The Mayor and Board of Aldermen have considered the problem concerning the drainage across the property of your clients, Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Zanola, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Sansom, and Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Wimbish, owners of lots 17, 18, and 20 respectively, in Bramlett Gardens Subdivision, Part I. The Mayor and Board feels that the drainage ditch, proposed by me and hereafter described, will be adequate to carry the water that will be discharged from the box culvert being constructed under McLaurin Drive to Burney Branch. Therefore, the City feels that it is obligated to continue with the construction of the culvert and would like to construct the necessary ditch concurrent4 ly pending the procurement of necessary easements over the property of all threiie of your clients on which to construct this ditch. MINUTE BOOK No. 25, CITY OF OXFORD

H - 43 - 8037 DEMENT, MERIDIAN

I have advised the Mayor and Board that the box culvert under McLaurin Drive is over-designed to make sure of its adequacy to carry the water in the future. The box, as designed and with a condition causing it to flow full, has a capacity of approximately 260 cubic feet per second and a maximum velocity of approximately 16 feet per second. However, in my opinion, this this culvert would receive water from a drainage area of approximately 100 acres and calculating the run-off by the Rational Method, then the maximum flow from this area would be 120 cubic feet per second for a rainfall intensity of 4 inches per hour and a percentage of imperviousness for the area of 30%. Then, calculating by the Chezy formula for open channel run-off, the carrying capacity of the proposed ditch would be approximately 162 cubic feet per second with a maximum velocity of 4.5 feet per second. This would give approximately 30% more carrying capacity than necessary to carry the water. It is conceded that 4.5 feet per second is slightly excessive. However, this flow condition is the maximum and is expected to prevail only about once in 50 years.

The City proposes to construct a six foot flat-bottomed ditch with sides sloped 2 feet horizontally to 1 foot vertically and a minimum depth of three feet. Both sides and bottom of the ditch will be thoroughly sodded with suitable grass to prevent erosion and, if necessary, sod will be replaced from time to time.

Should in the future, the arrangement here proposed not properly handle drainage in the judgement of the City Engineer, the City will take necessary steps to remedy the situation.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ John R. Smith City Engineer

but its individual members will more particularly be deprived of his expert

advice, direction and counsel, not only in matters involving his professional

specialty but in other matters as well; and

There again came on for consideration the matter of the construction of

certain improvements on Jackson Avenue from its intersection with South 18th

Street east to the west property line of R. S. Truss.

The City Clerk reminded the Mayor and Board that they had, at their meet-

ing of September 16, 1969, as reflected by Minute Book 24 at pages 404 and 405 ,

taken the matter of objections to such improvements under advisement and con-

tinued the matter for further consideration. The Mayor and Board advised the

Clerk that they would again consider the matter and found that there had been

no abandonment of the consideration of this matter, that insufficient objection$

had been filed to prohibit the improvements, that those persons who owned a

majority of the front footage along the proposed construction were pressing

the Mayor and Board for action, and the Mayor and Board then instructed the

City Engineer to file his estimate of costs. The City Engineer advised the May#r

and Board that he had done so.

The City Clerk further reported that, pursuant to a resolution entitled

"A RESOLUTION DECLARING NECESSARY THE OPENING, GRADING, PAVING, THE LAYING OF

CURBS AND GUTTERS, WATER CONNECTIONS, SANITARY SEWERS, SURFACE DRAINS OR DRAIN-

AGE SYSTEMS AND OTHER WORK INCIDENTAL TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF STREETS KNOWN AS

JACKSON AVENUE, OLE MISS DRIVE, AND CHEROKEE DRIVE, IN THE CITY OF OXFORD,

MISSISSIPPI, AND PROPOSING TO ISSUE BONDS OF THE CITY OF OXFORD FOR THE PURPOSE

OF PAYING ALL COSTS OF SUCH IMPROVEMENTS," adopted by the Mayor and Board of

Aldermen on August 21, 1969, he did cause said resolution to be published in

the Oxford Eagle, a newspaper published and of general circulation in the City

of Oxford, said resolution having been published in said newspaper on August 2£3 and September 4 and 11, 1969, as evidenced by the publisher's affidavit, which the City Clerk did then and there exhibit to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen.

