I~. Ken Thompson reported that the Plan Commission was not hearing any mere plats in
Fzien E~tates. To~en Engineer reported this was due to the area being effected by the
lack of adequate sewer-capacity.
~. Herb Zeinsmeister of Clyde E. Willi~ms and Co., recommended that the paralleling
needed to alleviate the situation be included in the bond issue~ and discussed two
options open. One option being ~50,000 to ~!~60,000 more e~opensive, but either optiml
would take care of all areas and projects that have been commi~ted to date. Project
being bid on the 8th of J~uuary t~kes the sewer from the treatment plant to 106th
across the intersection of the present Keystone Interceptor. The paralleling on the
additional sewer that needs te be taken care of is from this point to 116th Street.
Alternatives explained by I'~. Zeinsmeister were:
(A) merely parallel this with existing sewer aL1 the way up to where the
Brookshire Lift Station can pump into that. Does not provide sewer for
any new areas, but takes care of the areas needed to be served now.
. (B) different route up Gray Road and again discharge from Brookshire.
DS_fferance between the two being: by taking the Gray Road Route, which is mere
e~xpensive, it vrlll open up more property which can be used for reimbursement of
that se~.~r and thereby rationalizing tho additional cost.
I~M. Swift stated the Board needed to make a decision .as to which route to ge because
of the need to include this in the bond issue. Board agreed, ~pon recommendation of
Consulting Engineer and T~n Engineer, that inasmuch as there would be less of an
ease~nt problem going the Gray Road Route and the ability of the Gray Road~ Route
to service n~ areas, they should authorize Clyde E. I,~Ii~_liams and Associates to proceed
~-~lth the design of the se~r to accomodate that route. Clerk-Treasurer to ~rite a
letter to them to that effect.
Board also agreed that the Plan Co~mission shotuld be instructed to lii~ the ban on
hearing of pL~ts inasmuch as the design of the se~.~r was n~,~ in precess~ and the
Tm.m Engineer should send a letter to I~M. J~mues Litzsinger to that effect.
Three bide were received on the reconstruction of the streets in the Newark Village
subdivision. They ~ere opened by T~n Attorney and ~re as follo~,~s:
