The letter also proposed that the City of Carmel contribute any monies needed
for sewer project completion and that the City of Carmel reimburse the parties
in proportional amounts as connection fees become available in future years.
Mr. Hohl presented a letter from Wagley Construction Co. estimating the cost
of project to be $27,888.82 leaving about $11,600.00 to come up with. Mr. Hohl
stated if the sewer was there, we could save about $6,000.00 on the cost of line
we are going to run for the water plant expansion. That leaves about a $5,600.00
shortage aud they were aski~ Carmel to m~ke up that shart~ge. Mr. Hohl suggested
assessing each property ow~ner on an equitable basis for the City to be reimbursed.
Mr. Marshall Andich of Carmel Real Estate was present and recommended the Board
adopt a plan to put this line in. Mr. Kern stated the interested parties would
have to come up with all the money inasmuch as the state statue sets forth
certain procedures to build sewers. Mayor Pickett stated it should be reviewed
further.

WATER EXPANSION PROGRAM: Mr. Hohl stated Utilities Manager had brought up several
points in proposed Clyde E. Williams contract for engineering services for water
expansion program. Mr. Dougherty stated the contract outlined what CEWwas not
responsible for but did not outline just what they were responsible for.
Mr. Steve Uhrick of CEWwas present and stated the 20 or 25 page contract was all
general verbiage they use from job to job. This seems to be the part of the contract
which the Board had questions about and CEWwould be more than willing to discuss
those with them, however, the part of the contract CEWwas interested in seeing
the Beard accept now is the pa~t authorizing the study on the possible purchase of
the Indianapolis Water Co. The last 2 or 3 pages details out the part which tells
what they are proposim~ to look at and for what cost. The constrnction part is
what the Board is in disagreement with.. Fee for ~tudywould be $~B,900~00out of
which a credit of $3,500.00 will be allowed to the final design fee. Mr. Hohl
moved the Board accept the engineeriug services ~or preliminary
engineering reports only and that this approval does uot allow ~or
any additional engineering beyond and would £urther specify that i~
be clarified that the proposed cost studies include the actual cost
of obtaining the necessary ground or facilities to dispose o~ the
waste by-products ~rom the various treatment processes that are studied.
Mr. Kern seconded it with the understanding this is a eounter-o~er
and that we will receive an acceptance from CEW. Motion passed unanimously.
