at the Rogowski property (S70 W17441 Muskego Drive). The Utility
Superintendent will meet with the City's plumbing inspector and
arrange to inspect the inside plumbing of the building in order
to prevent any further problems in case of a main backup.
The Committee reviewed proposed amendment to the Sewer Assessment
Policy drafted by the City Attorney. The purpose of this
amendment is to allow for the deferral of a special sewer
assessment as to agricultural land when portions of said land are
being acquired for sewer purposes and when contributions in aid
of construction are available for at least a portion of the cost
of said sewer improvement and a special deferral would be for a
period of ten years with no interest. The Committee recommends
that the City adopt a concept resolution to amend the sewer
assessment policy if and when the details of such a change can be
worked out. Upon further discussion with Mr. Harold DeBack on
the proposed Highway 24 Sewer Project and the required easement,
• Mr. DeBack wishes the following to be part of the final agreement
which is proposed to include in part:

• Before final adoption of the 1989 Sewer Utility Budget, the
Committee would like an update from the Treasurer on IBM
equipment for requested cash drawers so a cost can be determined
and added to the Utility's computer account as the Utility will
share in the cost. It is the consensus of the Committee that if
two IBM cash drawers are obtained, the Utility will share equally
in the cost. If an NCR cash register is obtained, the Utility
will share in the cost of the one NCR.
