OLD BUSINESS
1) Mark Sullivan spoke of the progress on the sewer. He also discussed how
the contractor will put in his claim for the supplies cost on a monthly basis,
he would then bring the claim to the Town Council for approval. Mark suggested
that a motion to give the Town Council President administrative authority to
approve these claims upon recommendation of
Commonwealth Engineering would be appropriate. If the Town Council President
has this authority then the payments can be expedited. Derold Covell made the
motion to give the President this authority, Emma Brown seconded and the
motion passed.
2) Mark Sullivan went on to say that construction will begin on SR 120 and
within the town Jerry Cobb will be the subcontractor doing the directional
drilling. The contractor will mark the grinder pump locations 21 days before
they begin work in an area. This is so everyone will be able to check their
location. These addresses will be put on the town’s website and in the
newsletter. The main collector line will be installed first then the lateral
connections to the grinder pumps will be made.
3) Bob Troll mentioned that Midwest Utilities will be mailing out coupon
books .for the interest payments, the first of which will be due April 1st.
They will be responsible for the billing procedure and receiving payments.
4) The new Town Hall committee will be meeting next Tuesday. The next Town
Council meeting will be April 8, followed by the Plan Commission meeting.
5) Bob mentioned that some swim buoys that had been left in the water last
fall had been collected and were now at the Marina. We may need an ordinance
about this.
6) At the request of Bob Hine, Bob Troll restated the Town’s policy about
the brush on the ground. The policy is that the Town is responsible for brush
on the road. All other brush is the responsibility of the land-owner.
NEW BUSINESS
1) Bob said the County was putting in a GIS system with which the Town is
to be involved. The Town’s share of the cost is $300.00. Derold made the
motion to pay this cost, Emma Brown seconded the motion and the motion passed,
a check for $300 will be written to cover this.
There being no additional new business Derold Covell moved adjournment,
Emma Brown seconded and the motion passed.7:57 PM.
Respectfully submitted
