I Mr. Stokes asked if anyone knew where the water well was going to be placed and where the money would corne from to hook up a line to it. The City Manager said that the purpose of the agreement was to get started on a feasibility study to determine where the best location for the well would be. This would include getting an agreement with a property owner, if needed, to locate the well on their propertY.and to locate funds for the hook up. Mr. Tenorio asked if Community Development funds were going to be used. The City Manager said yes. Mr. Tenorio asked if this qualified under the Community Development block program. The City Manager said that the HUD officials had received the application and had approved it. Mr. Tenorio asked if this wasn't a borderline proposal and the City Manager said no. Mr. Tenorio said he felt that this project should be appropriated from the general fund and not through CD funds. The City Manager said that a letter could be s€nt to HUD asking specifically if the project was going to be approved. Mr. Stokes asked if an evaluation had been done on the size of the line. The City Manager said it would probably be a 12" line. Kelly Kilber said the exact size of the line had been left out of the agreement until the work had progres'sed far enough to determine the exact size needed. Mr. Tenorio said that at a meeting I with HUD in the past they stressed tha.t projects must aid low to moderate income families and he felt that this project would not be approved because of that point. He also said he felt it was wrong to obtain funds from Community Development for this project. Mr. Stokes said he would like to see the City go ahead with the feasibility study at least. Mr. Brown asked if other monies were available. The City Manager said not at this point. Mr. Cavazos asked if the City would have to purchase the easement for the well. Mr. Kilber said that Mr. Handler Smith, on Hunter Road, had set aside a place on his property for the well to be located. Mr. Brown asked who the well would serve. Mr. Kilber said it would be used to serve all the City. Mr. Tenorio said that the City might look into purchasing an existing utility service instead of adding to the existing City service.
