HNTB - Status Report - Mr. Don Silvey presented the Board with a status
report on the grant application for the North-South Interceptor. (copy
attached) Mr. Silvey also presented the Board with a letter explaining
a proposed route-change in the sewer rehabilitation project explaining
the new route would use existing easements and eliminate the need to go
under Woodland Lake. After discussion, Mr. Walker made a motion to
accept the change in route for the sewer rehabilitation project as
recommended in the letter from HNTB of August 27, 1980. Motion seconded
by Mr. Swift and passed unanimously.
Clary Sewer Problem - Jack Draper acting City Engineer stated a TV
search costing the City $250 had been made and recommended that the
sewer not be replaced at this time but that it be cleaned three times a
year on a regular basis. He stated a large amount of grease had been
found in the drain. Discussion ensued and it was noted that the Clary's
had a perimeter drain which makes the flow of rain water off the house
go into the sanitary sewer. Mr. Walker made a motion that the Board
make the recommendation of Mr. Jack Draper to clean the sewer three

times a year and if continued backup occurs, the City order everyone on
that street to have their properties reviewed and anyone with Perimeter
drains feeding into the sewer asked to and remove them and if the
problem was still not solved, to then replace the sewer.
Billing Concerns - Jim Dougherty, Utilities Manager stated the
utilities office had discovered 10 homes had been coded as condominiums
when they were built and therefore had not been receiving summer sewer
relief. He asked the Board what he should do with respect to previous
billings and any credit these people should have. The coding has now
been changed and future billings will be correct. Mr. Walker made a
motion to research to determine what sum should have been allowed as
summer sewer relief and credit future bills for said sum. Motion
seconded by Mayor Reiman and passed unanimously.
Brookshire Shoppes - Dave Fryberger, developer of Brookshire Shoppes
Joe O'Malia, lessor of one of the shops and attorney Jim Nelson came
before the Board stating they had been guaranteed sewer hook ons for
the development and now, because of the sewer ban, and the building of
the hold ing tank, Hughey was unwilling to release the hook-ons. The
developer of Brookshire Shoppes was now looking to the City to come up
with the hook-ons because they had granted the City a sewer easement
across their property in return for hook-ons. Following discussion, Mr.
Walker suggested that Mr. Nelson get with Mr. Dougherty to determine
the number of hook-ons needed and discuss the matter at the September
17 meeting.
Promotion of Firemen -- The Board read letters from Chief Swails
recommending promotion of Jace Platt and Norman Lees from probationary
fireman to regular firemen. Mr. Walker made a motion to approve the
promotions as recommended by Chief Swails. Motion seconded by Mr. Swift
