The meeting was called to order by, the mayor and upon roll call the following were found to be present: Mayor T. J. Klumpp and the following members of the city council: M. 0. Berglin, J. T. Bradford, R. H. Brown, Edward B. Overton, and Ira N. Steele; and the following members of the city council were found to be absent: Miss Marie Moore, the City Clerk, was also present at the meeting and acted as clerk thereof. The mayor presided at the meeting and announced that a quorum was present and declared the meeting was open for the transaction of business. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and approved. The mayor brought up for discussion and con- sideration the existing water works and sanitary sewer system owned by the city. As a result of such discussion it was recognized that the said system is not adequate to meet the present and future needs of the city and its inhabitants and that it is impracticable for the city to finance the improvements and extensions to the said system which are necessary to meet the needs and requirements of the city's inhabitants. The discussion also developed the fact that it is desirable that said water works and sanitary sevier system continue to be operated as a unit, since its 4. - 2 - water functions are integrated with and closely related to its sewer functions. The mayor stated that The Water Works and Sewer Board of the City of Fairhope, a public corpora- tion, had been organized primarily for the purpose of ac- quiring and operating a water works and sanitary sewer system in the city; that the said corporation contemplated making necessary improvements and extensions to said system if it should be conveyed to said corporation; and that said corporation had the power under existing law to continue operation of said.water works and sewer system as a unit. He further stated that he had. been advised by counsel that the city had authority to transfer and convey its water works system and sanitary sewer system to the said corpora- tion under the provisions of Section 402 of Title 37 of the Code of Alabama of 191+0, as amended. After such discussion the following ordinance was introduced in writing by CoundilmanA6ZA and read to the meeting: ORDINANCE NO. 20 7 AN ORDINANCE TO AUTHORIZE THE TRANSFER AND CONVEYANCE TO THE WATER WORKS AND SEINER BOARD OF THE CITY OF FAIRHOPE OF THE STATER WORKS PLANT AND DISTRIBU- TION SYSTEM AND THE SANITARY SEV.JER SYSTEM OWNED BY THE CITY OF FAIRHOPE BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Fairhope, Alabama, as follows: (1) The words "the city" as used herein mean the City of Fairhope in the State of Alabama.

The words "the system" as used herein mean the entire water works and sanitary sewer system (being a consolidated system composed of a water works plant and distribution system and a sanitary sewer system) now owned by the city, including all appurtenances thereto and all properties used in connection therewith or forming a part thereof.

The sum of 1149.,175-00 is sufficient to provide funds to retire the outstanding obligations.

Such transfer and conveyance is authorized to be made under the provisions of Section 402 of Title 37 of said code, as amended.
