The Ottawa city commission denied extending a water line outside the city north of Ottawa. Mayor Williamson asked Commissioner Grogan to explain, and Grogan said the current policy bars extending utilities beyond city borders to avoid unplanned development, though county land plans could change this stance.

City retirees bonds to cut interest costs
The city commission passed a resolution to retire outstanding 10 year revenue bonds of the municipal electric department. The move will save about 50000 dollars in interest. The bonds financed the first diesel engine purchase five years ago and were issued at 4 percent. A new 570000 dollar bond issue for a new engine, plant changes, and retiring the old issue carries 3.18 percent interest, reducing annual debt service. The engines are from Enterprise Engine Co of Oakland.

Drainage complaint prompts review by city officials
Joe A. Yockey Jr of 727 N Sycamore urged city commissioners to address flooding on his property during rain. The city engineer said a storm sewer will handle normal runoff, though heavy rains could overwhelm it. Grogan and Lister will visit Yockey’s home for further talks as several drainage sites are studied. A remonstrance petition against Grant Street paving was deemed sufficient to nullify that project.
