PLANTING IN RIGHT OF WAY – 607 PINE
Office Manager Passage stated that she had received a request to plant in the right-of-way from Michael Reno. There are three trees planted in the right of way at 607 West Pine St., they were planted approximately three years ago. The code requires that a citizen make application to plant in the right of way and the committee has to approve, Shademakers have to approve and the council then has to grant the right to plant. A discussion ensued regarding the spacing of the trees and how the growth of the trees would impact the sidewalk and visibility. After discussion the consensus of the committee was to recommend to council the approval of two of the trees and the tree closest to the corner is to be removed.
WATER RATE ANALYSIS
Office Manager Passage presented a proposal from Bernie Mrugala Consulting to provide a rate analysis of the water rates. The cost is $2,139.80. He will pull historical data and convert it to a spreadsheet defining the consequences for the various rate increments and identifying the financial impact by consumer class when various parameters are changed such as base or incremental rates. This will be a analysis to justify rates for five future years. Chairman Gould stated that our rates structure needs to be revised as it has been several years since the rates were adjusted. The consensus of the committee was to present the proposal to council for approval.
PROJECT UPDATE
Engineer Coulter stated that he will begin looking at the streets to determine which streets he will recommend for overlay, patching and sealcoating.
