PUBLIC COMMENT

There was no public comment offered at this time.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES

Mr. Deaven noted that his correct middle initial was S rather than W, as reflected in the Minutes.

Mrs. Zimmerman moved, seconded by Mr. Deaven, to approve the September 18, 2001 Minutes as amended. The motion was approved 3-0, with Mr. Wingeard and Mr. Millard abstaining, as they were not present at the meeting.

FINANCIAL REPORT

Mr. Young noted that the operating expenses for October totaled $97,893.10.

Mr. Millard moved, seconded by Mr. Wingeard, to approve the operating expenses. The motion was unanimously approved.

OLD BUSINESS

Purchase of New Vehicle. Mr. Young said that the Authority staff was waiting for information on the new contract for the Piggyback Program, after which time a final decision would be made regarding the type of vehicle that would be purchased.

Home Occupations. Mr. Wingeard said he was researching several ideas relative to the process by which the Authority could be notified of new home occupations, as well as a process whereby a determination could be made as to whether or not payment of additional EDUs would

be appropriate. He added that he was also reviewing the Authority’s resolutions and the Township’s ordinance relating to the Authority and how they might be “cleaned up” and what might have to be rescinded.

NEW BUSINESS

Fox Mill Road. Mr. Young said that a pre-bid meeting would be held at the Authority Office on October 19, 2001 at 1 p.m. Mr. Young said that the bids would be received and opened prior to the next Authority meeting; therefore, he requested that the Authority grant him permission to award the bid in an effort to move the project forward.

Mr. Wingeard moved, seconded by Mr. Zimmerman, that the Chairman be authorized to award the contract for the Fox Mill Road project to the lowest responsible bidder based on the recommendations of the Authority’s solicitor and engineer. The motion was unanimously approved.

PUBLIC COMMENT

Donald Steinmeier, 11 North Fairville Avenue. Mr. Steinmeier noted that the Arrears List showed that the N&G Motel owed in excess of $21,000 for sewer charges. He asked what action the Authority was taking to recover those funds. Mr. Young said that the property was for sale and that a lien had been entered against the property.

Mr. Steinmeier said that it was his understanding that there were numerous home occupations being operated in the Township under fictious names and that there were also several group homes in the Township. Mr. Wingeard referred to the comments he made earlier in the meeting regarding putting a mechanism in place whereby the Authority would be notified of home occupations.

REPORTS

Mark Salisbury, Wastewater Treatment Superintendent. Mr. Salisbury submitted a written report (a copy of which is attached to the Minutes). Mr. Millard said that it was his understanding that the pump station located at Manor Drive and Sandy Hollow Road was at capacity. Mr. Salisbury responded saying that the pump station was not at capacity and that if it reached near capacity, the possibility existed to enlarge it at that time.

Karen Tupper, Engineer. Mrs. Tupper submitted a written report (a copy of which is attached to the Minutes).

Robert Long, Solicitor. Mr. Long was not present at the meeting.

ADJOURNMENT

Mr. Wingeard moved, seconded by Mrs. Zimmerman, to adjourn the meeting. The motion was unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 7:53 p.m.
