Commissioner Bird confirmed that everything is running <br />smoothly, and he felt the County Fairground effort was one of the <br />greatest team efforts the County staff has ever done. He stated <br />that he will be presenting further ideas later for even greater <br />utilization of the Fairgrounds, and he believed this has great <br />potential for the future. <br />Chairman Lyons felt everyone involved with developing the <br />Fairgrounds was to be congratulated. <br />REPORT RE UTILITY PROJECTS <br />Utilities Director Pinto presented an overview of ongoing <br />utility projects. <br />A. The major project - the extension from Oslo out Route 60 to <br />90th Avenue. <br />Mr. Pinto doubted that most of us even realize this large <br />project is on-going. It is on schedule and, outside of the <br />storage tank, it is 99% complete; everything is in the ground <br />that was in the original contract. The line is filled with <br />water, which required several million gallons, and it is being <br />flushed. The 3/4 million gallon water tower is being constructed <br />and is in the process of being painted; its erection is projected <br />for about the middle of June. There is one problem - total <br />completion of the project would include the tower, and we have a <br />settlement date with FHA in May. They will not settle unless the <br />project is complete, but because FHA is playing such a small part <br />in this major project —only about $800,000 out of 2.4 million - <br />we may be able to move the tank out of their portion and call the <br />project complete. Staff will meet with FHA to try to resolve <br />this problem. <br />Commissioner Scurlock noted that the main intent of the <br />meeting today is to point out any area that is not absolutely <br />clear cut. The biggest liability in this situation would be <br />having to go to interim financing and there is a 30 -day cash flow <br />problem. <br />11 <br />JAN S 0 1985 <br />BOOK v PmuE <br />706 <br />
