New Business
Mr. Stepanek - Mr. Stepanek, 120 Audubon Drive, appeared before
the Board to apprise them of problems concerning the lift station
on Audubon Drive. Mr. Stepanek reiterated his problems as stated
in his letter (attached). Mr. Dougherty stated the utility pole
on Mr. Stepanek's property had been moved, that the City had
offered to replace his plants and had put in stone to correct
rutting caused by vehicles pulling off of the road. Mr. Stepanek
stated that if the City felt they owed him something, they should
pay it. Mr. Walker made a motion to take the matter under
advisement and asked Mr. Dougherty to put background information
regarding the complaints in writing and bring back to the Board
stating that if there was a problem with overflow or other
matters we should work to correct them. Motion seconded by Mr.
Swift and passed unanimously.
Bond Release - Sidewalks, Brookshire Village, Section I. - Mr.
Walker made a motion to release the performance bond on sidewalks
in Brookshire Village, Sec. I pursuant to recommendation of Mr.
Welch. Motion seconded by Mr. Swift and passed unanimously.
Availability of Sewer and Water for 366 Gradle Drive - The Board
was in receipt of a letter from Mr. Welch recommending .76 EDUs
for both water and sewer needed for 366 Gradle Dr. Mr. Walker
made a motion to allow the water and sewer availability to 366
Gradle Drive in an amount of .76 EDUs each not to exceed 6840
gallons per month. Motion seconded by Mr. Swift and passed unani-
mously.
Vacation of Easement - Lot 221 Brookshire Pines - Mr. and Mrs.
James Rancourt, 12602 Lockerbie Circle, appeared before the Board
to request a vacation of a 15 foot easement along their south
property line. Mr. Kiphart stated that upon perusal of the
situation, it appears the property was platted wrong along 126th
Street for lots, 220,221 and 222 of Brookshire Pines. He felt
this would need to be rectified and perhaps a variance granted so
that the Rancourts could construct their swimming pool on the
lot. Following discussion, Mr. Walker made a motion that the
attorney research the proper legal steps and then proceed with
same to vacate the easements on Brookshire Pines lots 220,221 and
09/13/82

222 to be consistent. Motion seconded by Mr. Swift and passed

Streetlight Survey Request - Mrs. Bonnie Hannigan, 16 Cool Creek
Court, appeared before the Board to request a street light survey
of Cool Creek Court. She stated the area was wooded and that the
children had to wait for the bus in the dark at Cool Creek Court
and Main during the winter. Mr. Swift stated the City was having
a problem with the cost of street lights but would be in favor of
one at the Corner of Cool Creek Drive and Main. Mr. Walker stated
a survey could be done, but that the Board might not approve all
lights recommended. Mr. Walker, therefore, made a motion to
authorize Public Service Indiana to make a lighting survey of
Cool Creek Court. Motion seconded by Mr. Swift and passed
unanimously.
Opening of Bids for Salt, Fluoride, Chlorine and Meters - Mr.
Dougherty stated the opening was advertised for September 27 and
this item was put on the agenda in error.
Hiring in Police Department - Chief Lowe appeared before the
Board for approval to fill a vacancy in the department with a

approve the hiring of Michael Dixon as a patrolman and to hire
Jeff Jellison as dispatcher to complete the filling of vacancies
in the police department. Motion seconded by Mr. Swift and passed
unanimously.
Mr. Walker stated he would like to go on the record with a
commendation for Officer Luckie Carey, whose keen eye led to the
apprehension of driver who ran through his yard and damaged a car
on the driveway.
