Councilman Arnold asked Mayor Piland how he intends to proceed with the acquisition of the utility and Mayor Piland explained that he will be depending on Mr. Cooper, Mr. Conklin and Mr. Leedy to do the work and as they accumulate the information that needs to come to Council, Council would make a decision each step of the way. Once they have ascertained what kind of bond issue or how much we can raise with this existing utility, then they are going to have to report back to this Council. Possibly we may start condemnation proceedings if that's the route we want to go if the price is too excessive. .
