The Committee discussed Valley View Heights Subdivision with Mr.
Ken Purdy. Mr. Purdy requests to authorize the City Engineers to
report the feasibility of establishing a gravity sewer in this
area. Ald. Sanders moved to authorize the City Engineers to
review the feasibility of establishing a gravity sewer with the

continue to monitor the lift station.
The Committee reviewed a reimbursement claim received from Ricky
Medrow, W187 56876 Jewel Crest, in the amount of $89.00 for
cleaning clogged City sewer main. Ald. Sanders moved to
recommend that the Utility Clerk contact Mr. Medrow to receive a
copy of the bill and that the Utility pay the service call
portion only. Seconded by Ald. Hilt, motion carried. This
follows the procedure that was established on the last clogged
sewer main claim which is to pay the service call only. This
places the burden on the repair service to check if the City's
main is the problem before costs are incurred working on a
private lateral.

• Utility Superintendent Kloskowski updated the Committee on the
Guernsey Meadow Water Service. To date approximately one-half of

of the sewer plans for Durhamswood Addn. #2. There will be
thirty-one (31) lots in the final stage of the subdivision. Ald.
Sanders moved to approve sewer plans. Seconded by Ald. Hilt,
motion carried.
The Committee reviewed legislation on Fire Protection Costs as
outlined in League of Municipalities Bulletin Number 87-58 dated
June 7, 1988. Ald. Hilt moved to recommend approval of proposed
resolution. Seconded by Ald. Sanders, motion carried. The
League is stating that if the City does not pass a resolution by
August 1, the Water Utility may not bill either the Municipality
or the water customers for water -related fire protection service
costs without PSC approval. By adopting the proposed resolution,
the City will be "buying time" so that the Utility may make an
informed decision as to whether it wants to (a) have the
• Municipality continue to pay these charges, or (b) develop a
system for charging water customers directly.
The Committee discussed Water Usage charges to Woodcrest
Subdivision for flushing water system in the Subdivision with Mr.
Robert Klenz. Utility Superintendent Kloskowski advised Mr.
Klenz that this was a required PSC charge.
The Utility Superintendent's report was read and placed on file.

Respectfully submitted,
Ald. Daniel Hilt
