Special Meeting March 29, 2011

All members present, Clerk Treasurer absent

Meeting opened with much discussion on how to approach a fix on the landfill situation.  No one seems to have any money to help us at this time.  As of last years meeting with Keramida there were several suggestions as to how to fix the problem.  Kevin was to get quotes on the recommended suggestion of the trench and this was already submitted to IDEM and approved.  The estimation is between $40,000.00 and $60,000.00.  This would include the digging, stone & pipe. Many questions arose and Kevin wonders what would happen if we hit trash when trenching.  It was recommended that Attorney Peelle draft a letter to the adjoining property owners and IDEM on our intentions.

Dan Adams made a motion that the letter give a time frame as to what we are doing and preparing to do so they understand what our plan of attack is and then when we get to the point of selecting a contractor, we will use EDIT money to pay the bill as per our Ordinance.  Todd made a second to the motion and it carried.

Attorney Peelle will draft a letter to send to adjacent property owners and work on a draft to send to IDEM and email to Joyce and she in turn will e-mail to council members and Utility Office can type up the letter and send to whoever we need to send it to.

Dan received a letter from Marshal Bennett saying he received a call from Captain Jerry Asher and he has located a 30 foot by 8 foot office trailer and would like permission to put it at the firing range as a classroom facility.  It would remain on wheels other than trimming for leveling and stabilization.  We would invite any question and should contact IDEM for permission.  Attorney Peelle thinks IDEM will approve but we do need to get their permission and they will want to know exactly where it will be located and that it is a transit, mobile vehicle.  He will get with Asher to let us know where it will go (aerial view) and will send a request to Jerry Rust, the head cheese at IDEM.

Dan Adams made a motion to adjourn with the second by Scott Flick. Motion carried.

Note: Clerk could not hear the comments from Deyoe, Everling, Flick and some of Kevin’s due to the inadequate recorder. Minutes taken from recorder.

Also FYI: Riverboat money was used last year to pay Keramida and we made a new capital plan and Ordinance to use EDIT money this year for same.
