds to pay for that portion of the cost of the Project in an amount not exceeding $50,000;and WHEREAS,pursuant to Section 384.26 of the Code of Iowa,1977,as amended,before the City may institute proceedings for the issuance of general obligation bonds for the Project,the City must hold a special election upon the proposition of issuing such bonds and receive a favorable vote from at least sixty percent of the total votes cast at such election. The 2nd part of the order was that by February 28,1978,the City of Waukee shall certify to the Iowa DEQ that equipment to measure and continuously record total sewer influent flow and equipment to measure sewer effluent flow has been installed and is operating. The City council is appealing this because of lack of time to issue and award contract.Approximate cost of this project would be,for the measuring equipment only,$4,000.00.This requirement is arbitrary and would not be required for the safe and proper operation of the aerated waste stabilization lagoon of the City of Waukee.Also said requirements may result in wasted funds for the reason that the study evaluating the City of Waukee which is required by the same order may show the necessity for different type of equipment or operation. ~ a ing adjourned. _~hd~ M or Carried 4 to O.
