• services necessary by using the acceptable facilities which were
available.

(6) Sub -regional was not given a great deal of consideration.
(7) Under the regional plan Muskego's sewage would be pumped by force
main east to College and Highway 100 and under the local plan it
would be pumped by force main to lands west of the City of Muskego.
Mr. Meinholz distributed a handout sheet indicating what the cost of
sewer service to Muskego would be under the two alternatives.
Following his presentation Mr. Meinholz, with the help of other members
of the Commission, answered questions relative to location of a pumping
station, computation of cost comparisons, method of disposal, turf grass
disposal, the proposed timetable, etc.
A brief recess was called by Chairman Dumke after which the committee
reconvened in the Alderman's Conference Room.
Mr. Thomas Kolster, representing Rock Contractors, appeared with
Building Inspector Lee regarding the $10,000.00 which was retained for
restoration purposes relating to the Denoon Sewer Project, Mr. Kolster
requested that the amount of money retained be reduced substantially
because restoration which is still to be done is relatively insignificant.
• The committee reviewed the complaints registered by the following
residents: Falcone, Mages and Mader. It was their decision that it
was not necessary to replace the culverts along South Denoon Road
and they recommended that $5,000.00 be released to Rock Contractors
immediately. They further indicated that if Rock Contractors will
replace the tab -strand barbed wire on the Mader fence, as well as add
gravel to their driveway and the question of who will be responsible
for the failure to install boots in manhole #9, 24, 32, 33 and 41
can be resolved they would be willing to consider a further reduction
in the amount of money which would be withheld from the total contract.
Ald. Salentine indicated he will contact Mr. Falcone regarding the
sidewalk.
Mr. Richard Knudsen appeared to discuss with the committee the progress
being made on his request to provide sewers to the former Stephen's
property by installing a lateral from Lembezeder Drive along the
Hillendale right-of-way. Mayor Gottfried indicated that he had not
received an answer to his inquiries regarding the matter.
