October 7, 2002

James seconded, Motion carried unanimously.
3. Citizen's Input.
Roger Hebard,1744 Timbergrove, Dallas, indicated he owned some property in Sanger
and came before the Council several months ago regarding the sewer line to the
property. It was his understanding at that time that the City would either offer the
party $12,000.00 or move forward with condemnation proceedings. They have invested
over a million dollars in this project and still are not able to do anything with the sewer.
He is asking that they authorize someone to contact an attorney and proceed with
condemnation.
City Manager indicated they received a letter form Mr. Stevens last week. The City
Engineer has drawn up the easement requirements. There are two lines that will go
through his property; however, Mr. Stevens only received one of the profiles. The City
Engineer ran off the second profile today, and it has been sent to Mr. Stevens. At this
point Mr. Stevens has not agreed to anything, but they are working on it.
Mr. Hebard indicated he would like to make this plea. If the party was here tonight
and gave a sworn oath that he would sign this document granting the easement, he
would still ask the City to begin condemnation proceedings. He asked that they at least
begin the proceedings, and them stop them if Mr. Stevens signs the document.
4. Consider and Possible Action on the Approval of the HOME Program Applicants.
Linda Ellison, with Grantworks, indicated they were working with the City to
administer the HOME grant. She was asking for approval of the applicants. These
homes were scored based on their income, disabilities, and the condition of the homes.
The contract states that they will serve five residents, they will reconstruct the first five
homes, and will try to rehabilitate the sixth one.

applicants.
