DEED OF DEDICATION
Start Richards came before the Board in regard to the deed of dedication for Hammon's Lane
which Jesse Ballew had owned. He said Jacobi, Toombs, and Lanz approached them about a
sewer easement on seven acres of property off Holman's Lane and Hammon's Lane. Research
found that some 30 years ago when Mr. Ballew dedicated Hammon's Lane to the County,
nothing was ever recorded so the property is still listed as being owned by Mr. Ballew. City
Attorney Galligan recommended that Mr. Ballew provide a deed of dedication for the property so
it can be officially entered that it has been deeded to the City and taken off Mr. Ballew's taxes.
Manager Goldman made the motion to approve the deed of dedication contingent upon the City
Attorney's approval, seconded by Engineer Miller and carried unanimously.
On another issue, Mayor Galligan said that the culvert crossing the creek at Jesse Ballew's house
is too small. It doesn't allow enough water to pass through which will mean that when the work
is done on Pleasant Run the water is going to flow over the bridge. The Mayor said the ditch
between Ballew's and Cooper's Lane will be cleaned out and reshaped.
KENTUCKIANA YACHT SALES
Street commissioner Grant told the BOard that Kentuckiana Yacht Sales wants to renew their
permit to move oversize boats for the year 2000. Manager Goldman made the motion to approve
the oversize boat permit, seconded by Engineer Miller and carried unanimously.

to $500.00 per vehicle towed off of her lot, seconded by Manager Goldman and carded
unanimously.
