PUM20010912• CITY OF MUSKEGO Unapproved SPECIAL PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMITTEE MEETING Minutes of Meeting Held Wednesday, September 12, 2001 Chairman Ald. David Sanders called the meeting to order at 6:05 p.m. Present were Committee Members Ald. Mark Slocomb, Ald. Rick Petfalski (arrived at 6:30 PM), Mayor De Angelis, Engineering/Building Inspection Director Sean McMullen, Public Utilities Superintendent Scott Kloskowski, Alderman Butch Le Doux, Ald. Chuck Wichgers, Richard Eberhardt (Ruekert & Mielke), and those per the attached list. It was noted by Chairman Sanders that the meeting was noticed in accordance with the Open Meeting Law. Public Utilities Superintendent Scott Kloskowski explained to those present that this was a special meeting and that residents on Janesville Road, from Moorland Road east to St. Paul's Church, were invited to determine if they would be interested in municipal water service which would be installed as part of the Janesville Road reconstruction project. Scott explained that the current front foot assessment rate (2001) is $37.08 a foot for residential property and $41.90 a foot for commercial property. He further explained that those properties abutting municipal water are required to have their existing wells • tested every five (5) years. The cost for individual water laterals is based on actual cost and he used an example of a property with a 120 foot right-of-way would run approximately between $1,000.00 to $1,500.00. Mayor David De Angelis discussed with the affected property owners present if they would be more receptive to this project if the City would defer the assessment for ten (10) years, twenty (20) years, or indefinitely with the result being that there would be no interest assigned to any outstanding assessment until such time as connection would be made to municipal water. Ald. LeDoux questioned if the residents can keep their existing wells when they connect to municipal water and Scott explained that wells do not have to be abandoned unless their safe water tests prove negative. At the end of the discussion, Mr E. J. Salentine asked for a moment of silence in honor of the recent tragedies in New York and Washington D.C. Ald. Petfalski moved to adjourn the meeting at 7.15 PM. Seconded by Ald. Slocomb, motion carried. • Respectfully submitted, ath�nderson, Transcribing Secretary Wy 567 0 J Z/ 7q G —N - -n Y dd 15114 , � I L�4277 ,Ue vfi CC fu.��vcs� � oe cx.eJ ----------- - --- -- __ 91 S 'rC-C I N L- -PUBLI C C) CA N + N pcz h(� cf
