Sidewalk — (Continued from page 1) was successful and the profits were up from the previous years. By the end of the day all food was consumed by approximately 400 persons. Anderson stated the money from the hog roast will be used for training aides within the fire department. Also between the hours of 1 and 5 p.m. a hoe down was held in front of T. G. Music on Main Street. A dance was scheduled in the old post office parking lot but because of the inclement weather this was called off. There were to be three bands featured for the street dance but only the List Brothers participated. The List Brothers play bluegrass music. Problems — (Continued from page 1) Pickwick Road project, Haskins and Lessig. In ah earlier board meeting Reed was asked to contact Haskins and have him provide a notarized document giving his orders to deviate from the original plans. Reed stated Richard Haskins said he did not receive a written change order from Lessig, but he sent a notarized statement about Lessig’s verbal change order. Lessig also replied about his orders and sent along a blue print of where the line is to be. In his letter he stated that deviations from the plans would not extend five feet south from the first manhole, but a power pole out of line caused the deviation. A comment was made by one of the residents on Pickwick Road, concerning how could they deviate as much as they did when there is a lasor beam as a guide. Isbell will be meeting with Harly Conrad on the Lessig drawings to have them varified to see if his comment and drawing are correct. The board decided to hold Haskins’ final payment of $13,000 until matters are cleared up. Reed and Isbell will also be meeting to see if there is anything that can be done about Lessig’s negligence in the three projects. Sewer Problems Warren Schwartz, Syracuse, asked the board members if they had heard anything from the engineers? He stated he has had water problems, of which Conrad is aware and has pumped out the sewer so it could be used. “I’m foreseeing more water problems in the future.” Schwartz also asked the town about putting a drain out to the sea wall or the other way. He also informed the board that the manhole in his driveway was now solid, as specification required. Isbell replied he will have the street department give some idea of away to take care of the problem. He also said he will personally check the manholes to see if they all have been corrected. Another sewer problem was brought to the board’s attention by Mrs. Betty Sims, North Huntington Street. She told the board that the lift station goes off constantly and the sewage backs up in her basement. The board was made aware that she made two calls before anyone went to help. No real solution was given to Mrs. Sims. Isbell stated there has been problems with the lift station and he didn’t know what to tell her except they will do the best they can to keep it running. |Pick Brandon, 601 Medusa St., told the board when the sewers were hooked up in that area, everything was to be replaced. Brandon stated the area was leveled off but not reseeded. He has talked to the street department but cannot seem to get anyone to do the task of resurfacing the area. The board members stated they will personally check with the street department on the matter. In another area the board was asked by a Syracuse resident for permission to vacate an alley, which has not been used for the past 25 years and leads to nowhere. The alley is located behind Doc Miller’s and the old lumber company. The board moved that the. residents could put up a gate and improve the area. Mayor Or Manager Paul Isbell requested information for the board on the mayor / manager situation, about what the board might do to bring this before the public. Reed stated the board could take a straw vote which would not have anything legal or binding about it. Another question asked Reed was if the board has the power to appoint a major manager if there is not a referendum? Isbell requested the boards authority to discuss the matter further with Betty Dust, clerk treasurer and Reed and present some type of ideas at the next meeting. An ordinance was passed providing a two-hour parking at all commercial areas, subject to the decision of the board. The ordinance will also eliminate the parking meter ordinance. In the last meeting Isbell stated the iron removal plant was repaired and in operation. Since that time there has been break downs in the system causing problems. Stremlin Hill and

Lessig have been notified in hope the problem will be alleviated. The board decided that once the problem is solved to have the necessary inspection by the state board of health. , Trash Problem The street department is running into trouble with the trash pick up of leaves, grass and limbs. The department stated people have put old refrigerators, freezers, etc., for them to pick up. With the permission of the board the street department will pick up tree limbs, grass ami leaves only on Friday and they are asking residents to place this trash on the curbs instead of the streets. In other department reports the police department submitted general specifications for the police car, to be purchased yet this year. In the specifications the items the department would like to have included, heavy duty police suspension, police speedometer and spot lights. All of these items requested are optional. The bids for the car will be taken at the September meeting. Also the board received a letter of resignation from Officer Jack Zimmerman. Zimmerman has been accepted into the Indiana State Police Academy and requested his resignation to be effective August 31. The fire department received a 8 letter from the Hoosier Fire Equipment company stating the Ward-La France Company, which would be making the the tanker, filed bankruptcy. Hoosier Fire has assured distribution of the tanker and it will be made by American-LaFrance who will apply the specifications to that of the Ward-LaFrance truck with the exception the pump and will be matte by their company. This will also affect the Turkey Creek Township Tanker. Other Business In other business, William Hess, new board member, will be* the town board represenative on the Turky Creek regional sewer board. A letter was received by the board, stating they have received the go ahead onfhe EPA grant and requested someone be named to the citizens’ advisory committee from the town board. The board thought that it would be beneficial for the town to have someone on the board, since the town is contemplating the same project and suggested Hess since he probably will be the only remaining member on the board. Also Dust read two ordinance concerning the emergency appropriations for additional funds and for transfering of funds in emergency situations. The board also heard from M. D. Wesler and Associates, Indianapolis, on their procedures for filing for the EPA grant on the infiltration-inflow problem Representing the firm was W. D. Wesler, John Keith and Darrell Fowler. Oakwood Park Reed stated he has been in contact with Don Scearce on the Oakwood project. The project would include the installation of sewer lines to tie in with the town which the government said they would have to do. In the original plans the sewer lines were to go down the road to their entrance, but was not in agreement with the board at that time. The board said for Oakwood to attach to the towns sewer they would have to come across their Orchard and go through Lingofelter Park and tap on at the lift station at Main Channel Marina. This would cost Oakwood park $20,000. Scearce has asked the town take the responsibilty patching up the road, but before any action is taken the board asked Conrad to look and see how many cuts would have to be made. Jeff Wells of the State Bank of Syracuse has asked the board permission to close Main to Huntington, October 18-20 to display the 1980 models. The board agreed that if he could obtain 100 per cent agreement from all the merchants he could do so, but if one merchant disagreed they would give him the choice of any parking lot in town for the display. Also the board approved the payment of claims and the reading of the meetings from the budget meetings and regular board meeting. The board will be meeting Monday, Aug. 27, for budget hearings and a executive session to discuss personnel problems will be held that week. Accident near Leesburg causes $ 3,800 damages Charles G. Zimmerman, 28, r 2 Leesburg, was involved in a rearend collision at 9:20 a.m. Friday, Aug. 17, on SR 15, one quartomile south of Leesburg.
