COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Sewer:
Cleaning & Televising Sewer Lines:
Bid estimates were presented as follows:
Infratech $8,527.00
Green Bay Pipe & TV $4,880.00
The sewer committee made a recommendation to the Village Board to hire Green Bay Pipe & TV to televise 2 miles of sewer lines for the cost of $,880.00.
Discussion included the history of previous televising and the balance of saving for this project. It was suggested to start with the pipes that were televised the longest ago.
Motion: Mansavage/Kontney
to approve the committee’s recommendation for televising the sewer
lines .All in favor, none opposed, motion carried.
Main Lift Station Pumps:
A bid estimate to purchase pumps for the Main Lift Station was presented as follows:
Energenecs in the amount of $18,000.00 per pump.
The sewer committee made a recommendation to the Village Board to purchase 1 (one) pump from Energenecs.
Discussion included the fact that only one bid was obtained. This is because Energenecs is the only company that offers a direct replacement pump. It was also noted both pumps are 30 years old. They have already been rebuilt and the casting and housing have worn thin. There are sufficient funds in the bank account to purchase a pump.
Motion: Kontney/Kielblock
to approve the committee’s recommendation to purchase 1 (one) pump
from
Energenecs. All in favor; none opposed;
motion carried.
Grand Ave Lift Station generator hook-up:
Bid estimates to wire the lift station for the generator were presented as follows:
Nellessen Contracting $450.00
The sewer committee made a recommendation to the Village Board to hire Nellessen Contracting to wire the lift station for the generator for $450.00.
Motion: Mansavage/Kaminski
to approve the recommendation to hire Nellessen for the electrical
work. All in favor; none opposed; motion carried.
Repair Manhole Chimneys:
Most of the manholes chimneys need cleaned out and
grouted.
Maintenance Bob can do the repairs, but he needs a second person on
site for
safety.
The sewer committee made a recommendation to the Village Board to allow Bob to repair the chimneys of the manholes provided there is an extra person on site.
Peplinski volunteered to serve as the extra person for safety.
Motion: Kontney/Mansavage
to approve the committee’s recommendation to allow Bob to repair
the
manholes as long as Peplinski is on site. All
in favor; none opposed; motion carried.
Storm Sewers:
Residents mentioned the storm sewers are covered with debris which is blocking the water drainage. Rick will bring this to Bob’s attention.
Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (CMAR):
An overview of the report was given. The sewer plant is operating at a grade of A-. We had a B in one category due to insufficient pumps.
Motion: Kontney/Kaminski
to approve the report including a resolution
page that reads: To maintain the
current level of operation, to upgrade equipment and keep the
efficiency of
operations. All in favor; none opposed;
motion carried.
Public Health
& Safety:
An overview of the May 19th committee meeting was given. Courtesy letters regarding nuisance materials and unlicensed vehicles were sent to several property owners. Some have responded, some have not signed for their certified letters.
Motion: Kaminski/Kielblock
to authorize the building inspector (Vierbicher) to issue official
notices
to the property owners that have not complied with or responded to
their letters.
All in favor; none opposed; motion
carried.
Complaint form: An anonymous complaint was filed regarding the grass mowing. There are concerns that the parks and village office are not mowed prior to events that draw people to town. Since the “Good times in the pines” is scheduled for this weekend, Bob should get it mowed. Bob is on vacation this week and it was suggested we hire someone else to do the mowing. Neighborhood kids are not feasible due to liability issues.
The general consensus is to have Rick call Bob and ask him to come in from his vacation this week and mow the lions park, the dam and the village office.
Streets:
An overview of the June 1st, Emergency
Committee
meeting was given. Paul Olson at

consensus is to continue
getting a group picture taken with the business owner.

to approve payment of all bills read aloud. All in
favor; none opposed; motion carried.
Motion to adjourn:
Kielblock/Peplinski. All in favor; none opposed; motion carried.
