We are asking that the Bank agree to give ownership of the present water line in Cherokee Estates to the city. For this ownership the City agrees to the following: We would accept the ownership of the line, the responsibility of the repair of the line and the responsibility to bring the line up to city specifications. We would also agree to allow the line to be used in the future for the balance of the development of Cherokee Estates. This proposal has a distinct advantage for the Bank in that when they are ready to develop Cherokee Estates they would not have the responsibility to bring this line up to city standards. If you agree to these terms, please sign the original copy of this letter and return it to me as soon as possible. Sin ce re 1 y , ~~ Gene Riddle ,~ Ci ty Manager .... .
