Old ordinance blocks leasing of city pumping plant
City officials cannot lease the old pumping plant to Street Contractor Lewis due to an existing ordinance. The plant, detached from mains, costs about $2,000 yearly to maintain and offers potential rent of $3,009 annually if repaired and roofed, possibly yielding about $5,000 for the city. City Attorney Calhoun calls the plan beneficial, noting Lewis already handles regrading work and would save taxpayers over $40,000.