Further, the City Clerk reported that he gave notice of the aforesaid resolu-

tion by sending a copy of it, by certified mail, postage prepaid, within five

(5) days after August 28, 1969, to the last known address of all owners of pro-

perty affected by the resolution.

The City Clerk further reported that, at or prior to the time specified

in the aforesaid resolution, being 7:30 o'clock, P. M., on September 16, 1969,

protests or objections were made against making the proposed improvements on

Jackson Avenue described in the aforementioned resolution of August 21, said

protests and objections being made by T. E. Coqibs, one qualified under Section

3664 -04, Mississippi Code of 1942, to object to the proposed improvements, as

did Harold Bushing who stated that he represented Mrs. Mary Judge. However,

the Mayor and Board then and now find that, although Mrs. Judge was one quali-

fied to object under Section 3664-04, her objection could not be, was not, and

is not sustained because she did not appear in person, by attorney (Mr. Bushing tI

256 MINUTE BOOK No. 25, CITY OF OXFORD

A3-8037 DEMENT. MERIDIAN

not being an attorney), or by petition. The Mayor and Board then and now find,

however, that even if Mrs. Judge's protest could have been considered by them,

her protest and that of Mr. Combs did not constitute a majority of property

owners owning more than fifty percent (50%) of the front footage of the property

involved and actually residing on property owned by them and included in that

part of Jackson Avenue, which had been ordered to be specially improved, or

otherwise actually occupying property owned by them within said area. Therefore,

all protests and objections of any kind heretofore set out were, and are, over-

ruled. No other protests or objections of any kind or character whatsoever

were made or filed against the making of the improvements on Jackson Avenue.

Thereupon, Alderman Goolsby offered and moved the adoption of the following

resolution:

A RESOLUTION DETERMINING TO PROCEED WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS CONSISTING OF OPENING,

GRADING, PAVING, THE LAYING OR CONSTRUCTING OF CURBS AND GUTTERS, WATER CONNEC-

TIONS, SANITARY SEWERS, SURFACE DRAINS OR DRAINAGE SYSTEMS AND OTHER WORK INCI-

DENTAL TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PART OF THE STREET KNOWN AS JACKSON AVENUE IN

THE CITY OF OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI, DETERMINING THAT SUFFICIENT PROTESTS HAVE NOT

BEEN MADE AGAINST SAID IMPROVEMENTS, AND DETERMINING THE APPORTIONMENT OF THE

COST AND EXPENSE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS, DIRECTING THE CITY ENGINEER TO FURNISH

HIS ESTIMATE OF THE COST OF SUCH IMPROVEMENTS, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY ENGINEER

TO CONSTRUCT OR CAUSE SUCH IMPROVEMENTS TO BE CONSTRUCTED AS SOON AS FUNDS ARE

AVAILABLE.

WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Oxford, Mississippi,

having made due investigation, find, determine, and declare:

A. That the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, by resolution adopted at a

meeting held on August 21, 1969, declared that certain improvements on a part

of the street known as Jackson Avenue were necessary, said part of said street

being described as follows:

Jackson Avenue from its intersection with South 18th Street east to the west property line of R. S. Truss.

B. That said resolution described the nature and extend of the work, the

general character of such improvements and the material to be used, and the lo-

cation and terminal points of that part of the street on which the improvements

were to be made, and adopted plans and specifications therefor;

C. That said resolution fixed September 16, 1969, as a date upon which

the Mayor and Board would meet at the hour of 7:30 o'clock, P. M., at the City

Hall in Oxford to hear any protests or objections that might be made against

the proposed improvements set out in the resolution;

D. That said resolution directed the City Clerk to give notice of the

resolution, the contemplated improvements, the proposed issuance of bonds,

notes, or certificates of indebtedness, and of the meeting of September 16, 1969, 257 MINUTE BOOK No. 25, CITY OF OXFORD

43-8037 DEMENT. MERIDIAN

by causing the resolution itself to be published once each week for three (3)

successive weeks, being August 28 and September 4 and 11, 1969, in the Oxford

Eagle, a newspaper published and of general circulation in the City of Oxford;

