PUM19891116PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO MINUTES OF MEETING HELD NOVEMBER 16, 1989 The meeting was called to order at 7:15 P.M. by Chairman Harold Sanders. Also present were Committee Members Dave Sanders and Simmons, Mayor Salentine, Ald. Dumke and those per the attached list. Mayor Salentine updated the Committee on the progress of the recent negotiations between MMSD and the FLOW Communities. Ald. Simmons moved to recommend approval of the 5th FLOW payment in the amount of $21,000. Seconded by Ald. Harold Sanders, motion carried. The Committee reviewed Public Hearing comments on Facilities Plan for Area Southeast of Big Muskego Lake. Chairman Harold Sanders read letter from Ken & Gail Herda, Groveway Lane, stating that they see a need for sewers; if not now, then in the future. Ald. Dumke expressed concerns about implementing the plan until the equalized valuation taxing required by SB65 is determined, a contract with MMSD is finalized, and assurance from Developer that development will occur to fund the project. The Committee was of the opinion that the money invested in the Facilities Plan would best be preserved by the adoption of the Facilities Plan. Ald. Dave Sanders recommended to the Common Council the approval of the Facilities Plan. Seconded by Ald. Simmons, motion carried. The Committee discussed Sewer Usage for multi -family units and determined that as stated in the Public Utilities Committee minutes of September 21, 1989, "all sewer usage charges for multi-family/commercial units will be a yearly charge put on the tax roll". Industrial Park properties are considered "commercial" and should be placed on the tax roll, with the exception of those requesting metering. Mother-in-law units will be determined based upon the multi -family residential equivalency. The sewer usage for a business and living quarters in the same property, without separate plumbing facilities, shall be charged 1.25 RECs. The Committee discussed sewer restoration and it was noted that some restoration of the ditches along Woods Road (Mystic to Durham Sewer Project) has yet to be completed. It is anticipated that it will be completed in Spring of 1990. The Committee reviewed the Sanitary Sewer Study for the Beatka property on Tans Drive & Hillendale Drive which was requested by the City and supplied by the City Engineers and requested that the Utility Superintendent determine other small sewer projects and add this to the list. After preparation of the small projects list, the affected property owners will be notified to • attend the December Public Utilities Committee meeting.

Correspondence from the Utility Superintendent dated November 15, 1989, was reviewed which requested approval of quote received from Energenecs for replacement of two motors and control panel at Jensen Lift Station. One motor has already burned out and the second one is in bad shape. In order to purchase motors for the C 1 • Public Utilities Committee - Page 3 November 16, 1989 existing pumps, the control panel has to be renovated. The cost for this purchase should be taken out of Account #0100-0000-0005 (Replacement Fund for Sewer Equipment). The original cost estimate for one new pump was approximately $7,000; we were able to purchase two new pumps and a new control system for $7,420. Ald. H. Sanders moved to approve expenditure for two new pumps and control system for $7,420. Seconded by Ald. Simmons, motion carried.

I recommend the adoption of the Facilities Plan since it will be needed sometime in the future whether sewers are extended immediately or not. Not adopting this Facilities Plan would be a waste of $17,000 of the Utilities' money. 4. Some restoration of the ditches along Woods Road have yet to be completed. It is anticipated that it will be completed in Spring of 1990. 5. I recommend directing the Engineers to draw up plans for a sewer project to serve the Beatka property on Hillendale and the Pattern Shop directly west on Tans Drive. I also recommend not to bid until a decision is made as to what other small sewer projects should be done and bid all projects together. New Business 1. I recommend directing me to compile a list of small sewer projects that should be completed and bid out as one contract. 4. I recommend directing the City Engineers to review and report on how far service can be extended south on Mystic Drive from Roger Drive. Public Utilities Committee - Page 2 - November 15, 1989 6. I recommend approval of quote from Energenecs for replacement of two motors and control panel at Jensen Lift Station. One motor has already burned out and the second one is in bad shape. In order to purchase motors for our exising pumps, the control panel has to be renovated. The cost for this purchase should be taken out of Account #0100-0000-0005 (Replacement Fund for Sewer Equipment). The original cost estimate for one new pump was approximately $7,000. After further investigation by Energenics, we were able to purchase two new pumps and a new control system for slightly more money - $7,420. Water Unfinished Business 2. Contractor still has some ditch restoration to complete. New Business 2. Due to wording in the Developer's Agreement which states that the Utility will take over the water mains and hydrants as soon as completed, I recommend accepting the water system in the Bay Breeze Condominium complex. The Mayor and I met with representatives from MMSD today to discuss the future of the dump station on College Court. MMSD indicated that they would like to keep the dump station permanently. We also met with a representative from BFI on whose land the MMSD trailer is now parked. After conversations with all involved, it appears that an agreement between BFI and MMSD to lease land from BFI is feasible. I am working on obtaining cost estimates for road work that may have to be completed at the expense of the waste haulers and, possibly, MMSD. SK/ca
