16 j COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE MAYOR
17
18 f Mayor Frank H.Waltermann reported on the recent Congressional Cities Conference of the National League
19 of Cities. He said during the conference he had the opportunity to visit with an architect from HUD and work
20 on setting up a national Rural Urban Development conference to be held in Richmond. Mayor Waltermann
21 said he had corresponded with HUD Secretary, Jack Kemp, requesting the architect from HUD to come to
22 Richmond and do planning for the conference.
23
24 Mayor Waltermann said he also attended meetings on federal mandates with no source of funds allowed to
25 help met the mandates and also attended one on solid waste with most of the discussion being on recycling
26 and the problem with no available markets for selling recycled goods. Mayor Waltermann said he attended
27 j a meeting with Senator Lugar, Representative Sharp and Representative Hamilton along with the rest of the
28 ; Indiana delegation and spoke with them about the problems at the local level with the loss of funds and
29 continued federal mandates. He said that even though local officials try to stress the problems, he finds the
30 federal legislators have problems visualizing these problems, but he is hopeful that something will be
31 forthcoming to assist local governments.
32
33 Councilmember Morris asked about housing issues and if there were any encouragements about increased
34 housing vouchers. Mayor Waltermann said he felt there would be more cuts in the housing programs.
35
36 Councilmember Paust expressed his concerns over a recent job action by seventeen members of the
37 Richmond Police Department and all of them reporting absent from work due to illness on the same day.
38
39 The Mayor said he had investigated the situation and there were thirteen persons absent on that day in the
40 Richmond Police Department. He said two were civilian personnel and eleven were uniformed officers with
41 two of the eleven being off the day before due to illness and one off two days following the day in question
42 i due to illness. Mayor Waltermann said the remaining eight officers in question have never taken advantage
43 of sick days previously and he does not feel any further investigation is warranted.
44
45 Councilmember Paust asked if there was anyway for the officers to express their concerns without job action
46 and Mayor Waltermann said they were able to speak publicly like every other citizen and he certainly hoped
47 ( they had not intentionally violated their oaths of office.
48
49 Councilmember Paust stated he hoped the officers would be encouraged to express their opinions publicly
50 ! after working hours since they do have an obligation to the community and any job action on their part puts
51 l the city and public in jeopardy.
52
53 Mayor Waltermann stressed that he had checked each individual circumstance in this case.

12 Ordinance no. 16, 1989 (salary amendment for Fire Department). After discussion regarding certain

31 Ordinances acted upon, it was a courtesy by the Council to allow them before the legislative body for
32 i discussion. He said that Mayor Waltermann has reasons for placing ordinances on the agenda and felt it

7
8 President Hutton announced Amended Ordinance No. 7-1989 had been held on public hearing for additional
9 input by the public due to weather conditions at the time of the last Council meeting.
10
11 I Mr. Dan Dooley, Planning Director, informed the Council that Amended Ordinance No. 7-1898 had needed
12 two amendments and at the prior meeting of Council only one amendment had been made to correct the
13 legal description. Mr. Dooley requested the Council to also amend Section 3 of the ordinance to reflect the
14 following two requirements: (a) The Special Use site plan and narrative submitted in the Special Use
15 ' Petition shall be marked Exhibit"A" and made a part of this Ordinance and (b) The digested sewage sludge
16 applied to the land described above shall be limited to the digested sewage sludge generated by the
17 Richmond Sanitary District.
18
19 Councilmember Morris moved to amend Amended Ordinance No. 7-1989 with addition of subsections a and
20 b in Section 3,seconded by Councilmember Parker and on unanimous voice vote the motion was carried.
21
22 ;Speaking in favor of the amended ordinance was Mr. Ralph Willis, Sanitary District Manager. Mr. Willis told
23 !the Council that he had met with the neighbors to the south of the Airport and had agreed to incorporate their
24 concerns in the plans.
25
26 Councilmember Brookbank asked how many times the sludge is applied and Mr. Willis said four to eight
27 I times annually in sixty to ninety day spaces.
28
29 Councilmember Brookbank asked about the odor and Mr. Willis said that digested sludge was not as
30 obnoxious because the bacteria breaks down some of the nutrients, but there is an odor.
31
32 Councilmember Elstro asked if all acres of the airport would be covered all at once and Mr. Willis reminded
33 the Council they might never use the airport, but the attractiveness of using it for backup is the clear zone
34 that acts like pastor and is mowed.
35
36 Councilmember Paust asked about an incident trying to put sludge on land off US 27 North and not doing it
37 because of run off into the reservoir.
38
39 Mr. Willis said he was not aware of the event, and the reason they keep the application to the south of the
40 City is to avoid running the sludge through the City.
41
42 'Councilmember Paust said he also was concerned with future problems with well water and Mr. Willis gave
43 an explanation of the root zone and water absorption and mentioned the Airport property looks like clay and
44 with a six inch injection into the soil it would not go deep enough to contaminate the wells. Mr.Willis said the
45 application rate and amount of sludge to be applied is also determined by the State.
46
47 Councilmember Paust verified that the only danger with wells would be with over application and asked how
48 1 often well water should be tested to make certain that it is safe.
49
50 ;Mr.Willis spoke specifically of the Garrison School and that the system should have an established operation
51 Ito maintain and check the safety of the well. He said to make certain the water was safe for drinking in wells,
52 I he would personally check them before and after the planting seasons.
53 �{
54 j Councilmember Lundy asked if the EPA had commented on the effects of vegetable gardens and grazing
55 i animals and Mr.Willis said the EPA designed the guidelines and the State set the standard for application for
56 leach acre involved. He said they also had a public hearing with the Stream Pollution Control Board and had
57 been approved by the County Board of Zoning Appeals and have been doing the application on one property
58 for the last five years without complaint.
59
60 Councilmember Lundy asked how often tests were made and Mr. Willis explained the testing was prior to
61 application and made of the soil to determine the amount of the application.
62
63 j Councilmember Morris added that the sludge is tested before it is taken out of the Sanitary District and Mr.
64 Willis said there are component samplings made every two to three hours at the treatment plant.

