Old Business
1. No old business was presented.
New Business
1. Parisian introduced Matt Steinberg, Ball Grease Trap Service, Inc.,
and explained that he was in attendance to address the group regarding
the written notification of default issued by the Village Office.
Steinberg apologized for his extended inability to remit payment for
charges currently due and those that have become past due. He
presented a check for $1,200.00 as a good faith deposit on the
outstanding debt and stated that he has been able to obtain financing
to pay off the remainder by July 1, 2008. Discussion followed
regarding poor economic conditions and regulations from the DEQ as
contributing factors to Steinberg’s financial setbacks. Steinberg
assured the members that the operation is back on track and members
agreed to the payment plan as presented.
2. Parisian suggested revising the Sewer Board schedule to something
less than monthly given the lack of business on a regular basis.
The members agreed that this suggestion is worth considering.
Parisian noted that copies of the superintendent’s report, the
treasurer’s report and the list of bills can be sent to members each
month and that a change in schedule would not preclude holding a
meeting whenever needed. Discussion followed regarding the
approval of bills and whether both municipalities would need to
authorize the meeting change. Blair directed the members to
review the bylaws and contract for possible conflicts to the suggestion.
Motion by Reznick, second Chappell, to adjourn. Motion carried at
7:39 p.m.
