tioned. This suggestion was agreed to by the Board. The Workshops will continue at
the November 29, 1982 meeting at 7:00 p.m.
L. Robinson reported that only five people attended the Public Hearing held on
November 8, 1982 regarding the wastewater Treatment System of the Village's Facility
Plan. He reported that the Village's share of the expense of this project would be
25~ (approximately 1.6-1.7 million dollars) and 75~ of the expense to the Federal
Government. He presented three alternatives; give the Facility Plan Board approval
and present to the voters by a referendum; have the Engineers revise the plan and
try to scale down the expense; have the Board reject the plan (this would bring
close scrutiny by the EPA). He also reported that if the Village went with a Modular
System the cost would be brought down to 1.3-1.4 million. Due to the G.O. Bonding
requirement, a financial consultant would have to be hired at approximately 1-l~~ of
the cost of the Project with 100 of this cost to be absorbed by the Village. G.
Gordon was directed to attend a meeting with the EPA in Springfield and report his
findings to the Board at the November 22, Workshop Meeting at 7:00 p.m. The Facility
Plan was tabled until the December 6, 1982 Berard Meeting.
L. Robinson reported that he requested the Engineer to prepare the renewal for the.
Berry Contract with Distillers, LTD to be submitted to the Board at the December
Meeting. National Power Rodding was requested to continue their services, included
in the Berry Contract, for an additional year. No rate increase is anticipated by
them.
