Motion Stevens second Brown to approve the annual financial report for FY '83. Roll call vote: Cox, aye; Brown, aye; Spivey, aye; Rohret, aye; Stevens, aye. Carried unanimously. Sladek reported that he would be assuming a new position on Wednesday and would not be able to continue as city attorney. He reported that his partner, Larry Lynch, would be willing to serve until the end of the year at which time the council could decide what to do. Mayor Potter appointed Larry Lynch to serve as city attorney until the end of December, 1983 due to the resignation of John Sladek. Council consensus to place the smoking of sewer lines on the agenda for September 21, 1983. Cox reported that he talked to Bill Verry about water drainage problems on his property. Cox talked with John Grace about changing the course of the runoff, putting a ditch along the fence line of the school property. Rough estimate by Grace was $1,500.00. Grace stated that he did not think the school owned the property where the fence sits, but that it is an easement. Cox reported that engineer's estimate for smoke testing the sewer lines was $40.00 to $50.00 per hour with Ralph Brown's help and it should not take over one-half day. Cox reported that Jack Morgan had been contacted about doing some work on the following areas: field tile on College Street, corner of Grant and Third, corner of Main and second, field tile on College and Railroad Street. Cox will get estimate from Morgan. Council consensus to place repair work by Jack Morgan on agenda for September 21, 1983. Potter reported that he received complaints within the past two days concerning bats and snakes on the Volkman property on Summerhays Street and the Reeve property near the creek where the stockyards sit. Since this could constitute an immediate health hazard, the council made consensus to ask Barbara Bechtoldt to refer these matters to the Johnson County Board of Health. Potter gave Bechtoldt pictures of the properties which he had taken. Motion Spivey second Stevens to approve clerk-treasurer's reports. Carried unanimously.
