Board members present were Fred Swift, Mayor Reiman and City Attorney, Dave Coots. Mayor Reiman made a motion to add to the minutes of May 24, 1982. On page 1, add the working of nine (9) lights, and on page 2, under proposed Kirby Industrial Park, after the word "sewer" add the words "and water". Also, after the word "she" add "with the stipulation that Mr. Lau provide documented estimates of capacity." Fred Swift made a motion to approve the minutes of May 24, 1982 as amended. The motion was seconded by Mayor Reiman and passed unanimously. Sprinkling Systems - Mr. Campbell and Mr. Hanzel. Dick Hanzel - 10750 Lakeshore Drive East, Carmel, came before the board and stated that he did not realize that the proposal had been considered, he felt that he had been ill advised on the action. He stated that his water consumption has dropped 1/3 by putting in the sprinkler system because of more efficient usage of water. He stated that he will continue to water in this manner if he has one or two meters. Mayor Reiman asked Jim Dougherty to find the policy of separate meter systems, and to find out what BPW meeting this authority occurred at and the policy that started its existence. Steve Campbell, 3614 Carmel Drive, Carmel, came before the board and explained how Dave Pace (city employee with the water company) explained the procedures of placing the meters to Mr. Campbell and the plumber. Meters were not installed correctly the first time so a second visit was constituted regarding the shut off valves. This has been corrected and been changed back to a single meter system, which cost him a $325.00 installation fee, which he feels is not fair. Mayor Reiman asked both Mr. Hanzel and Mr. Campbell to wait till the next meeting so that Mr. Dougherty can research the subject and to give the board time to think the matter over. Availability - Kirby Building - Mr. Lau. Mr. Lau, Chuck Kiphart, Boone Clark, Don Silvey and Jim Dougherty addressed the board concerning availability. Boone Clark gave the estimate of 8.96 EDU's which was for a 1000 sq.ft. of warehouse with rest rooms and one small office with 100 sq.ft. Don Silvey felt that the estimate was reasonable, it was based on a 20% office space and 80% warehouse space. Mayor Reiman asked Chuck Kiphart if this changes, does Mr. Lau have to return to his office to have EDU's re-evaluated. Mr. Kiphart stated no due to zoning problems. If the space needs would increase the EDU's will have to be 06/14/82 Page 2 readjusted. Upon statement from Mr. Kiphart the matter will be re-evaluated. Boone Clark stated the 8.96 EDU's equalled 80,640 gallons. This was figured on 3 buildings with a total or 35 meters, approximately 80,000 gallons a month for usage. Fred Swift moved that the water and sewer hook up the meters and that if the 8O% warehouse. 20% office ratio changes that Mr. Lau come back to have EDU's re-evaluated. Mayor Reiman seconded the motion. Passed unanimously. Streets - Lau Project, 3400 East 96th Street - Mr. Lau. The question was raised from Mr. Lau that his business will be facing a "would be street". Mr. Lau explained plans to change this. Following discussion, Mayor Reiman asked Boone Clark to follow through with the problem of the streets. Acceptance of bids for bituminous materials . Mr. Reddick and City Attorney, Dave Coots, went over the matter prior to the meeting. Mr. Reddick recommended the lowest bidder, Schummaker Brothers Industries. Mayor Reiman made the motion to approve the acceptance and Fred Swift seconded the motion. Passed unanimously. Mayor Reiman asked Phil Reddick to notify the Schummaker Brothers Industries. Acceptance of bids for water tower - HNTB. Don Silvey, of HNTB, stated that Steel Maintenance Corp. of Belleville, Illinois was the lowest bidder for work to be done on the water tower and recommended acceptance of that bid. Fred Swift made the motion to award the contract to Steel Maintenance in Belleville, Illinois. Mayor Reiman seconded the motion. Passed unanimously. NEW BUSINESS Replacement - Emerson Lift Station - Mr. Dougherty stated there was no backup for the pumping equipment at this location and that the equipment was extremely old and undependable. Mr. Dougherty explained there were two reasonable alternatives: 1) repair and replacement, which would cost approximately $30,000; or 2) laying sewer around it at a cost of approximately $40,000. Mr. Silvey stated it would be very risky to lay sewer around it and the preferred solution would be to use equipment from other lift stations put out of operation with the completion of the north- south interceptor. Mr. Silvey stated the cost for HNTB to prepare the plans and specifications and bidding procedures would be approximately $2500. Mr. Swift made a motion to have HNTB bring an estimate of costs to next meeting. Motion seconded by Mayor Reiman and passed unanimously. 06/14/82 Page 3 Water Service - R.V.Welch, 116th and Meridian.
