Cook noted the trunk line would then be extended <br />southward. He noted they could not work out an easement with the <br />church and they did not want to go through the woods. <br />Gerhardson noted this is part of the watertower project, not the <br />facilities project. Cook noted that it is paid for through the <br />trunk connection charge. <br />Jabbour felt that if the easement had been obtained from the <br />church, they would then want to be subsidized and it could end up <br />costing the same. <br />It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Mayor Peterson, to approve <br />Change Order No. 1 for the trunk Highway 12 frontage road water <br />and sewer project in the amount of $16,550.50.
