City Engineer Willard H. Rusk, P.E., reported on the following:

1. Received a map of the Sycamore Drive Sanitary Sewer Plan, if anyone is interested in viewing please let him know.

   Ms. Logsdon asked if the money is not spent in two years would we loose it. Mr. Rusk said that he would research and find out.

   Mr. McClellan asked when would this go out for bid.

2. The Webster's are concerned with the property not being cut by Mr. Erpenbeck as in years past; it is anticipated that it will be cut-he spoke to the mowing crew last Thursday.

3. The Churchill Drive street identification sign is installed. The graffiti under the bridge is not removed yet.

4. Mr. Tom Jones requested the City of Union to assume maintenance of the Lassing Green Subdivision; each Commissioner was presented with a punch list and a copy of the April 10, 1985 annexation agreement. Provided that all punch list items were in compliance, possible assumption could be June 1, 2000. Some additional questions of concern were streetlights, grass cutting and the white board fence, all located on Rice Pike. Mr. Rusk gave an approximate quote of $1000.00 - $1500.00 per year for grass cutting. Seventy-four lots have been sold with a total of fifty-seven on the city property tax roll out of One Hundred lots.

5. Finished the repairs on Tudor Lane.

6. Have the plans and specifications in process and hope to have advertised on Thursday for concrete & storm sewer repairs for Windsor Way.

8. The cul-de-sac at 9733 Windsor Way should be started within the next few weeks. Property owner Ron Doering agreed to pay for the section that effects his driveway. Project is scheduled for repairs this month.

9. Received bids on 1810 Whispering Trail were there is leakage between the connection and we had the TV camera look at it. The property owner called and is concerned of his driveway cracking. Mr. Rusk commented that he has not noticed any change from how it looked a year ago.

10. The encroachment permit bond will be returned to the Scheben Library Contractor. The only thing they have left to do is that they're planning to install a speed bump at the library entrance to slow down people driving and to direct the storm water from one catch basin to a different catch basin.

11. Wrote a letter to the Department of Highways regarding the feasibility of installing a traffic signal at the intersection of U.S. 42 and Whispering Trail.