WHEREAS, the said Mayor and Board of Aldermen further find, determine and

declare that said resolution was published in the Oxford Eagle, a qualified

newspaper, as aforesaid, all as shown by the proof of publication duly filed,

and that notice of the proposed improvements has been given as required by law;

and

WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen further find, determine and de-

clare:

A. That they did meet, pursuant to said resolution, at 7:30 o'clock, P.M.

on Tuesday, September 16, 1969, at the City Hall in the City of Oxford, the

time and place fixed by said resolution, and that they did then hear objections 4

and protests to the proposed improvements and then take the matter under ad-

visement and continue it for further consideration;

B. That full opportunity was given all persons aggrieved or affected by

the construction of the proposed improvements, or any of them, to appear in

person, by attorney, or by petition, to object against such improvements or any

of them;

C. That protests and objections were filed against the making of the

said improvements on Jackson Avenue as heretofore set out. However, as hereto-,

fore set out, after an investigation of the matter and the hearing of proof,

both oral and written, it was found that the eligible property owners making

protests or objections did not constitute a majority of the property owners

owning more than fifty percent (50%) of the front footage of the property in-

volved and actually residing on property owned by them and included within

that part of Jackson Avenue, which had been ordered to be specially improved,

or that such number of such persons did not otherwise actually occupy such pro-

perty owned by them within said area. Therefore, the aforementioned protests

and objections were overruled;

D. That no other protests or objections of any kind or character were

made to, or against, the making of the improvements as proposed by the aforesai4

resolution; and

WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen are now authorized by Chapter 495 1i.

Laws of Mississippi, 1950, as amended, to construct the improvements hereinafter

described and to do all things necessary and proper in connection with the con-

struction and financing thereof;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE

CITY OF OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI, AS FOLLOWS: 258 MINUTE BOOK No. 25, CITY OF OXFORD

43-8037 DEMENT, MERIDIAN

Section 1. That the Mayor and Board of Aldermen hereby determine to pro-

ceed with the necessary opening, grading, paving, the laying or constructing

of curbs and gutters, water connections, sanitary sewers, surface drains, or

drainage systems and other work incidental to the construction of that part of

Jackson Avenue heretofore described and as described in the aforementioned reso-

lution of August 21, 1969; that said improvements shall be constructed in accor-

dance with the plans and specifications therefor now and heretofore adopted by

said resolution; that the nature and extent of the work, the general character

of the material to be used shall be as set forth in said plans and specifications;

and that the grades, materials, and manner of construction with which the said

improvements are to be made are those set forth in certain plans and specifica-

tions prepared by the City Engineer, which have been adopted, and which are now

on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Oxford.

Section 2. That the cost of making said improvements required an unusual

outlay of expense for which the general improvement fund of the City of Oxford

is not sufficient and for which purpose said funds should not be used. There-

fore, the entire expense and cost of such improvements, including all of the

items of cost referred to in Chapter 495, aforementioned, shall be a charge

upon the property benefited and be paid by assessing the entire cost of such

improvements to the abutting property and property owners on each side of that

part of Jackson Avenue to be imposed, according and in proportion to the entire

front footage thereof, in the manner provided by Chapter 495 and amendments

thereto and paid by the owners of such abutting property. The area to be bene-

fited by all of the aforementioned improvements is defined as that property owned

by the persons who own property abutting that part of Jackson Avenue proposed

to be improved.

Section 3. That the cost to be assessed against each of the respective

lots abutting on the street to be so improved is less than the benefits which

will accrue to each of the respective abutting lots.

Section 4. That the proportionate share of the total cost to be assessed

against the abutting property and paid by the abutting property owners may be

paid in either of the alternative methods provided by Chapter 495 and amendments

thereto.

Section 5. The cost of the proposed improvements shall include all engi-

neering and inspection costs, a proper proportion (to be determined by the Mayor

and Board) of the compensation, salaries, and expenses of the City, chargable

to the improvements, all cost and estimated cost of the issuance of any bonds

to be issued on account of the improvements, and interest which will accrue

while the improvements are under construction and for six (6) months thereafter. 259 MINUTE BOOK No. 25, CITY OF OXFORD

Section 6. That the City Engineer shall furnish to this Board as soon as

practicable his estimate of the cost of said improvements so that bonds may be

issued.

