Engineer Glenn Cook in Improvement 82-1, PRase I I, east side of 8th Street
consisting of municipal sewer, water, and streets. This project involved
an entrance from the east side of Highway #3 onto Highway #3. The Engineer

negotiating the necessary easements with the property owners to implement
Alternate #1. Further discussion followed. Motion by Orr, second by Kelly
