viewed Resolution #1997 NCS establishing certain

nections, stating that this was called to the
Council's attention because of the location of
the area involved. He pointed out that the

southeastern portion outside of the City does have
a serious problem and should be studied and con -
sidered at the same time. A discussion was
held on whether grant outside sewer connec-
tions in this area because of the Sunny Slope
Annexation election failure on October 15, 1963.

and believed that the records should be searched
to find out if any other requests had been ..
denied. He suggested that the Council establish
a policy regarding outside sewer connection
applications in said area. Following considera-
tion of the matter, a motion was made by Council -
man Colin, and seconded by Councilman Gans, to
table action on the subject application until
the next meeting so that the City Manager can
find out if additional applications had been
denied and the information or circumstances
