PUM19971117PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO
• MINUTES OF MEETING HELD MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1997
The meeting was called to order at 7-10 PM by Chairman Sanders. Also present were
Committee members Woodard, Slocomb, Mayor DeAngelis, Utility Supt., Scott
Kloskowski, Richard Eberhardt (Ruekert & Mielke) and those per the attached list.
The Committee noted that the meeting was posted in accordance with the Open Meeting
Law.
Review Minutes of Previous Meeting: No corrections were made.
Status of Projects: Richard Eberhardt provided (attached) an updated listing of
projects with special attention to the following items:
Lannon/Martin Sewer Project: The rough estimate received from D.F- Tomasini is based
on the enclosures being fiberglass (not concrete), electrical work and drop by others and
clearing and grubbing being performed by others. Option #1 (Duplex Grinder Station)
$70,000. Option #2 (Hung plumbing) not considered and Option #3 (2 Simplex Stations
and common forced mains) $76,500. Ald. Slocomb questioned the amount of money
being spent on only two residential properties. The Mayor indicated that a past project
costing $100,000 for a gravity system could be installed and would serve another 200
feet of sewer and also eliminates the maintenance of the separate systems. The
Committee directed Richard Eberhardt to secure additional cost estimates for the
• Martin/Lannon Drive project.
Scott Kloskowski requested further direction of the needs of the Committee regarding the
Linnie Lac Sewer Allocation. The Committee requests data on the metering of flow, I&I
and the number of REC's.

but could be added at a later date. A moratorium on development could be placed on

the site until a plan for the parcel is completed. Ald. Slocomb concerned about the
• amount of property available for development if this area is not included. The number of
REC's were discussed as well as projected population numbers. The Mayor stated that

flexibility if other areas become available for development, yet it will still be able to be
added at a future date. Chairman Sanders moved to delete Southwest corner portion of

Review claims - Freedom Acres Subdivision: Aid. Slocomb presented this issue to
• this Committee after the matter became an issue relating to the Utility providing the
service to the residents affected. After researching similar situations state-wide, Aid.
Slocomb was not able to find claims paid to residents. However, after a search of the
Internet, a community in Colorado was found to have paid out claims with a cap of
$2,500 per claimant resulting from a sewer back-up. Current claim estimates put the
cost to the City of Muskego at approximately $40,000. The Mayor asked Scott if
documentation existed regarding the May 10, 1990 snowfall event to compare with the
most recent event. Aid. Woodard questioned the precedent this payment would set and
questioned the need for payment, since the City was not found negligent in the matter

subdivision based on independent review of claims submitted by affected residents.
