Mr. Reynolds presented information regarding the impossibility of home buyers securing FHA
loans because of the privately owned or community well in Medina'Morningside. FHA is now
enforcing a ruling prohibiting loans without a municipal well which is creating a major
problem because conventional money is not available. He further stated that two things
could be done to solve the problem. 1. City could purchase the well system from the present
owners and 2. City could make certain that the private well is FHA approved. There are
several things that need to be done to secure an FHA laon using the present well system:
1. FHA needs plans of the well. 2. A perpetuating trust must be set up guaranteeing main-
tainence of the system. 3. System must be inspected at site by FHA person who is in Chicago.
Mr. Haugen,representing the well company,stated that they are aware of the problem and in the
past they have complied with requests for plans of well and that the water is tested each
week. He further stated that the FHA may want them to turn over to trust and they would not

telephone calls seeking help in securing loans.
