Mrs. Beal a~ed about confidentiality of State income tax reports, and Mr. Hendershott replied that that is covered by State statute, but it does not make City records con- fidential or restricted. Mr. Teague reported that attorneys he had spoken with objected to disclosure of income information and suggested basing the tax on an acceptable average. After further discussion, and explanation by Vince Farina, co-chairman of the Develop- '. ment Board of various methods explored in an effort to arrive at the most equitable method for paying for the program, it was generally agreed more information'was neces- sary. It was understood unanimous vote would not be given to second reading of the council bill in order to hold it for report from the City Attorney with regard to con- flict between City ordinance and State law on confidentiality of reports, th~ question of the number of Feeeral or State agencies which preempt City authority in this instance, and availability of income information from State Tax Commission by classification or type of business. , , Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal that the council bill be read the second time by 'council bill number only, with unanimous .consent of the Council,..~d that enactment be considered at this time. .,All councilmen present voting aye, except Mr. Williams voting no, the bill was held for second reading and report from City Attorney.. , , B.

Bid Opening - Public Works I L Sewer, McD's Plat 0- Held from September 25,1972 (see tabulation of bids Septem- ber 25, 1972 counc~l minutes). Council looked at the properties involved and discussed on tour. Manager explained that Mrs. Burgoyne, who objected to being assessed for 'the cost of this sewer construction, owns four building sites fronting on 23rd'west of Grant including a corner lot already assessed for sewer on Grant. The most westerly of the fourt sites could not be'served by this construction and would not be included in the proposed assessment. One could be served but it also could be served by sewer over easements which m~ght be acquired from the northeast. If it is decided to ex- clude that lot; it would reduce Mrs. Burgoyne's assessment t~$1200, increasing the assessment on McD's Plat by $300. Public Works Director in answer to Councilman Williams said the design of the con- struction would be identical to that bid if the two westerly lots were excluded from the assessment. In answer to Mr. Hershner's question about the situation if the two lots were excluded and Mrs. Burgoyne later decided she wanted sewer connections for . those lots, Public Works Director said that under present policy' connection can be made at any time to an available sewer line, but assessment cannot be made unless there is an outstanding lien from that project. He said there is the risk of a con- nection's being made without payment. There are two possible directions, he continued, from which service to the two lots can be provided but both would be more expensive than the construction under consideration. ~ 9/f 10/9/72 - 2 - .-.
