The Committee reviewed the following bid for Revaluation
received from Cole-Layer-Trumble Co., Dayton, Ohio in the
amount of $139,500 Base Bid; additional items are bid at $70
per hour for appearances at Board of Review proceedings; $7.00

The Committee reviewed correspondence from Plan Director Larry Kirch regarding release of land covenant and establishing a
theoretical sewer assessment for Tax Key #2174.853 (Peter Stefaniak) and Tax Key #2174.854 (Peter Krauss). The property
(South l/2 of Lot 16, Lot 17, Lot 18, and Lot 19) was owned by
one party in 1970 and since each of the lots were individually
non-conforming and in single ownership, it was necessary to
restrict development to that which was possible under the
zoning regulations. The property owner at that time apparently
had no intention of building more than one dwelling unit and therefore agreed to a Land Covenant restricting the property to
one residence. The South l/2 of Lot 16 and 17 now have a house
on the property and a building permit was issued by the City
for a house on lots 18 and 19 without regard for the Land
Covenant. Because of the land covenant, a reduced sewer
assessment was negotiated; and with the requested lifting of
the covenant, the Public Utilities Committee has recommended a
theoretical front foot sewer assessment of $2,697.50 (62.5 ft.
x $43.16) be paid prior to the land covenant restrict,ing the property to one residence being removed in consideration for removing the land covenant, plus payment of City Attorney's fees. Ald. Dumke moved to recommend approval subject to the above conditions. Seconded by Ald. Sanders, motion carried.
The Committee reviewed claim submitted by Curt Bahringer as a
result of the pump failure at the McShane Lift Station on

December 16, 1992. The Public Utilities Committee originally
reviewed the claim and approved reimbursement of $215.57. It was then discovered that the Committee had not been supplied a copy of Mr. Bahringer's letter that outline all costs incurred
which totaled $451.57. Ald. Dumke moved to approve payment to
Mr. Bahringer of $451.57 to be paid out of Sewer Utility
Insurance Account #110.5022.1000. Seconded by Ald. Sanders,
motion carried. The amount is less than the insurance
deductible of $500.00.
Ald. Dumke moved to approve payment of General Vouchers in the amount of $206,913.67 and Utility Vouchers in the amount of
$34,169.46. Seconded by Ald. Patterson, motion carried.
The meeting adjourned at 7:30 P.M.
