James Gevenger, town attorney, and Kathryn Chrapliwy, clerk-treasurer, were also present. The minutes to the previous meeting were approved as written. John Julian, representative from Umbaugh & Associates, was present to discuss the decrease in the electric rates to the Walkerton customers. Upon receiving a rate increase over a year ago, the Public Service Commission ordered Walkerton to do a cost of service study for a 12 month period of time. That study proved that Walkerton did not need as much of an increase as was received at that time. Certain schedules were presented by Mr. Julian showing comparisons. All engineering details were presented that came from the firm of Lawson & Fisher. When it was shown that Walkerton could reduce the rates by approximately 11.33 percent, the Board acted on an ordinance fixing the schedule of rates and charges to be collected by the Town of Walkerton, Indian from the customers served by the Municipal Electric Utility of said Town and Other Matters Connected Therewith. Mr. Heemer made a motion to pass the ordinance on the first reading. Ms. Gaddis seconded the motion and all voted in favor. Mr. Heemer made a motion to suspend the rules and have all three readings in one night. Mr. Bracich seconded the motion and all agreed. Mr. Heemer made a motion to have the attorney read the ordinance by title only on the second and third reading. Mr. Bracich seconded the motion and all agreed.

Mr. Heemer made a motion to continue this item and Bracich seconded it. Drawings were presented on the problematic sewer line on Adams Street concerning Raymond Lute and Hubert Gaddis, Sr. A lengthy discussion was held on this subject concerning whether or not Bob Mattocks had a private line or not. After the discussion Mr. Heemer made this motion: That with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mattocks permission, allow Mr. Lute to temporarily hook-up to the manhole in the alley at 609 Adams Street. Be that we leave Mr. Gaddis on septic system for the moment and see that within a year we run an eight inch sewer main from the deepest sewer line on Illinois Street approximately 400 feet up Adams Street toward Michigan Street and that when' that main is in place, Gaddis, Lute and Mattocks properties hook up within 90 days.