1 Councilmember Morris asked if it were true that the well at Garrison School was only ten feet deep and Mr.
2 Willis said he didn't know,they might also have potable water.
3
4 Mr. Willis further explained they would have qualified people running the program and that the sludge
5 disposal was one of the reasons the Richmond Sanitary District was named Plant of the Year for Region 3.
6 He said that with the proper testing he felt very safe. Mr. Willis said the Airport was not a critical site for the
7 application of sludge, but was convenient to use during some crop rotation.
8
9 Speaking in opposition to Amended Ordinance No. 7-1989 was Mr. Therin Specht of 5721 State Rd. 227
10 South. Mr. Specht commented that Mr.Willis had made a good faith effort by offering the sludge application
11 not be applied within 300 ft. of all boundaries. He said they were still not in favor, maybe only a little better
12 off.
13
14 Mr. Willis informed the Council that he had agreed to the application only by soil injection, no surface
15 application,that it not be applied within 300 ft. of all boundaries and not be applied within 300 ft. of drainage
16 ditches.
17
18 Ms. Maureen Specht told the Council that she had spoken with the Environmental Management Department
19 regarding the permit for the sludge application and found out that it only has three years left on the five year
20 permit and can be renewed in five year terms indefinitely. She said the State said that heavy metals do not
21 run off and she was told that grazing animals are not allowed in treated areas for thirty days after application
22 along with the cutting of hay no' allowed during that time period.
23
24 Ms. Specht said when she asked the State about violations, she was informed the project would be self
25 policed. She said they also said that vegetables could not be grown in the area during application because
26 of the bacteria. Ms. Specht said the amount of application of sludge will be recorded into the deed of the
27 property to cause the area to never be used for food for human consumption.
28
29 Ms. Specht said that no one wants nasty buried in their back yard and since this process has not been used
30 that long, the damage may be down the road. She said she understood it would not replace the dangers
31 from pesticides or herbicides, but would only add additional concerns.
32
33 Ms. Specht said if the Airport property was not critical to the operation of the project, she felt it should not be
34 used. Ms. Specht said they were happy with the three conditions agreed to by Mr.Willis and felt they should
35 be formally entered into the record to avoid any future confusion.
36
37 Ms. Specht said she had also notified Garrison School and notices had gone out today to all parents.
38
39 Also speaking was Mr. Dave Tanner of 307 North Salem, Boston, Indiana. Mr. Tanner said he was leery of
40 the sludge application and concerned with the contamination of an underground aquifer. He said if it could
41 be used in remote areas until they were certain of no hazards. He added that a obnoxious smell would
42 certainly not be creating a good image for an entrance to the City.
43
44 Also speaking was Mr. Tom Cox of 4407 State Road 227 South. Mr. Cox brought to the attention of the
45 Council that there should be a better reason than just convenience for the application of sludge on the
46 Airport property with so many unknowns. Mr. Cox reminded the Council that there are baseball diamonds on
47 the Airport property that are used for league play that should be taken into consideration. He said he was
48 also concerned with run off ground water and the five year permit may not be long enough to show future
49 hazards. Mr. Cox also pointed out there was a lot of traffic in the area that should be considered and he felt
50 convenience was a very poor reason for using the Airport for the sludge application.
51
52 Ms. Mable Gossett of 1111 South M Street spoke to the Council because of a grandchild living in the area.
53 She said she was positive the Sanitary District would not deliberately put any thing out that would be
54 poisonous, but due to human error,things can happen.
55
56 Mr. Jeff Daggy, 2538 Niewoehner Road, told the Council he had received the notification from Garrison
57 School and he had come tonight to learn what was happening. He said that water is a premium in that part
58 of the County and it would be foolish to in anyway impact the water supply. He indicated he felt the City of
59 Richmond wanted to be a good neighbor and ask the Council to slow down and allow more input from the
60 community since they are not certain of future outcome. He said there would probably be more persons
61 from Garrison wanting to make comment if additional time was allowed.
62
63 Mr. Noriatsu Matsui, 681 Alice Lane, told the Council he was concerned for the welfare of the children at
64 Garrison School. He said he was not so concerned with the smell, but with the heavy metals the sludge
65 might contain especially if it wrre industrial sewage. He said if there were any other way, it would be wiser
to pursue other methods.

22 r
23 President Hutton announced the Ordinance was on public hearing and had been held for additional comment
24 by the public.
25
26 Speaking in opposition was Mr. Andrew Cecere representing Wayne Corporation. Mr. Cecere said he
27 understood the legal requirements on sewer user fees, but stated that this increase represented a 25%
28 increase to Wayne Corporation over the next three years. He said he did speak to Mr. Willis about the
29 (revenue to be raised and that it will be used for capital projects, not to defray the operating costs. He said
30 ;the amount to be raised will be in excess of the 360,000.00 figure given by the Sanitary District and
31 suggested that since there is no immediate need the increase could be spread out over a longer period of
32 {time and five years might be more amenable that three years.
33
34 IMr. Cecere said he was specifically concerned that the increase was a large amount, that it will raise in
35 iexcess of the 360,000.00 indicated by the Sanitary District and there is no particular fund where it can be set
36 (aside and dedicated for capital purposes.
