A discussion was held with Thore on the proposed survey and costs it will incur. The survey will be made following federal guidelines in preparation for eventual Federal Funding to whatever extent possible. There are four parts to the survey, as follows; I. Inflow analysis of existing sewer lines using several different methods, examining existing plant and making recommendations ----- $2'],000.®0. II. Survey of proposed expansion of water and sewer to take care of areas to be annexed,-- $$,000.00. NOTE: Contract for surveys I and II should be signed before October 31, 19'74 to be able to get Federal Funding on any of the projects. III. Possible televising of problem lines - 18,000 feet $. $0 plus digging, cleaning, etc. -- $36,000.00. IV. Upgrading of the present plant to bring it back to top-notch operating condition --- X75,000.00. The total amount for these improvements is - $143,000.00 Subtract for Federal Funds on I and II --- 32,000.00 Total estimate for 19'75 -- $111,000.00 We also discussed the letter from Myer-Rohlin, Inc. (6-25-74) concerning waste water testing and the conversation leaned in favor of having a professional lab do the work. It is our recommendation that Security Federal be billed for the complete hook-up charge.

He noted that the School District records the city of Monticello in arrears $1,125.00 for library service and in arrears of $2,350.00 for sewer work done when Pinewood school was constructed. After discussion, a motion was made by G. Walters, seconded by J.

The School Dis- trict agrees to drop the back library bills and an assessment repayment bill. Motion carried - unanimously. A discussion was held regarding the laundromat sewer charge. A motion was made by G. Walters, seconded by P. White, that the quarterly sewer charge for laundro- mats be amended to read, as follows: ~G $5.00 per 1,000 cu. ft. up to 396,000 cu. ft. then,$2.50 per 1,000 cu. ft. and a 20f evaporation allowance.

Absent: Walters. Laundromat representatives J. W. Miller and I. Stelton were in attendance. A discussion was held in regard to the sewer rate charged to laundromats. Laundromat representatives suggested the following method: Pay the same sewer charge as the water charge. Utility Commission members suggested two alternatives: 1. Pay at rate of ,$5.00 per 1,000 c. f. up to 30,000 c. f.; then, pay $2.50 per 1,000 cu. ft. with a 20% allowance for evaporation. 2. Pay no sewer charge that would be in excess of 200/ of the water charge. Neither alternative was accepted. A discussion was held concerning the Vine Street pro- blem. It was the consensus of the Utility Commission to have a television check made for problem areas, and then consult with the engineer on a solution. d' ~-~~ ~~ F ,,~ The Utility Commission desired a check regarding how much water flows into the sanitary sewer system due to problems with roof drains, sewer leaks, air conditioning problems, etc. The Utilities Commission recommended that the North Central Gas Co. plan for gas line entry into the Monti- cello Mall area be approved. A short discussion was held concerning the Pinewood school hookup charge. It was the consensus of the Commission to await a response from the City Council and the School District.

Mayor Conrad Johnson was in attendance. Discussion centered on most fair method to use in determining a: Pinewood School hookup charge. A consensus of members in attendance was that the following method may be most fair: Cost of plant and lift station = $200,000 Times x .T6~ _ $32,000.00 (16~ school's valuation in comparison to village at time plant was built). $32,000.00 would be the possible sewer hookup charge. Possibly, there would be a 25~ reduction from the $32,000.00 computation. There was a consensus of opinion by members present that "benefits received" to allow a basis for the charge would include: 1. A modern sewer system. 2. 300 children are direct benefits. The administrator is to check and see if the "city ever reimbursed the school system for original placement of the sewer line. Kevin L. LaFrance, Adm. KLLF~lsg FOR:.

Recommendations: ~. 1. Leaky toilet -- pay normal highest charge of year with ~~~~ stipulation that if it isn't fixed before next billing period owner will have to pay full bill. 2. $150.00 water hook-up ---- hook-up charge stands. In this case, however, it should be investigated more fully to find out who, if anyone, ever paid the fee. Possibly reimburse owner for footage from his line but the hook-up is the village responsibility and the fee should be paid. 3. Dispute with school -- we need more time and information to come to a decision. L 4. Laundromat bills -- invite Stelton & Miller to next meeting to discuss situation.
