New Business
Easement Swimming Pool - Gary Faust appeared before the Board to
request a 4.5 foot encroachment on an easement at 11927 Eden Glen
Drive in order to construct a swimming pool at that address. A
letter from City Engineer, Tom Welch stated the lot is bounded by
easements on three sides and an encroachment into this easement
would not create a problem to the City. Following discussion, Mr.
Swift made a motion that the encroachment be approved contingent
upon receipt of letters of approval from Public Service, Indiana
Bell, Indiana Gas and Cable TV. Motion seconded by Mayor Reiman and
passed unanimously.
Elimination of Road Cut on South Rangeline Road - Mr. Noble Taylor
and Mr. Greg Cobb appeared before the Board to request elimination
of a road cut at the property located at 545 S. Rangeline Road.
They explained there are currently three cuts and they would like
to eliminate the middle cut and keep the other two. Mr. Swift made
a motion to approve the elimination of the middle road cut at 545
S. Rangeline Road. Motion seconded by Mayor Reiman and passed
unanimously.
Dale Randolph - Sewer Request - Mr. Dale Randolph appeared before
the Board to request sewer service to Lot #53 in Rolling Meadows.
There presently is no sewer line to the property but City ordinance
prohibits a septic system within the City limits. The builder would
prefer to run a sewer line down an easement on his own property to
hook into the City sewer. This would be a private line with no
other property adjacent to hook on. Following discussion, Mr. Swift
made a motion the Board approve the sewer connection upon payment
of proper fees and allow the line to be run down the private sewer
easement. Motion seconded by Mayor Reiman and passed unanimously.
Policy on Police Dogs - The Board was in receipt of a copy of a
letter from Chief Lowe to N. Chris Polak stating the City would not
be liable for any actions of his police dog since he is leaving the
department. Mr. Swift made a motion that Chief Lowe's letter be
made a part of the record and be used to establish a policy on
police dogs owned by police officers leaving the City employment.
Motion seconded by Mayor Reiman and passed unanimously.
Fourth of July Committee - Tom Shoppell, President of the Fourth of
July Parade Committee appeared before the Board to request that the
Board enter into a Hold Harmless and Indemnification Agreement with
the Committee. Mr. Mundy from Fessler -Quellhorst stated on the

telephone that he had talked to the City's underwriter and that
such an agreement would not affect the City insurance. Following
discussion with Mr. Coots, Mr. Swift made a motion to enter into
the Hold Harmless Agreement upon written confirmation that the
City's insurance would not be adversely affected. Motion seconded
by Mayor Reiman and passed unanimously.
There being no further business to come before the meeting, the
same was duly adjourned at 5:20 P.M.
