BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
APRIL 28, 1982
The meeting of the Board of Public Works was called to order by
Mayor Reiman at 4:25 P.M. on April 28, 1982. Board Members
present were Fred Swift, Mayor Reiman and the Clerk-Treasurer.
Claims - Mayor Reiman moved to approve claims (See insert) that
were not approved in the prior meeting of April 26, 1982. Mr.
Swift seconded the motion. Passed unanimously.
Old Business
Mr. Swift moved to revise the availability for BC&R Investments
Properties on Carmel Drive (Keystone Square) from the 4 EDU's
approved on April 12 to read 6 EDU's per month for sewer and
water, the revision due to the fact that the offices are for
physicians which require the higher amount. Mayor Reiman seconded
the motion. Passed unanimously.
New Business
Mayor Reiman reported that she had interviewed H. J. Umbaugh &
Associates in regard to serving as fiscal consultants for Carmel
Sewer Projects. McCullough and Associates, formerly handling both
sewer and water, will continue with water projects. Umbaugh deals
in EPA and Regional Sewer Municipality programs throughout the
state and the mayor recommends the firm to the Board. Dave Coots
previously reviewed the contract and noted the terminable clause
which means they could terminate service~ or we could. Their
price is comparable to others, stated Mayor Reiman, but they are
paid differently than McCullough. They were a high and low figure
i.e. not more than or less than instead of an hourly rate. Mayor
Reiman asked them to review.
1. Review current sewage revenue and make recommendation on the
method of funding local share of sewer rehabilitation.
2. Rate study for rate increase associated with bond sale to
finance expansion of South Plant (assure continuation or update
of approved existing system.
3. Preparation of a bond prospectus and assistance in sale of
bonds to finance expansion of South Plant.
4. Cost of Service Study to establish rates for regional waste
water treatment services.
