Superintendent’s Report
Spitler reported on the following: A preconstruction meeting for the UV
channel was held on July 18th and preliminary plans indicate
installation by the end of August. He explained that the annual
ditch transfer, accomplished in May this year, skews lab results for a
period and this has prompted a change in operations to discontinue the
ditch switch and maintain the two empty units on a weekly basis which
will include rotating the rotors.
Old Business
1. Parisian reported that Village representatives should have a
draft of the REU transfer policy for the Board to review at the August
16, 2007 meeting to be held at the WWTP.
New Business
1. Parisian introduced John Haglund, Comptroller for Clark
Companies, as the representative of a request to reduce the number of
billed RE’s at the Coyote Creek Grille located at 6951 Lansing
Road. Haglund explained that the business has been closed and
listed for sale since March 5, 2007 and requested permission to reduce
the billing amount to 1 RE per month from the current 35.36 RE’s while
there is no activity. Parisian noted that the basis for
calculating a billable amount for restaurants is the number of chairs
per facility and that Mr. Haglund could simply remove all seating in
order to comply, however that measure seems unreasonable.
Parisian noted that the business is clearly marked for sale with no
evidence of activity and also stated that she would keep in contact
with Haglund for any change in operations. Discussion followed
regarding consistent treatment for similar requests and establishing a
policy. Motion by Reznick, second Blair, to approve the request
from the Clark Companies to reduce the billing amount to 1 RE per
month, effective with the June billing, until activity is
renewed. Motion carried.
2. Chappell presented a recommendation from the Village Council
to appoint Roger Rich to the Sewer Board for a two-year term to expire
in July 2009. Blair stated that the Township Board reappointed
Blair and Slucter and Chappell confirmed that the Village Council also
reappointed Chappell and Reznick for two-year terms. Motion by
Marsh, second Reznick, to accept the appointment of Roger Rich to the
Sewer Board until July 2009. Motion carried unanimously.
3. Reznick thanked Marsh for his service on the Board.
Motion by Reznick, second Blair, to adjourn. Motion carried at
7:26 p.m.
