Chief Lowe to promote Michael Dixon to second class patrolman and

Old Business
Thistlewood Availability - The Board was in receipt of a letter
from City Engineer, Tom Welch stating that this subdivision is
within the Carmel sewer service area and recommended approval of
sewer availability. Mr. Walker made a motion to accept Mr. Welch's
recommendation and grant sewer availability in the amount of 82
EDUs or a daily flow not to exceed 24,600 gallons. Motion seconded
by Mr. Swift and passed unanimously.
South Rangeline Sewer Hook-Ups - Cochran-Rutigliano - Mr. Don
Cochran and Mr. Frank Rutigliano appeared before the Board. Mr.
Cochran explained to the Board that they had purchased the property
without knowledge that they would have to hook on to the Carmel
sewer system and that they plan to build an addition to the
building in the spring of 1984. Mr. Cochran stated that they would
be willing to pay the fees, but would like to postpone hookup
because they would have to install a line that would have to be re-
placed when the addition was built. Following discussion, Mr. Swift
made a motion to grant a 90 day extension from November 10 until
February 10 for hook-up to the City sewer. At the end of the 90
days, if there was no way a contractor could put in a line that
would not have to be removed at the time of the addition
construction, then Cochran Rutigliano would have to pay all fees by
February 10, 1984, and hook-on to the sewer before occupancy of the
addition to their building. Motion seconded by Mayor Reiman and
passed unanimously.
House of Ideas - Mary Jane Jordan appeared before the Board
explaining that the house on the corner property was unoccupied and
would probably never be used as a residence. Following discussion,
Mayor Reiman made a motion to grant a 90 day extension from
November 10, 1983 to February 10, 1984, for hook-up to the city
sewer. On February all fees due would have to be paid, the House of

corner would not have to be hooked on until occupied but fees due
on the corner property would still be due on February 10, 1984.
Motion seconded by Mr. Walker and passed unanimously.
Relocation of Pole and Hydrant at Third Street and Rangeline Road -
Mayor Reiman stated this item would be tabled as the costs are
still too prohibitive to consider at this time but the information
would be kept on file.

the Chamber of Commerce to close West Main Street between Rangeline
Road and First Ave. on Thursday evening December 1 from 7P.M. to
