They
have not disclosed a ballpark figure to Patrick. There were some very rough projections given
to him last week. It depends on how
difficult it is to determine the ECU (Equivalent Unit Relative to
Parcels). This is pretty technical work
and the Rule 13 fees, which we are paying out of General Fund, are very
high. We need to evaluate our alternatives. It is his wish to accept the agreement with
Umbaugh.
William
Evans made a motion we accept the Agreement with H.J. Umbaugh & Associates
for financial advisory services relating to a Municipal Storm Water
Utility. Phillip Rogers seconded. Motion carried.

New Business
Final Plat Approval for Overbrook
Estates Subdivision
Rick Coppock explained this is the first section of what will be
built out as 90 homes on 50 acres. It
was a plan that was originally approved in late 1990. The developer had it approved and then sold
it to someone else. They put in part of
the infrastructure and for the remaining balance of the infrastructures they
have an irrevocable Letter of Credit ($65,850.00) on file with Sandra. It is for sidewalks, street trees, water and
sewer. Frank explained the Letter of
Credit in a little more detailed. There
will be 4 foot concrete sidewalks and street trees which are all consistent
with what we want to see in new subdivisions.
The area is served by sewer. He
gave a positive recommendation to sign the final plat.
William
Evans made a motion to approve the Final Plat for Overbrook Estates
Subdivision. Phillip Rogers
seconded. Motion carried.
Supervisors’ comments
Jim Davis, Ellettsville Fire Department, updated the Council
that starting tomorrow (
Jeff Farmer, Ellettsville Utilities, provided information on equipment
to help with the inflow and infiltration problems. He also needs Board approval to take crews on
day trips to see the equipment and have their travel expenses and food
reimbursed. Currently, the Town uses a
television camera that is skid mounted on the back of a tailgate. It is good for televising 4 to 8 inch lines. The Town has gotten much bigger and there are
12, 15 and even 30 inch lines. The
present camera has worked for the last 7-8 years and he thinks it is time to
move forward. What he is looking for is
a trailer mounted camera. This one is
self propelled and the omni eye looks into the laterals. It could also be used in the new developments
to check on contractors before approvals are made. The downsides are there are not a lot of
manufacturers and they are very expensive.
They would like to get as much information before coming to the Board
with a purchase request. One day trip
may be to
William
Evans made a motion to allow them to go wherever they are going to check out
the piece of equipment they want to buy.

Evans amended the motion to approve a trip to
Patrick
asked if the current equipment allowed them to look at verticals and laterals. Jeff said no, they are very limited. Their current equipment slides across the bottom
of the pipe. The problem is with I & I (Inflow and Infiltration) during wet weather, the
cameras are submerged and you can not see where the problem is. With this new one, you can put bigger tires
on it or float it down the sewer pipe.
The new one can travel a length of 1,000 feet. The current one has a 300 feet reel. It is very compatible with equipment we have
now so we can put them together to have a bigger and better piece of
equipment. Phillip asked what the
smallest diameter pipe this could be used on.
Jeff answered the current camera could be used on a 4 inch lateral but
it is not designed for that. The new
camera would be for the bigger pipes up to 30 inches. Patrick thinks with the complexity of this
system sounds like a very essential piece of equipment given the expansion of
the system and the new areas coming in to the Town. Jeff feels this will help on the battle with
the I&I.
Dennis asked if a company uses this equipment in
