WALKERTON TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES (continued from Page 1) authorizing the financing of both projects. The ordinance would have language to provide for a short term loan for the north phase and would provide for a long time bond issue for the south phase. This would allow us to get the north phase started and not jeopardize the grant in any way. Options for financing the rest of the project include the Indiana Bond Bank or the Town selling bonds on the open market. Samuelson recommended that the Town sell bonds on the open market for a lower interest rate. He added that there will have to be an adjustment to the sewer rates to generate revenue to pay off some idea of how much of • rate increase will be needed. Samuelson answered that they will have to update their information, and will be able to give us those figures at our next meeting. Jaske asked if the north phase is ready to be put out for bid. Jeff Zehner answered that, to his knowledge, everything is ready. J aske asked if anyone has talked to Pioneer Southern about their offer to contribute to the cost of the north phase. David Behr answered that he had written to Pioneer Southern's corporate office in Virginia to see if they are still willing to pledge the $15,000.00, that they had said they would contribute if the extensions were done in 1993. Behr said that he had heard, verbally, that they will still contribute the $15,000.00, but has not had a written response to his letter. Gene Reese asked if we are ready to go north sooner than south because we have not been able to get all the easements signed for the south phase. Zerhner answered yes, that they are still deciding which side of the road, or center of the road will be the route for the sewer lines. Reese asked how far away is the starting date for the south phase. Zehner said that it will take six to eight weeks to get a construction permit. Len Jaske said that it is his feeling that we would get a better break if we do it as one big project, rather than several small projects, since the equipment would already be here. Jaske asked if the engineers have given a time frame for completion of the north project. Zehner said that they did give us that information, but he didn’t have it with him tonight. There was some discussion about the short term and long term loans for the north and south phases. Samuelson said that if we had adopted a reimbursement resoluton, we would be able to pay the $70,000.00, for the north phase, out of sewer funds and re reimbursed from the bond issue. Attorney Holmes said that he was sure that such an ordinance was adopted last year, and asked the clerk to make certain that there is one on file. There was one bid for the Town’s trash pick up for the next year. Attorney Holmes advised that we announce that the award of the bid will be deferred until the next meeting. Superior Waste Systems bid $5.97 a month for 804 dwelling units, which would make a total annual payment of $57,598.56. The Council will make a decision at the April 4, 1994 meeting. MONTHLY REPORTS: Dave Bolze submitted a report on their accumulated time, and informed the Council of what had caused the men to work the extra hours. Bolze had been asked to look over new Christmas decorations for downtown. He recom-

mended that we put up decorations that don't light up, on the downtown lamp posts as they already provide a lot of light. The Council reviewed some of the literature that Bolze had brought to the meeting. Bolze suggested that the old fashioned lantern decorations that used to be hung downtown, be put down the side streets. It was tentatively decided to put big candy cane decorations or wreaths on the lamp posts. Bolze further recommended that the little white lights not be used on the trees, in the future. He said that a lot of the bulbs were stolen and some of the wires were cut this past Christmas. President Rizek asked Dave Behr how much was spent on the little lights this past year, and he responded that they bought cheaper lights this time and he thought they cost around $75.00. After some discussion, it was felt that $75.00 was not a lot of money for the lights and that we should continue to put them up. Dave Behr was asked to check to see if the lights can be purchased at an even cheaper price at this time of year. Dave Bolze reported on a meeting that was held to dicsucss running electric service to the new facility for Rossborough Mfg., which is soon going to be under construction. Those at the meeting included two representatives from Rossborough, a representative from NIPSCO, David Bolze, Gene Reese and Roman Brehm. Bolze told the Council that the electric service that we have available to run out to Rossborough is 3 phase, and that is not enough. Bolze said that there are three ways to handle this, and they are: the Town could build another substation, build a separate line from our substations or rebuild our existing line. Bolze said that there is another problem, and that is that our lead reclosure, on the substation, breaks at 100 amps. This would mean some substation work, perhaps a bigger reclosure. Bolze has talked to Art Beem and an engineer from NIPSCO, and both recommend that the Town hire an electrical engineer to see what the substation needs and may be design a simpler way to get power out to Rossborough. Bolze added that we only have six months to 8^ power out to Rossborough, and we currently only have six men working for the utilities. Jollie Back has retired and not been replaced, and Gary Anspaugh is on sick leave. Also two of the electric men will be attending NIPSCO line school for a month this spring. Bolze said they can’t get this work done, in the time it needs to be done, and recommends that we contract the work out. Len Jaske said that he feels we should get a quote to see how much it would take to upgrade the system, and see if it will be economically feasible. Attorney Holmes suggested that Bolze contact someone like Koontz Wagner to see if they also provide engineering services. Bolze said that NIPSCO has given him the name of a good engineer, and he would like to get a proposal from him. Holmes said that in addition, it wouldn’t hurt to see if Koontz-Wagner does provide engineering services, and to get a quote from them. These proposals are to be reviewed at the next meeting. Holmes remarked that the Rossborough property is in our service area, whether or not the property is annexed. Bolze had gotten prices for three transformers for the project, and they are: Jerry's Electric - $31,500.00 with three to four weeks for delivery and Solomon Electric - approximately $27,000.00 with six to eight weeks for delivery.
