The Commission is advised that a stockade fence has been erected on top of the defective drainage structure and will"have to be removed and replaced after needed improvements, Further, the Planning & Zoning Commission has been advised by the City Attorney that it is questionable whether the present owner of Installment No. 3, Green Hills Park, can be held wholly responsible for the defective drain- age installed by its predecessor, Centro Development Corporation, which is bankrupt. Mr. Weber then made a motion to add an amendment to the motion as follows: That a"copy of the Minutes of the meeting be forwarded to the Engineers, Gregory, Knowlton & Ratliff, and that the Engineers make the proposals and various alternatives to the drainage situation with the anticipated cost of such proposals and/or alternatives for presentation to the City Council, Mr. Hastings agreed to the amendment o' his original motion.
