The County will pay for the conduit and KU will lay the wires. Judge Brent stated there was a problem with the septic system for the Senior’s Center but it had been addressed and solved today. He stressed the need for sewers for this project. The Court discussed options for working with the City of New Castle to tap into their sewer system. After much discussion Judge Brent called for a motion.

Upon motion by Esq. Hawkins and seconded by Esq. Brown, it is ordered by the Court to move forward with offering financial assistance to the City of New Castle for the sewer project to our new park, offering to make payments on the loan for 5 years not to exceed $15,000.00 a year annually, with the County retaining $500.00 per unit from any tap on fee during that 5 years and if the State funds the total project the County will no longer be responsible to make payment.
