Roy Porter, repreenting Forrest and Cotton <br />consulting engineers, warned the Council that the city could not direct the <br />operations of the contractors without assuming liability for those jobs. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The next item of discussion was the use of city fire trucks for pumping out ~ater <br />from water line breaks. The City Manager explained that the fire trucks had been <br />used for this purpose on an emergency basis, but that the contractors had been <br />informed that this use would no longer be allowed. He encouraged the Council to <br />authorize funds to purchase a pump for this purpose as soon as possible. <br /> <br />The Council next discussed the ac~uisition and ascertainment of right-of-way <br />on Fredericksburg Street. Mr. Breihan moved James Hall be hired to survey the <br />area and locate property lines along the street so that the City could then <br />ac~uire the necessary right-of-way. Mr. Cavazos seconded the motion, which passed <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />~~ <br />I C1COJ:o ef!cvrt4-tr~- <br /> <br />J hn Hansen <br />ouncilman <br /> <br />:nEST: ;/ J1 ~ <br />iL~~ <br /> <br />Mr. Breihan next re~uested a discussion of the drainage 'confluence project.
