Center. Councilmember Bryant moved to suspend the rules and read the
resolution by title only. Councilmember Matthews seconded and the roll call

Mayor Elumbaugh explained that during the construction there were
deficiencies that caused cracks in the outdoor pool. He said although
Memphis Pools denies any liability, they have agreed to settle with the City.
In the settlement, Memphis Pools agrees to repair cracks to the monolithic
shotcrete shell of the pool and replaster. The total repairs will be in excess of
two hundred thousand dollars. The City has agreed to pay ½ of the cost of
the replaster which is $81,322.00 and will be paid out of the Community
Center Perpetual Maintenance Fund. Councilmember Matthews moved to
adopt the resolution. Councilmember Bryant seconded and the roll call count

B) CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT
RESPECTING WATERLINES WITHIN AREA 4 OF SYSTEM
IMPROVEMENTS 2018-2019
Councilmember Matthews introduced a resolution to approve an
agreement respecting waterlines within the Pfeiffer Public Water Authority.
Mayor Elumbaugh said Batesville Water currently does the billing and
repairs that are reimbursed to Batesville for the Pfeiffer Public Water
Authority. He said because their system is adjacent to Batesville on the
north and east sides of Batesville, we are interested on their
improvements. Their board approved the improvements for 6” water lines,
however, our Engineers recommend 12” for growth to that area. The
approval of the resolution will allow the appropriation of $280,025.00 paid
for out of the Water Utility Additions and Improvements Funds to fund the
cost to install 12” water lines instead of 6” lines. Councilmember Bryant
moved to suspend the rules and read the resolution by title only.
