MEMO TO THE COUNCIL
May 28, 1969
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
1. )IGESTER PLANT PROJECT
The contractor ( Orvedahl) has not been back on the job for some time. We in—
tend to make no further payments to him until the job is completed. The project
consulting engineers ( Banister ) concurs in this.
2. HENDERSON PROJECT
The sewer is in and operable. We have issued one sewer hook-jup permit only.
The water table is too high for most residents and it is expected that they
will hold off until about the middle or end of June. We have been getting
some citizen complaints in the area of one or more residents pumping their
cesspools out on the ground. We are checking into it and think we have it
zeroed in. Suitable warnings will be issued.
3. CITIZEN COMPLAINTS
We have received complaints from citizens covering such matters as non-snowing
of privately-owned vacant lots in the residential district, milk dust from
the milk plant, debris and junk in certain areas of the village, lack of
motor vehicle and drivers licensing facilities in town, over-assessment of
property, inability to connect to village municipal services. We will try
to reconcile each of these matters through existing ordinances and good public
relations practices. Those we cannot handle we will refer to the council for
action.
4, PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS AND MUNICIPAL BONDING
The bond market is stil extremely unfavorable with many issues going begging.
We should move ahead very rapidly in compiling needed projects and exploring
the possibility of consolidating our bond issues. The separate study we are
putting together for a five-year program of capital improvements is nearing
completion but should not interfer with a decision on the immediate projects
that have been suggested.
5. WAGE SURVEY
We have just completed a comprehensive wage survey which is being submitted to
the LIM. This survey includes every individual who receives any remuneration
from the village on a regular basis and will be incorporated into the wage and
salary administration plan we are compiling for the co#ncil.
6. BUILDING REMOVAL AND/OR DEMOLITION PERMIT
I am suggesting to the council that an ordinance be enacted to require a permit
to move or demolish a building in Farmington. This would enable us to insure
that all utilities have been disconnected, that outstanding village accounts
for services be settled and closed and that the debris be disposed of in a
satisfactory manner. This should include, specific sewer and water closure
requirements and rodent control procedures.
7. EMPLOYEE PAY PERIODS
It is my intention to allow for a one week lag between the close of a pay
period and the dote on which the chock is issued. Employees will be informed
of the change well ahead of time to allow for it.
