said a covenant is one way to guarantee performance; however, if a
future owner of the property for some reason won't go ahead with improve-
ment work, we would be required to file suit against that owner and
obtain a judgement; whereas, if we either have a cash or performance
bond, the funds are available, we know the money is there. The City
Attorney said, if the Council wanted to, the City Engineer could make
a re -estimate of the cost of doing the work; let's say it comes to
$1,800; Council could take a cash payment of $1,800 from the developer
in exchange for any other obligation, just put the money in the City
treasury and release him from any other obligation; if at a future date,
you do a 1911 Act you have the assessment for that piece of property
already paid. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Camacho, that we go along

COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS
COUNCILMAN WATERS stated he was still getting complaints on the business
license rates from the small business men. City Manager Osburn replied the
insurance, real estate, and other flat fee rates have been raised.
COUNCILMAN WATERS said he read in the Star -News both Pinson and Waters are
outspoken opponents of Federal aid and presumably if they had been able to
gain control of the Council with Morgan elected supervisor, future Federal
assistance would have been cut back sharply. Councilman Waters said the
Star gets mixed up once in a while when it said I opposed the federal funds;
I supported the Senior Citizens program; definitely I campaigned about the
sewer and now the City streets for seven long years and I supported that
$750,000 drainage deal which $400,000 were federal funds; I also supported
a park here in this area that required federal funds; I also definitely
supported the revenue sharing bill on which I went to Washington, D.C.; to
say that I am against federal funds is not true - when it benefits all the
people. Councilman Waters said I did vote against the one over here on
Plaza Blvd..: for the drainage ditch because I didn't think it benefited
enough people to put my endorsement on it...I would like to recommend that
we send the Star News a little truth serum, and that may help them.
MAYOR MORGAN stated that this is the first meeting in 1973 and it's time
this Council starts moving again, during the last 2 or 31 years we haven't
done very much on projects here in the City. I intend to do everything in
my power to move the City. We got a City to build, we have people living
in it, and we got people proud of this City and we're going to make them
more proud of it, because it's time that we do the things that will make a
better City.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Camacho, the meeting be adjourned to the regular
meeting of January 9, 1973. Carried by unanimous vote. The meeting closed
