            III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES:

A motion to approve the January 19, 2010 Infrastructure Committee minutes was made by Bill McFadden, seconded by Don Crawford. The motion carried by voice vote.

 

            IV. OLD BUSINESS

A.     Water, sewer system long-range plan – the committee reviewed and discussed a list of

items related to the water and sewer system and a list of questions to answer and help determine the long-range plan to be presented to Carroll County in 18 months. They discussed how to determine the value of the water and sewer system and what components they consider part of the water and sewer system. The committee also thought the plan should include information from the Public Health Department and IEPA regarding some of the alternatives.

B.     En masse recording of road easement – Mrs. Roche informed the committee that she

has again requested the Army to consider transferring the remainder of the roads that will become public. The Army only transfers to the center of the roadway if the parcels are divided by a roadway, which means the counties are only receiving half of the road until the adjoining parcel transfers, which could be over 10 years in some cases. She believes it will benefit the LRA and the counties. Mrs. Komiskey stated that it would be better for marketing purposes as well. If the Army agrees, the committee requested Mrs. Roche to get survey estimates.

C.     Monthly review of CIP high priority items

Soft stop/start controls – Received bill for equipment but have not been installed yet

Water tower drain-down inspection – nothing to report

Status of insulating sewer plant – nothing to report

 

            V. NEW BUSINESS

A. WWTP Operator monthly report & bill – Submitted for review.

A motion to approve the WWTP Operator monthly report and bill for January 15, 2010 through February 10, 2010 for $993.40 and the bill for a broken main repair of $210.00 was made by Don Crawford, Bill McFadden seconded. The motion carried by voice vote.            

            C.  Clean-up (Environmental) Site Review – Environmental site review of Parcel 3 was conducted. It was noted that the Army/IEPA have stated that no cleanup action is required but one site will require a ROD and the proposed plan for another site is land use controls and a separate ROD.

 

            VI. OTHER BUSINESS – None.

 

VII. PUBLIC COMMENTS – None.
