A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE USE OF MODEL CITIES
FUNDS TO PROVIDE LIMITED ASSISTANCE FOR CERTAIN
NATURAL GAS LINE REPLACEMENT REQUIRED AS A RESULT
OF PUBLIC STREET CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS; AND FOR
OTHER PURPOSES
WHEREAS , in certain public street construction and recon-
struction projects new natural gas lines must be installed
providing increased gas pressure to lines extending from the
mains to the meter of abutting property owners; and
WHEREAS , when such natural gas lines extending from the
meter to the main fail to meet the pressure tests, such line
must be replaced by the property owner, which in many instances
due to inflationary costs of such replacement has created an
extreme hardship to the extent of being unable to obtain natural
gas services .
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS.
SECTION 1. From and after the effective date of this
Resolution Model Cities funds may be expended for the purpose
of providing property owners financial assistance in defraying
the cost of replacement of a natural gas line between the pro-
perty owner' s meter and the main existing in the public right
of way where such replacement is found to be the result of
increased pressure provided by the replacement of the main
in the right of way. The following formula and standards shall
be utilized in determining the extent of the City 's financial
participation in such replacement costs applicable only to
residential consumers and in no instance shall the City' s costs
exceed the sum of two hundred ($200 . 00) dollars per property
