NEW BUSINESS

Insurance for Authority. Mr. Salisbury called the members’ attention to the proposal from H.A. Thomson. Mr. Salisbury reported that the Authority would save approximately $10,000 if it changed insurance carriers.

Mr. Millard reported that he discussed this issue with Township Manager Mike Rimer. Mr. Rimer raised a concern during their discussion as to whether or not the Board of Supervisors would object to the Authority going out on its own to obtain insurance in view of the Administrative Agreement in place between the Township and the Authority, which sets forth administration of the medical insurance, property insurance, and pension by the Township on behalf of the Authority.

A brief discussion ensued, during which it was agreed that staff would provide H.A. Thomson with a copy of the Authority’s current insurance policy to determine if the proposal provided the same coverage currently held by the Authority. Mr. Tyndale suggested that if the proposal provided basically the same coverage now carried, perhaps the Authority should approach the Township to discuss the matter further. Mr. Tyndale also stated that he was awaiting a proposal from another insurance carrier, and it should be available by the June meeting.

Proposal for GIS/GPS Mapping Updates. Mr. Salisbury called the members’ attention to the proposal from HRG in the amount of $3,000 to update the Authority’s GIS mapping. Following a brief discussion, it was agreed by consensus that Mr. Salisbury should request a breakdown of the proposal as to how much of the cost involved field work and how much involved office work. Mr. Salisbury will report back at the June meeting.

Proposal for Inspection/Cleaning of Treatment Plant and Pump Stations. Mr. Salisbury called the members’ attention to the two proposals included in the packet, one from Quality Electrical Services, Inc. in the amount of $1,700 and the other from K. L. Tyndale in the amount of $2,520. The services to be provided included the inspection and cleaning of electrical contacts at the treatment plant, the sludge press, the wet well, and the pump stations.

Mr. Tyndale moved, seconded by Mr. Steinmeier, to accept the proposal from Quality Electrical Services, Inc. in the amount of $1,700. The motion was unanimously approved.
