Dana Holden, 1101 West 45th Street, spoke regarding an issue with his water line. His meter is in a neighbor’s yard and through several other properties and he believes he has a leak in this line due to high water consumption. He was advised by line maintenance that the best solution was to move his water meter. Mr. Holden says he was, also, advised to file a tort claim or a law suit. The city manager requested that Mr. Holden call his office to set up an appointment to discuss the situation.
Rocky Barrett, 3311 North Oklahoma Street, addressed the commission on the legal problems of annexation of tribal trust land without a compact with the other government entities involved in areas such as tort claims and water sales. The Rural Water District #3 has an agreement with Pottawatomie County for water sales in this area and he believes this agreement would be binding. He also questioned the cross deputizing of law enforcement.
