Fobs Street Time: Adj o, rned: 5 :07 P.M. Attendees: J.T. Johnson Joe Wywrot Tom Sowinski ' Larry Kot Mayor Bob Johnson Jeff Spang Discussion: 1. ) Sidewalk Replac ment - 105 E. Washington` '- Our cost is : 531. This is to be d ne next spring. Will be` :;paid his fiscal year. Application say that it needs to go to ;C,'3W. Eot does not understand why 't need to go through allithe c annels. .A3 lone_ as Committee ap roves it and the money i:icatio eanddmal►be Take to COW. Discus the wording on the app change. Take t e to COW also. 2. ) Revised Water C pitol Improvement Prograr - This revia;io:n moves the north water tower up in the p1;iia and (moves c-ther projects back necessary. The enginee:�:ing for the r:.ver crossing will c ntinue until complete, then it will si•: on the shelf until neeled. Wywrot will also gedt the easement.n. This is contingent on the DCCA grant. Nannir'ga would like to show the plan. One and one half of a million :dollar's from ':he DCCA grant and one and one half of a million -dollar from I31,1aad. Take to COW. 3. ) Sewer Rate Stu - The City is in the reiir about $8800 on delinquent bills. We are making progress on collectir.:ir.. Spans: was bothered b the size of the increase:: Current billing is $12 every two months. The residents are: ;not getting anything for the basic ate. So Wywrot and Spang: came P with she idea of a flat rate of $16 every two months rued then charge: a cubic rate fee if th user goes over 900 cubic;; feet. 1 So the resideril would basicalll be getting 900 cubic fe6rt of water for the monthly service charge. Then there wouJ::j alsolbe a $7.5 cap on the cubic feet amounts. There are 11 us:�rs that woulei fall under the $75 cap and they are all busiri��ssep,� I or ding 'tc City people on the delinquent list are renters ordinance, the landlord is responsible i ('.r the- water. Some of the properties have been leaned. Then 1'ie landlords cl:t mad and pay the water bill sometimes. Rat tf.inks ghat the larger users should b put in line with all tbii i other users w ce:r a the', should be. W rot recommends a usage rat.e. to be the :acme for everyone and a cubic feet rate to be thE:i same or ever i►c:n.e. I' would be very difficult to do it any otJi :r waI•i. This iric.rease is to cover th additional improvementsia.nd ca.pital are improvements t at we have not been able ' t:o fund. 2.3 ;ii.i lion repairs that riled to be made above and be", nd the 2.3 dollars worth of repairs ifaneed are beriti�:<<1.
