Old Business: state street issues seemed to be resolved per Bob the house that seemed to be the problem they have moved and problem has been solved.
Discussed with Bob ways we could save on gas since gas prices are on the rise, Bob stated it takes about 6 hours to mow by the sewer plant and he mows that every other week it was suggested he should mow less. Bob understood the concerns and will adjust his mowing time back there. Example a lot of rain will then require lawn to be mowed as it would grow.

Special Board Meeting
APPROVED
Call to order: by President, Rick Osowski
Pledge of Allegiance:
Roll Call: Arnie Kaminski, Betty Williams, Steve Rutta, Rick Osowski, Jessica Moore, Joy Garski and Cindy Gemza.
Also Present: None at this time.
Anticipating the
arrival of Attorney
Sewer Generator
Gemza asked: Was it Motors & Controls fault the muffler was flooded? If so, who will be responsible for the cost of repairs?
Larry Kielblock arrived.
He presented an estimate for repairs by Cleveland Brothers in the amount of $3,006.00 which include repairs already made to unit and recommended repairs per inspection.
The company Kielblock is working with has already preformed $900.00 worth of repairs in regards to the system flood caused by being exposed to the elements, probably during storage at Motors and Controls. The repairs include draining water & engine oil, replacing spark plugs, etc. Now they will start work on getting the motor operational.
Gemza restated her question about who would be responsible for the cost of repairs for the flooding damage. Is Motors & Controls at fault for the damages?
Kielblock said Motors and Controls had most of the muffler covered but a cracked pipe was exposed which caused water leakage in the entire system. There is no evidence to support previous knowledge of the cracked pipe; therefore no action was taken.
The total cost to repair the water damage is $926.00. Cost to repair the motor is $2.080.00 bringing the total cost of repair to $3,006.00.
Motion: Kaminski/Rutta to approve repairs to the generator in the amount of $3,006.00.
All in favor: None
Opposed: Motion Carried.
Kielblock left the meeting.
