He said if the City <br /> set certain hours for the park to be open, they would have the authority to arrest <br /> people who were there after hours and hopefully stop most of the vandalism. Mr. <br /> Jeffery said thousands of dollars of property at the park and adjoining businesses <br /> have been vandalized. Mr. Palmer said the boat ramp and bathrooms would not <br /> be affected in closing the park. The council discussed if they had the authority to <br /> pass any laws concerning the sandbar. City Attorney Stalker said it was his <br /> understanding that the Corp of Engineers and the County actually owned the <br /> sandbar therefore the council would not have any authority. Mayor Elumbaugh <br /> asked to form a committee to come up with a solution for the next meeting. The <br /> committee will consist of Chief Deputy Jeffery, Parks Director Randy Palmer and <br /> Councilmember Krug, McDonald and Shetron (chair person). <br /> B) CONSIDER SEWER HOOK-UP IN SPRING VALLEY <br /> Mr. Nick Baxter with the Water Utility Department and Mr. Elijah Johnson, <br /> owner of the property located at 18 Pearl Lane addressed the council requesting <br /> a sewer hood-up at Mr. Johnson's property. Mr. Johnson bought the property <br /> from Mr. Harold Crider who gave the Utility Department an easement across his <br /> property for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a sewer trunk line. In <br /> granting the easement, Mr. Crider was guaranteed the right to connect to the <br /> Batesville wastewater trunk line crossing his property without a connection fee. <br /> The agreement also states that the agreement is transferable to any heirs and <br /> assigns. Mr. Baxter said Mr. Johnson's property contained two lots and he only <br /> wanted to connect one lot now and the other lot sometime in the future. <br />
