14 Regular Meeting September 8, 1986 Page 14 Mayor Younger introduced for discussion a discussion by Baltimore Selvera (on agenda Silguero). Mrs. Selvera advised the Council the family had been denied sewer service since 1948 when the property was the homestead of her husband's family. They have made requests through the years and each time been denied service. Mr. Hankins stated the service is available but the City's legal obligation is to provide no more than it does for anyone else by our extension policy, wherein the City provides 100 feet and the Selveras would have to pay for the remainder of the system. Mr. Hankins advised the City could place a lien on the property and provide the extension to service the Selveras. Mr. Gonzalez stated an inexpensive solution would be a new septic tank. He stated only a 4n line would be needed to provide the Selvera's immediate needs, but if a lien is used to provide the service by the City, then he suggests the City put a 6" line in for potential development, which line and lift station could run $50,000 and that a source of funding could be System Improvements. The Council directed the Staff try to work something out with the Selveras. Mr. Nicola stated he would like to see the City provide the Selveras needs in a financial manner. The Staff was also directed to contact SWT to see if they would consider participating in the develop- ment of this line. Mayor Younger told the Selveras he would try to respond to them within two weeks. Mayor Younger introduced a discussion regarding the reconstruction of Dunbar. Jeff Kester made a presentation of the preliminary layout for the building with the Council, which included entrance to the building on the Comal side, foyer, recreation room, restrooms, a large multi- purpose meeting room, kitchen, and workroom with kiln for the Senior Citizens.
