Syracuse water rates approved
By DEB FOX New water rates for the Town of Syracuse were approved Thursday, June 12, by the Indiana Public Service Commission. The increase will be 27.7 per cent and will mean an additional $33,206 in annual revenue. Robert Reed, Syracuse town attorney, stated the next step for the town is to submit the new rate to the tariff division of the state before the rates are enforeced. Reed also stated the town was assessed $1,031.81 by the Public Service Commission and has 20 days to pay the costs. The assessment was for advertising and the public services engineers looking into the increase. A residential customer using 4,000 gallons of water a month will pay $636 once the rate increase is effective compared to $4.98 currently in effect. The increase was requested because the revenue for operating the water department was less than the operating costs Problem With Disturbance Several citizens from Harrison Street came to the board meeting to see what could be done with the congregating of teenagers at the city parking lot near their homes. Residents stated the teens are playing loud music, yelling profanities and causing a great disturbance. The disturbance begins around 9:30 p.m. and lasts until midnight. One citizen stated he knows the police are doing a good job and their hands are tied in the situation. “We need to do something, shomehow, to get the place shut down, there is no reason for the kids raising ..” the concerned citizen added, “I don’t want to get involved with playing games with these kids, I’m not going to put up with it.” Syracuse Police Chief Robert Houser has been in contact with the town attorney to see what legally can be done. Reed asked the chief be given a chance to see what he can come up with. He added there are town ordinances against noises and the congregation of three or more people in a public place or street. Reed said this may be the first step. Fred Dust is concerned about the sewer in Lingofelter park and when the road will be repaired. The town repeated information given to them by Don Scearce, engineer for Oakwood Park. Scearce found imiltration problems in Oakwood and the town will not accept the sewer lines until this is corrected. As for , the road being repaired Carl Myrick, board president, stated there would be no use in repairing the road until the sewer problems are solved. It’s pretty disgusting for us people back there,~now we have to swallow the dirt.,. I think the town should get going and get something done,” remarked Dust. The board asked Reed to call Scearce and find out what is happening on the system and then relay the message on to Dust. Never Fixed For the past three years, according to Dave McGrew, he has asked that the interceptor to the sewer system be fixed but “not a . . thing has been done.” Vai Duggins, superintendent of utilities, stated there was not much the town could do with it at this time, but will be looking at the interceptor to see what the problem might be. William Hess commented the problem might as well be taken care of now. “I really think someone should be out there during heavy rains, cleaning the sewers at that time,” remarked McGrew, who continued “1 don’t want it in my basement anymore or someone will be hearing about it.” Needs Meter John Price, owner of Lakeland Laundry, is concerned over the surcharge he is paying on his sewer bill, compared to a random number of businesses near his and one business up town. Reed explained the surcharges established and informed Price he is on a flat rate because he is not metered while the others pay according to how much they use because of being metered. After a lengthy discussion
between Price and the board, Price was told it would be beneficial for him to have his water used in the sewer system metered. Later in the meeting Joe Morganthaler asked if Price could be loaned a meter for 90 days, if one is available, to see which way he would want to go. The board agreed this would be a good idea, but the meter hook up would be at his own cost and if he decided to go the metered route, Price would have to purchase a meter. Jim Wogoman, Turtle Bay Trailer Park, wondered why the new garbage company was not picking up at the park and why Lakeland Sanitation was picking up the garbage and he was being charged. Wogoman was told Darrell’s PDQ is contracted to pick up one cubic yard of trash at Turtle Bay, but will not pick up trash if there is a trash container from Lakeland Sanitation. He was also informed to talk to Lakeland. Last spring a plat for putting additional sewer lines in Turtle Bay Park was submitted to the board and Wogoman questioned what was being done. Board members did not remember receiving the plat from the old board and Reed asked if a copy of the specifications could be obtained and given to Duggins, who would then come to the board. Department Reports Joe Anderson, captain of the Emergency Medical Service, submitted specifications for a modular unit, to be considered as a new ambulance. With the modular unit the chasis can be separated from the box and replaced with another chasis. Duggins remarked they have started looking at the sewer lines on W. E. Long Drive, but cannot go any farther until the water table is brought down. He also stated he is waiting on parts for the lift station at the Syracuse State Bank Branch. The lift station was hit by lightning several weeks ago. Houser requested the board promote Steve Knispel from probation to patrolman. Knispel recently completed training at the police academy school. The request to advertise for bids on a new police car, to be delivered in November or December, was taken under advisement. The board is not sure money is available. Kenny Johnson, fire chief, asked if they could readvertise on the old town fire pumper. He will be looking into advertising in a quarterly firemen’s magazine, . which will come out sometime in August. Board Discussion Robert W. Snyder, Pierceton, was chosen by th town to be a representative on the Kosciusko Cardiac cooking class set Goshen hospital is offering a cardiac cooking seminar on Tuesday, June 24, from9a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Community Health Information Center behind the hospital. This seminar is for persons who must follow a low salt or low cholesteral diet because of a heart problem and for the individual who prepares their meals. Pre-registration is required. The class is limited to 20 participants. A fee will be charged, which includes lunch.

During the day. Barb Fierce, dietician, with the assistance of Dottie Kauffmann, R.N., will lead the discussion and prepare a meal using low salt and low cholesteral recipes. Recipes and cookbooks on low cholesteral and low salt diets will be available.
County Area Plan Commission advisory council. Reed received a reply from the state highway commission and was told if the town needed anything further to call Louis Moser, Goshen district supervisor. The state highway swept SR 13. Also Reed wrote the state highway commission concerning the crossing at SR 13 and the state highway commission in turn wrote the railroad company to come down and fix the crossings. One crossing was patched by the street department. The police department was given permission to dismantel several doors from the old town hall. The board discussed what it would do with the building in the near future. Carl Myrick, board president, read a letter concerning a Board of Zoning Appeals meeting, Thursday, June 19, when there will be a discussion on Fish-N-Fun, tearing down two old buildings on their lot. Also Myrick reminded the board there will be a public hearing concerning the bridge on SR 13, Thursday evening at 6 p.m. in Wawasee High School. Next Tuesday evening, the board will meet with representatives from the police and park departments concerning their 1981 budgets. The meeting will be at7:3op.m.
