PSEM19680403MINUTES OF PUBLIC SEWER COMMITTEE MEETING - APRIL 3, 1968
PRESENT - Mayor Jerome Gottfried, Alderman Budish, Alderman Wollman,
_40 Alderman Linck, Engineer John Mielke and Alderman Wieselmann.
Mr. Mielke reported that the low bid on Sewer Project #5 was found to
be deficient and upon the advice of Mr. Larry Hammond, the second bid
of W. J. Lazynski is being recommended.
Mayor Gottfried indicated that the City had received a letter from the
40 Dept. of Interior which informed him that a partial payment of $30,700.00
is now being processed for payment. He also stated that the estimated
cost of the sewer projects would be $1,085,842.25 and that before any
bids can be awarded it will be necessary that commitment for financing
must be approved by the Common Council.
In answer to a question from Mayor Gottfried as to whether or not it is
agreed that we accept the bid of W. J. Lazynski, Mr. Mielke indicated
that the City has two alternatives, first, we have the legal authority
to reject the low bidder and accept the second bid and secondly, that
we reject all bids and re -advertise. He further indicated that he felt
that it would not be advantageous to re -advertise.
Discussion took place regarding the revised computations as to deferred
assessments, etc. Mr. Mielke stated that his firm will use all assessment
•frontages and that it will be up to Mr. Brussett of the Milwaukee Company
to make recommendations. Mr. Lazynski is requesting a deferred assessment.
Mr. Mielke indicated that he hoped to make a final report yet this week.
Mayor Gottfried stated that the City will be receiving $40,000.00 from
the Federal Government and $40,000.00 from the State.
A discussion took place regarding partial payments and it was determined
that at no time can a partial payment be made -- The entire cost can be
paid at one time prior to November 1, 1968, without any interest charge
if they have notified the City by April 1, 1968, of their intent (Projects
1 - 5) or, the cost can be paid in 10 annual installments, interest
charged on the unpaid balance. If entire payment is made after November
1, 1968, there will be penalty charge of one year's interest.
The problem of Bethel Lutheran Church was discussed. Mr. Mielke indicated
that the church is going to combine their 13 lots and they will be charged
for only two laterals.
The Lazynski and Vesbach properties were discussed.
Mr. Les Pufall appeared indicating that the engineers did not put in
the lateral for his property where he had put the stake and that the
•lateral is too close to his well. Mr. Mielke stated that he will check
into the situation and report back to the Sewer Committee.
In the case of Assessment #634, Walter Rhead, Mr. Don Otto will contact
Mrs. Rhead to determine to answer the question as to whether or not she
can get three laterals for three lots.
The assessment problems of Art Baas and Delber Guhr were discussed. No
action was determined.
The meeting adjourned at 5:30 P.M.
