<br />TRe following reports from the City Manager were read:
<br />
<br /> 73-143 - "I submit the attached ordinance and recommend it be placed on first
<br />reading, This appropriates $21,000 for improvements to Towne Point Road between Magnolia
<br />Drive and Twin Pines Road.
<br />
<br /> The developers o~ Churchland West and Peachtree subdivisions are required to make
<br />improvements such as curb and gutter to this street in connection with the development
<br />of the subdivisions. This section of the road has had considerable maintenance and
<br />needs to be reworked.
<br />
<br /> The Engineering Department feels that we will end up with a better roadway cross-
<br />section by the developers working jointly with the City than if the developers were
<br />to tie into the existing road by themselves. It is in the best interests of the City
<br />to initiate a contract for this improvement, with the developers paying the greatest
<br />portion of the cost and the City participating to the extent of $20,000 and administering
<br />and inspecting the contract."
<br />
<br /> On motion of?Mr. King and seconded by Mr. Smith, the following ordinance was approved
<br />on first reading, and by the following vote:

<br />"AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $21,000 FROM THE GENERAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT

<br />PINES ROAD."
