He stated that he did not have problems until a fence was built behind his house. This fence extends through a utility easement and there is no access. Itl has turned the SW comner of his yard into a swamp. Itis an ongoing aggravation. He contacted the code enforcement officer but nothing has been done. He had a drain pipe that was buried in the ground. He pulled it up where it was and now there is a rut there and his neighbor has complained. abouti ita and called the Code Enforcement Officer on him about it. Hel has discussed this with) Roger Spencer and Don Marshall. He is asking the council to put in a drain for storm water on Schimm Circle. 3 properties drain into this area. He just needs to be the water out from under his house but it has nowhere to go. Mayor Powers said that the council would notl have an answer today. Mike Talley asked ifl he hadi received a citation from thej police officer. Mr. Brown stated no and that thej police officer was pretty amiable. Steve reported that the fence is on the lot lines and it is not a storm water easement. Mr. Brown is asking the council what to do or what can be done.

Jimmy Chaligoj said he  would look intoi it. Mayor Powers asked that Steve and. Jimmy report! back to them.  DEANWILLIS- AMA - SEWERI LINE REPAIRS  Steve reported that Dean is here to discuss our sewer line problem. He also stated that he laid a couple of letters in front of the council, one to the Corp. of Engineers and the other explaining Asbell's experience ini repairing this type of issue. Iti is estimated that it will cost $225,000 to fix our sewer line problem. Ray Greek, Ace Pipe, is also here. Dean Willis reported that it appears that our sewer line under Center Creek is broken and we do not know where thel break is yet. There is ar manhole on the South and North sides of Center Creek. There is a Iot of water getting into our plant. We have talked to Ray at ACE Pipe to see ift they can find the leak. They are not able to doi it. The plant is running 4 million gallons a day and our normal is 1to 1%1 million. One option is to dam one side at ai time midway in the stream and look at the pipe. It will not be an inexpensive approach but to build a parallel line and then switch over will be more expensive. You also have tol have the right piece of equipment to do this type of repair. Steve Lawver said he talked to. Asbell and they have done these types of repair also. There was discussion about going out for bid. The problem with that is we are not sure how to bid it since we are not sure what we are getting into it. We could bid a parallel line but that takes time and this is an emergency. There was a lot of discussion of whether this was inflow and infiltration. Mike Burns asked if MODOT equipment, that is there to repair the bridge, could help us out. Steve said he is not sure when they will be doing that part since they are just getting started. There was a lot of discussion about this problem. It was stated that the plant can handle 7 million gallons a day as a maximum. Jimmy said iti is working the plant. Steve said that WWTP Fund has the reserves to repair it. We could do a time and materials contract with Asbell. He could bring back a contract at the next meeting. We will try to do as cheap as possible. Steve said it would help if we wouldn't have to pay prevailing wage. We need to check that out. DNR is not pressing us at this time but we need to act quickly. Roger Spencer motioned to move forward with a time and materials contract with Asbell,  Richard Zaccardelli seconded. All in favor, No opposed.