Section 7. That the City Engineer be, and he is hereby, authorized to

construct, or cause to be constructed, the improvements heretofore described

in this resolution as soon as funds are available, said improvements to be

constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications referred to in

the resolution declaring the same necessary. That the City Engineer be and he

is hereby required to keep an account of the cost of said special improvements

and make a report to this governing authority in order that said governing

authority may levy the special assessment against the abutting property owners

on the basis above specified.

against the abutting property and paid by the abutting property owners may be

paid in either of the alternative methods provided for by said Chapter 495 and

for the payment of both the principal of and the interest on the said obligations

to be issued as aforesaid, all as provided by law, and in addition thereto, the

special assessments to be made against the said abutting property and the lien

There again came on for consideration the matter of the construction

of certain improvements on Anderson Road from its intersection with Old

Mississippi State Highway No. 6 West in a westerly direction to the City of

Oxford corporate limits and on Access Road from its intersection with Jeff

Davis Drive east to its intersection with South 18th Street Extended.

The City Clerk reminded the Mayor and Board that they had, at their

meeting of July 6, 1971, as reflected by their minutes, taken the matter

of objections to such improvements under advisement and continued the

matter for further consideration. The Mayor and Board advised the Clerk that

they would again consider the matter and found that insufficient objections

had been filed to prohibit the improvements, and the Mayor and Board then

instructed the City Engineer to file his estimate of costs. The City En-

gineer advised the Mayor and Board that he had done so.

The City Clerk further reported that, pursuant to a resolution en-

titled "A RDSOLUTION DECLARING NECESSARY THE OPENING, GRADING, PAVING, THE

LAYING OF CURBS AND GUTTERS, WATER CONNECTIONS, SANITARY SEWER, SURFACE DRAINS

OR DRAINAGE SYSTEMS AND OTHER WORK INCIDENTAL TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF STREETS

published in the Oxford Eagle, a newspaper published and of general circula-

tion in the City of Oxford, said resolution having been publiched in said

newspaper on June 21 and 28 and Jily 6, 1971, as evidenced by the publisher's

affidavit, which the City Clerk did then and there exhibit to the Mayor and

Board of Aldermen. Further, the City Clerk reported that he gave notice of the

aforesaid resolution by sending a copy of it, by certified mail, postage pre-

paid, within five (5) days after June 21., 1971, to the last known address

of all owners of property affected by the resolution. The City Clerk further reported that, at or prior to the time specified

in the aforesaid resolution, being 7:30 o'clock, P. M., on July 20, 1971,

protests of objections were made against making the proposed improvements on

Access Road described in the aforementioned resolution of June 1, said pro-

tests and objections being made by Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Smith and Mrs. R. S.

Clark, they being persons qualified under Section 3664-04, Mississippi Code

of 1942, to object to the proposed improvements. The Mayor and Board of Ald-

ermen then and now find, however, that those who protested did not constitute a majority of property owners owning more than fifty percent (50%) of the front footage of the property involved and actually residing on property owned by them and included in that part of Access Road, which had been ordered to be specially improved, or otherwise actually occupyingproperty owned by them within said area.

Therefore, all protests and objections of any kind here to fore set out on Acceis

Road were, and are, overruled. No other protests of objections of any kind or

character whatsoever were made or filed against the making of the improvements

on Access Road.

The Mayor and Board also found that protests and objections were made against

the proposed improvements on Anderson Road by those entitled to make them, being

Alex J. Kiami, Cornelius Hairston and Wife, Christine Hickenbotham, the Bishop

Harvey estate and Cora Bella Harvey, but that those who protested did not con-

stitute a majority of property owners owning more than fifty per cent (50%) of

the front footage of the property involved and actually residing on property own-

by them and included in that part of Anderson Road, which had been ordered to

be specially improved, or otherwise actually occupying property owned by them

within said area. Therefore, all protests and objections of any kind on And-

erson Road were, and are, overruled. No other protests of objections of any

kind or character whatso ever were made or filed against the making of the im-

provements on Anderson Road.

