both sides have agreed to. The letter of intent adopts as an exhibit the
3/2$/$6 letter and the legal description from the option agreement that
Mr. Graham has with Citi~Corp. On the second page of the Letter of Intent,
there is a blank as to the six (6) lots, these are not determined at
this time. Mr. Graham will designate in writing to the Village the lots
he desires premits given. Mr. Robert Hamilton of Hamilton Engineers
stated he met with Mr. Graham and his engineer Mr. Reiter. The drawing
of the inlet had been modified and it essentially conforms to our
recommendations. We had requested details as to the type of grate to cover
the inlet, this is forthcoming. It is to be the width of the road and
lower end of grate to be at the same elevation as the western inlet, the
high side to the south. There is a barricade along the north side now,
it will be held back 3' or ~' from property line. An additional barricade
will be installed across the end of the road south of the, inlet. ,The inlet
"
width is about 3'. The grading proposed are heavy bars, with about 1~
space between, these bars would be placed north and south and with
barricades on both sides. Bicycles couldn't easily get in there. We
still need more information on the grate. There was some discussion of
the figure on page ~ of the Letter of Intent - (b). Payment to the Village

W. Sharp reported American Cable has plans for early June to have first
clients wired and they are negotiating the placement far the tower.
J. Dement reported we have received a letter from Capaul requesting an
adjustment on their sewer charge. J. Dement stated he feels they should
pay for the water used. They had a leak and they were notified 6 to
$ weeks before they had it repaired, All the water that ran out on
the ground, they should pay for. The question is, should they have to
pay sewer charge for water that ran onto the ground, at least a
considerable amount, not into our sewer system? It is my contention,
if it didn't go into sewer system, they shouldn't be charged for sewer
usage and my opinion is to give them a break on their sewer charge.
Harry's opinion is, they were notified of the problem and they should
have repaired it earlier. After much discussion, a motion was made.
J. Dement moved to charge Capaul 15,OQ0 cubic feet of sewer return
charge one time adjustment only. Seconded by D. Gullicksen. Votes by
