Old Business: Discussion and status of joint Geneva town facilities planning. Mark stated he spoke to Brian Stanley who said he is collecting info, looking at soils, getting updated info, going through inspection reports and things are in process.
Update on FWWPCC facilities planning and plant expansion. Mark brought us up to date from the year 2000 up to now. In the sewer service area in question, 60% was inspected, 19% have adequate function, 43% need minor repair, and 15% are illegal. Anticipated 93,000 gallons will be used per day and at peaking factor 350,000 gallons per day. Discussion held on costs (present worth), cost-sharing, options and the cost per home, holding tanks, gravity sewers, low pressure sewers, decentralized treatment, cluster systems. DNR's answer was to let Fontana take it and let them annex it. Other option talked about recently was sewering the whole south shore. Mark stated we are back at the same spot we were at in 2000, costs are different, but solutions are the same. J. Livingston stated we need to have information in our letters that costs are $35,000 plus connection costs. Mark though the district needs to come to a consensus before we sell this to the people. May be premature on the north shore until we get more information. J. Livingston said an option would be to go back enforcing what repairs needed to be made on the systems. Discussion held on $800,000, Linn's cost to be included in the plant expansion. Rich stated hard to pinpoint the cost, you are sure to be wrong so he recommended staying away from numbers. Jim to speak to Ted about draft letters. Walworth to expect decision sometime within a month or two Mark thought.
Update on GIS intern project: Tabled.
