HomeMy WebLinkAboutJanuary - December 1973 52 January 15,1973 The meeting was called to order by President Shirley at 7:45 P.M. in the Administrators office. PRESENT: President Shirley, Members Brinkman and Fellows; Secretary Henneberry The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. MOTION by Brinkman, Second by Fellows that officers remain the same as last year and that the regular meetings be held on the third Monday of the month. Motion carried. Quite a lengthy discussion of the entire water system was lead by Shirley. It was unanimously agreed that we need more water pressure and a larger storage tank in the very near future. It was decided that it would be best to delay improvement until the council made a final decision on the projects in water districts Nos. 1 and 2. The service break at 712 Spruce St. was discussed. Because of frost and bad weather conditions it is expected that the replacement of the service will be quite expensive. Mr. Fellows suggested that a propane frost thawer would be faster and less expensive than coal . President Shirley asked him to have more information as to cost etc. at the next meeting. The leak at the Les Jahnz residence at 713 4th St. was discussed. It had been determined previously that the leak was between the curb box and the house. Since the owner had been advised of the danger to the basement wall and since he is watching for leaks, it was decided not to force replacement of the service until later. The job will be much cheaper when the frost goes out. MOTION by Brinkman, Second by Fellows to raise Gerald Bauer's salary to $75.00 per month and leave the hourly rate for extra work at $3.50. To raise the Sec= retarys salary to $175.00 per month. Motion carried. The secretary's expense of $70.37 for 1972 was approved. MOTION by Brinkman, Second by Fellows ordering the Secretary to buy a new tapping machine. Motion carried. The water department policies wer approved as written.

If any newer hydrants were in need of repair he should list those also. The president agreed to discuss the hydrant situation with the Fire Dept. and see if they would cooperate by examining all the main valves and fire hydrants and recommend the improvements they desired.

PRESENT: Members Brinkman and Fellows, Employee Henneberry; President Shirley ABSENT: None The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. At the suggestion of the Mayor, Mr. D. S. Blaisdell met with the board for 2 hr. to discuss the future new well and pump house. The following changes were sug- gested by the Board: 1. Since the plan for the pump house had only one door and since chlorination may be needed some day, it was suggested that another door be put in while the building was being erected. 2. Since the roof is of wood and the roof joists exposed, painting and cleaning will be difficult. It was suggested that some change in the roof be made perhaps pre-stressed concrete or more insulation and cover the roof joists. Mr. Blaisdell explained the pump control plan and what changes may have to be made in the existing controls, or replace them with less sensitive controls. The need for fencing all or part of the area for security was discussed. No definite decision was made on any of the matters discussed. The secretary presented the following list of hydrants that Mr. Bauer prepared suggesting repair or replacement: * 2nd and Oak - Wierke corner 1st and Elm * 2nd and Oak - NSP corner * 3rd and Oak 3rd and Elm 5th and Main * 6th and Spruce - doesn't drain, closes hard 3rd and Walnut 3rd and Locust * 4th and Maple - Waterous - broken barrel * First ones to be considered All are Iowa Valve except 4th & Maple. All have 2" - 22" openings except the one on 1st and Spruce. Mr. Shirley reported that the Fire Dept. agreed to examine all hydrants and recommend changes or improvements. They want some or all standard steamer openings. The financial report was read and approved.

Motion by Brinkman, Second by Shirley that Mr. Bauers wishes be granted. Motion carried. The secretary presented the status report of the well and tank project by Mr. Ford, which indicated the well house would be completed by December 15, 1973, the well by November 30, 1973 and completion of interior plumbing, filling tank and charging the lines by December 25, 1973. The water tank contractor expects to complete his work by November 28, 1973.

Since this phase was not included in the report the Secretary could not reply. The permit by the Black Stallion West was discussed. It was decided that since it was for over a 1" service the permit fee should be $100.00 instead of $15.00 as indicated on Permit No. 73-35W dated Nov. 7, 1973. Motion by Brinkman, Second by Shirley.
