'Outside Sewer Service'—Background,
Contract Provisions, Editorial Comment
We are printing the covenants and agreements on the
part of Hal Henigson and Wilton Jackson and the City of
Nyssa in their “controversial” contract in this week’s
editorial column, together with the background and edi
torial comment.
We call it “controversial” due to the difficulty and
the length of time necessary for both parties to reach
terms upon which they could agree.
The proposed contract was first read by City Attor
ney Henigson to the council at the April 11 meeting.
Many of the features of the final contract were in the
original proposal but in others there was wide disagree
ment. One of the questions was what the applicants
would charge for permitting other users to hook onto
their line. Henigson said he felt this was no concern of
the city since the line would be their personal property.
Councilman Paul House explained to him that it was of
concern to the city since the remaining cost would be af
fected, should the city eventually take over the line.
There were other points of disagreement and the matter
was tabled for further study.
Following the meeting the Journal editor was inform
ed that there was no need of reporting on this phase of
the meeting as Henigson was sure that he and Jackson
would drop the matter and ask City Manager Art Colby
to sell their pipe to Ontario.
We printed the action of the council but assumed the
matter was dropped until we learned from the minutes
of the May 9 meeting (furnished us by Colby) that the
contract had been approved with Colby and Mayor Grant
Rinehart authorized to sign same.
Then two weeks later, May 23, at another session of
the council the minutes show that the contract was again
discussed and subsequent to the discussion a motion was
made and approved “that the sewer contract be signed
by the city recorder and mayor with the understanding
that the property of Harold Henigson and Wilton Jack-
son be annexed to the City of Nyssa as soon as possible.”
However, both parties agreed that this was not a con
dition of the contract itself but was merely an under
standing that this action would be taken.
The contract as approved and signed by both parties
is as follows:
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE COVE
NANTS AND AGREEMENTS ON THE PART OF EACH OF
THE PARTIES TO BE KEPT AND PERFORMED. IT IS MU
TUALLY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1. The City agrees to permit the Applicants to connect a
sewer line from their residences hereinbefore described to the
City sewer system at Park Avenue and 11th Street provided
that said installation shall be made at their own cost and ex
pense.
2 The Applicants agree to install at their own cost and ex
pense an 8 inch asbestos cement sewer line from the City’s
manhole at Park Avenue and 11th Street, said construction to
be in accordance with the construction requirements of the
City Engineer.
3. All construction shall be performed under the supervision
of the City Engineer. Sewer connections shall be made in the
same manner as required of City residents.
4. The Applicants agree to pay for such sewer service at
such rate as snail be 30% greater than the prevailing rate ap
plicable to residents of the City for like services.
5. It is covenanted and agreed by and between the parties
hereto that said sewer line to lx- constructed by the Applicants
shall remain the property of the Applicants until such time as
the Applicants' lands shall be annexed by and become a part
of the City of Nyssa and the Applicants shall be reimbursed
for al) expenses reasonably incurred by them in constructing
said sewer line as hereinafter provided.
6 The Applicants shall maintain said sewer line in good
repair and operation during their period of ownership, at their
own expense. In the event the Applicants shall require the
services of the City in connection with the repair or mainten
ance of said sewer line, the City shall perform all requested
services provided the rendition of such services shall not un
reasonably interfere with the public interests of the people of
the City of Nyssa and Applicants shall pay to the City its rea
sonable charges for any services so rendered.
7. In the event said lands of the Applicants shall be annexed
to the City and the City, in its sole discretion, shall desire to
acquire title to said sewer line, the City shall reimburse the
Applicants for the total cost incurred by them in the construc
tion of said sewer line plus interest at 6% per annum on said
sum from the date of construction to the date of reimbursement
by the City less any moneys received by the Applicants from
other property owners for permission to connect their service
lines to the Applicants’ sewer line and also less such sum as
shall represent a charge by the City of $2.85 per frontage foot
based on the frontage of the Applicants' said residence lots.
The Applicants shall file with the City within 30 days after
completion of construction of said sewer line a statement show
ing the total cost thereof which has been paid by them
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the
City to acquire title to said sewer line in the event of annexa
tion and the City shall have a continuing right to acquire title
to said sewer line at any time it may desire, after such annexa
tion.
8. The Applicants covenant and agree that they shall not
permit any other person, firm or corporation to make sewer
connection to their said line unless the City shall prior thereto
approve suck connection by written agreement The City cove
nants and agrees that so long as said line shall be owned by the
Applicants it shall not permit or authorize any connectwn to

checking but he did not act as advisor for the city.
(2) The council should have referred the matter to
the Planning commission for their study and recommen
dation. (The city manager informed them this was not
within their jurisdiction but this decision was not in com
plete agreement with their thoughts.)
(3) The decision was not a good one for the city, since
if continued on a large scale, would cut down the reve
nue that normally would accrue to the city from taxable
property that would be erected within the city to get
city services.
We have been opposed to the city entering into the
contract from the first we heard of the proposal and did
“agitate” against it. However this was done at the coun
cil meetings and not with the public at large for the
simple reason that the council members have minds of
their own and are not easily swayed by outside influ
ences.
Had they taken a popular view, we doubt that any
one of them would have been in favor of the contract.
And had it been an ordinary private citizen, without of
ficial authority, we believe they would have been dis
couraged and dropped the matter.
(4) That the contract is fair to both parties (as near
as we can determine) and with the $2.85 per front foot
charge the city might eventually own the line at no cost.
(5) That with the provision the city need never take
the property over, and with the applicants being respon
sible for the upkeep so long as it remains their property,
it should be taken over only when it would be profitable
for the city.
