On May 4, 1990, I forwarded you a draft contract for review and comment. Several comments and recommendations were received, and the contract has been revised. On July 5, 1990, the Board of Directors of the District accepted the revised form of contract and authorized me to forward it to the City of Sanger for final approval and execution. Enclosed is a copy of the proposed contract signed by the District's legal counsel approving it as to form and legality. Also enclosed are ten original signature pages for execution by the City of Sanger. Please execute all ten pages and return all signature pages to the District (no need to return the whole contract). After determining that sufficient parties have executed the contract to assure project feasibility, the District will execute the contract. We will then assemble all signature pages and return an original signed copy to you for your files. Also, I am enclosing two copies of the recently completed (June 1990) Supplement to the November 1989 Engineering Feasibility Report. Some of the entities requested a synopsis of the contract, so I developed the enclosed 2-page summary. In addition, I am enclosing a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors on July 5. The resolution reflects the policy of the Board to implement the project when sufficient parties have executed the contract to assure project feasibility. Also, the Board requests that the governing body of the City of Sanger notify the District within 2 months of its approval or non approval of the contract. P.O.

Last yveek when the Sanger Police Department was able to purchase two computers and two printers with funds seized in illegal - drugs cases, they developed a surplus of typewriters. Bright and early Friday morning, July 6, Sanger city librarian Vickie Elieson was knocking on Chief Benny Erwin's door. She didn't have room for both' of the typewriters but was more than happy to find a home at he library for one of them. She plans to make the machine available to library patrons as well as for library stair' use. Ms. Elleson has been overseeing a number of summer programs at the library aimed primarily at young readers. Every Tuesday morning the library has summer activities for the preschoolers and on Wednesdays the activities are for the six to ten year -old kids. Activity on both days begins. at 10 a.m. Also ongoing is the Reading club for school age youngsters as well as preschoolers. Participants can sign up for reading as well as for weekly drawings for McDonald's coupons. The preschoolers are in the "read to me" portion of the Reading Club. Vickie, who is working towards her masters degree in library science, is enthusiastic about recent improvements at the library and about the pending arrival of, ;iew ��i+.�acu�l�,i�„kia��t>�►..�uuWraxtl�:,��s:f,t,J�iraryp :4r.

It is through the system that the local library can provide Inter -Library Loans, searching for and providing books located elsewhere in the system. During a recent tour of the library, she displayed some of the periodicals an reference material now set up in a quiet area for research and study purposes. She said that currently the library has only .about six subscriptions to popular magazines but would welcome donated subscriptions. A few library visitors bring their fairly new periodicals to donate to the library and, she said, more would be welcome. One of the library volunteers has recently sorted and labeled back Issues of the Sanger Courier and culled duplicate copies which are available for a new home.

Grants may now be made to institutions of higher learning or to private non-profit organizations and state and local public agencies.

The particular topics of local forums should reflect the interests of the communities. Ronald H. Walker Charles E.

But, a concern for preserving our own rights cannot be separated from a respect for the rights of others. To preserve our rights and respect those of others, we must understand what our rights are. The Commission's College -Community Forums program can help you present a spirited and informative debate of contemporary constitutional issues in a setting that brings together elected officials, academics and experts, and:the general public. It is a competitive grant program that provides funds to organize and conduct a community event. The attached letter describes the program and the grant process in greater detail. We urge you to consider this unique opportunity to increase the understanding of rights and responsibilities in your community. Sincerely, Jerr Browning J Director of Government Affairs