Thereupon, Alderson Pettis offered and moved the adoption of the following re-

vided by Chapter 495 and amendments thereto and paid by the owners of such

abutting property. The area to be benefited by all of the aforementioned

sessed against the abutting property and paid by the abutting property

owners may be paid in either of the alternative methods provided by Chapter

and complex equipment for precise measurement. It is the intent of this Ordi-

nance that:

1. Where determinations can be made by the administrative official

using equipment normally available to the City or obtainable without

extraordinary expense, such determinations shall be so made before

notice of violation is issued.

2. Where technical complexity or extraordinary expense makes it unrea-

sonable for the City to maintain the personnel or equipment necessary

for making difficult or unusual determinations, procedures shall be

available for causing corrections of apparent violations of 430 MINUTE BOOK No. 25, CITY OF OXFORD

43-8037 DEMENT, MERIDIAN

performance standards, for protecting individuals from arbitrary,

capricious and unreasonable administration and enforcement of per-

forcemeat of performance standards regulations, and for protecting

the general public from unnecessary costs for administration and en-

forcement.

3. If the administrative official finds, after making determinations in

the manner set forth in this Ordinance, that there is violation of

performance standards set forth in this Ordinance, he shall take or

cause to be taken lawful action to cause correction to within the

limits set by such performance standards. Failure to obey lawful or-

ders concerning such correction shall be punishable as provided in

Section 660 et. seg.

493.02 - Duties of Administrative Official. If, in the considered judge-

ment of the administrative official, there is probable violation of the per-

formance standards as set forth, concerning emission of particular matter,

vibration, noise, fire and explosive hazards where flash point of flammable

materials is not known, toxic or noxious matter, odorous matter, or radiation

hazards, the following procedures shall be followed:

1. The administrative official shall give written notice, by registered

mail or other means insuring receipt for such notice to the person

or persons responsible for the alleged violation. The notice shall

describe the particulars of the alleged violation and the reasons why

the adininistrative official believes there is a violation in fact,

and shall require an answer or correction of the alleged violation

to the satisfaction of the administrative official within a time

limit set by the administrative official. The notice shall state,

and it is hereby declared, that failure to reply or to correct the

alleged violation to the satisfaction of the administrative official

within the time limit set constitutes admission of violation of the

terms of this Ordinance.

The notice shall further state that, upon request of those to whom

it is directed, technical determinations as described in this Ordi-

nance will be made, and that if violations as alleged are found costs

of such determinations shall be changed against those responsible

for the violation, in addition to such other penalties as may be

appropriate, but that if it is determined that no violation exists,

the cost of the determination will be paid by the City.

2. If there is no reply within the time limit set, but the alleged vio-

lation is corrected to the satisfaction of the administrative official,

431 MINUTE BOOK No. 25, CITY OF OXFORD

43-13037DENMMERMIAN Il

he shall note "violation corrected" on his copy of the notice, and

shall retain it among his orridial records, taking such other action

as may be warranted.

3. If there is no reply within the time limit set, and the alleged vio-

lation is not corrected to the satisfaction of the administrative

official within the time limit set, he shall proceed to take or cause

to be taken such action as is warranted by continuation of a violation

after notice to cease.

4. If a reply is received within the time limit set indicating that the

alleged violation will be corrected to the satisfaction of the admini-

strative official, but requesting additional time, the administrative

official may grant an extension if he deems it warranted in the cir-

cumstances of the case and if the extension will not, in his opinion,

cause imminent peril to life, health or property.

5. If reply is received within the time limit set requesting technical

determination as provided in this Ordinance, and if the alleged vio-

lations continue, the administrative official may call in property

qualified experts to make the determinations. If expert findings

indicate violation of the performance standards, the costs of the

determinations shall be assessed against the properties or persons

responsible for the violation, in addition to such other penalties

as may be appropriate under the terms of Section 660 et. seg.

If no violation is found, the cost of the determinations shall be

paid by the City without assessments against the properties or per-

sons involved.
