DICK FISEERPROPOSAL: Mayor Pickett stated the following: Dick Fisher
proposes to construct a sanitary sewer from his proposed Briar Lane subdivision
across Bauer property to 96th Street and east on 96th Street. Proposal includes

force main from Carmel Creek to existing 8" force main at Gray Rd and
reconnection of 8" force main to sewer plant facilities. City Engineer favors
this proposal as it will allow development of property along96th Street which
is beneficial to tax base. The proposed lift station at Carmel Creek will
ultimately be replaced with a larger pumping station as part of the regional
plan. This sewer would serve an area not provided for in the regional plan and
might also provide the sewer availability f6r Lake Wood Gardens and eliminate
a proposed lift station at Lake Wood Gardens. Mrl Fisher was present and stated
that the facility he proposes would serve an area not presently served by any
Carmel sewer and he would build a sewer at his expense and get re-imbursed from
those areas, Mr. Hohl moved the Board approve in principal the location and
routing of Mr. Fisher's proposed sewer and he be directed to proceed with detailed
designs. Mr. Eern seconded the motion. Mr. Hohl then moved to amend his motion
to the effect reserving to Carmel the absolute right to dictate sizing to our'
specifications and to have the arbitrary right for the final approval of all
features of the design. Mr. Kern seconded the motion and it passed unanimously,
amended main motion passed unanimously. Mr. Hohl then moved that the Board of
Works make it a matter of record that they would allow the full cost of all sewer
lines installed outside the limits of the property owned by and being developed
by Mr. Fisher and lift stations, pumps and force mains be classed in accordance
with our sewer ordinance as fully re-imbursable as provided by 0rdinanc~ ~S-30.
Mr. Kern seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. ~/~O~

that is in the case of an employee going on leave of absence for a definite period
of time or being laid off due to lack of work with possible re-instatement within
a stated period of time, then they dould retain these basic rights such as vacation
and sick leave; however, in the case of a person quitting or being discharged, he
would not be in favor of reinstating those rights.

b~ukrupt they owed approximately $2,500.00 to the water utility and approxi-
mately $2,500.00 to the sewer utility. At his request the Clerk-Traasurer
filed a lein against the sewer portion. The Bankruptcy Court had ordered
Carmel Eh011 b~ turned 9~er to a new purchaser without any of the liabilities
of Carmel Knoll attached. A check f~n the Treasurer of H~milton County had
been received for $2,727.00. This would be applied as follows: $1,527.00 for
delinquent bills and $1,200.00 for new water deposits under name of Centennial
