afford tanitary sewer assessment and the remodeling of their homes to comply with the
Building Code. The Board told these citizens that it was not the intent of the Board to
have anybody ejected from their homes and that the Board would try to work something out
that would benefit these people. The Board ordered a recheck, by the Fire Chief, of
this area for installation of fire hydrants and it would also be a means for the people
in this area to get city water.
Fire Chief Donavon Johnson presented the following recommendations to the Board:
1. Ronald Walker Purcell, Lot AAA 53, Cloverleaf Trailer Park, Richmond,
Indiana, has passed all physical and mental examinations and recommend
that he be appointed a probationary fireman effective July 4, 1968.
2. I recommend that two (2) hydrants be installed at the present time in
the Parkridge Sub-Division. I recommend one (1) hydrant be placed at
the northeast corner of Garwood and South "B" Street and one (1) hydrant
be placed 500 feet extending east on South "B" Street on the north side
of the street. Also I recommend, for future development of the area, that
fire hydrants be located every 500 feet, distributed equally, throughout
the Sub-Division.
Mr. Hoskins moved these recommendations be accepted; seconded by Mr. Cecere and on
unanimous voice vote was carried.
