Discuss VoIP (voice over IP)

Justin Thompson was present for this discussion.
His suggestion to the board is to obtain a new phone system -
going from 12 at present down to 2 - a system here and a system
at Detwiler. Problems were encountered earlier this year as a
result of lightning strikes. Parts for the system at the Senior
Center took about a week to receive due to the age of the
system. Commissioner Barnaby asked about the timetable if we
switch. JT said he was not sure at this point - not next month
for sure. Cost is a big issue - he anticipates paying for the
system out of the savings that would be realized. Cost estimates
are expected within a couple of weeks. |

Plan
RESOLUTION 2006-679
to support the change to the area as proposed |
Steve Brown, Regional Planning Director was
asked by Commissioner Graf to briefly detail the amendment. The
unincorporated of Burlington/Elmira getting public sewer is
reason to look at the urban growth area. A new area is being
proposed. The Regional Planning Commission has approved the
proposal.

|
10:04:53 AM |
Rod Creager, Chief Deputy Engineer - First Hearing on
Ditch 2103 (Iozzo)
Resolution 2006-680 |
Summary: Mr. Creager presented an overview map
of the area petitioned. A new 10-inch tile is proposed from a
rural subdivision and continue to an open ditch - approximately
400 feet. 28 acres would be drained and would change the area
from agricultural to rural residential. He explained how the
proposed work would be accomplished. 10 connections are
estimated. Mr. Creager said he believes the project to be
feasible.
Mr. Creager's report in its entirety:
PRELIMINARY
ENGINEER'S REPORT
Ditch No. 2103
Upper Amboy-Lucas No. 3
Iozzo Petition
October 2, 2006
PROJECT INITIATION
This drainage improvement was initiated through a single
county drainage petition filed by Mr. and Mrs. Michael Iozzo on
July 31, 2006. The work petitioned for includes installing a new
ten (10) inch storm sewer and appurtenances from the Iozzo Rural
Subdivision across the Gillen property to an open ditch known as
Ditch No. 2010, Amboy Lucas No. 3
The petition commences on the Iozzo Gillen property line
approximately twelve hundred ninety (1,290) feet north of US 20
in the Southeast Quarter of Section 23, T-9-S, R-4-E in Amboy
Township and continues downstream to the east terminating at the
upper end of Amboy Lucas No.3.
Amboy Lucas No. 3 was last cleaned in 1975 and is presently on
the Fulton County ditch maintenance program administered by the
County Commissioners and managed by the County Engineer.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The objective of this project is to install a new ten (10)
inch storm sewer across the Gillen property, along with the
necessary appurtenances, to ultimately serve as the new storm
drainage outlet of a rural subdivision drainage system to be
installed by the Iozzos. The storm sewer will drain twenty-eight
(28) acres of surface and subsurface storm water from the middle
portion of the Iozzo property that is currently drained via 6and
10-inch agricultural drainage tiles. The new storm drainage
outlet will provide an improved outlet for the rural subdivision
and will reduce the load on the existing drain tile, potentially
extending the existing drain tile's useful life.
WORK PROPOSED
The work plan for this project includes the installation of
400 L.F. of 10-inch Type C, polyvinyl chloride solid wall pipe
(PVC) with rubber gasket joints. The pipe will be installed on
six inches of granular bedding material with granular backfill
to six inches above the top of the pipe. The remainder of the
trench will be filled with finely divided soil, free of rocks
and debris and mechanically compacted in six inch lifts. An
animal guard will be placed in the outlet end of the new pipe
and a catch basin will be installed just inside the Iozzo
property at the upper terminus of the new outlet. A short length
of pipe will be extended to the west from the new catch basin to
facilitate extension of the storm drain into the rural
subdivision at a later date.
All disturbed grassed areas will be restored by seeding and
mulching including the ditch bank and the lawn area from the
Iozzo drive to the new tile and catch basin. Rock channel
protection will be placed at the outlet as required to prevent
erosion at the ditch.
A parallel drain tile header is proposed to connect any lateral
ag drains from the north on the Gillen property that may be cut
off by the installation new rural subdivision outlet. The
parallel header will eliminate the need to connect old field
tiles to the new storm sewer thus preserving the integrity of
the new storm sewer.
A temporary construction easement fifty feet in width is
proposed from the Iozzo drive to the open ditch across the Iozzo
and Gillen properties. Across Gillen, the temporary easement
will be centered on the line of the improvement. Across Iozzo
the easement will be generally straight from the drive to the
catch basin but redirected as required to avoid the existing
tile and the Iozzo septic system.
CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE
The attached preliminary construction estimate is based on
information that was obtained through drainage project records,
aerial photos, field observations, and an engineering plan of
infrastructure improvement for the Iozzo rural subdivision
prepared for the Iozzos by T.R. Worline and Associates, Inc.,
and submitted to the Engineer's office along with the single
county petition. The estimated cost for the construction of the
proposed ten (10) inch storm sewer, the installation of a six
(6) inch parallel ag drainage header, restoration and erosion
control and damages is $17,658.27 including engineering and
administrative costs.
The final detailed construction estimate will be used to
determine the estimated assessments for each parcel. Assessments
will be considered at the final hearing on this proposed
improvement. Upon completion of the project work plan, final
assessments will be prorated to reflect the actual final cost of
the work completed.
PROJECT BENEFITS AND ESTIMATED ASSESSMENTS
Rural residential properties will benefit from improved
drainage by increasing or maintaining their property values.
According to local real estate sources, as a general rule,
properties suffering from standing water throughout their entire
yards are often judged to be devalued as much as 20% to 30%.
Properties with some standing water could be devalued as much as
10% to 20%. Areas that suffer even the stigma of standing water
could be devalued by 5% to 10%.
Assessments for the proposed improvement will be based on the
benefits received from the drainage improvements. The type and
quantity of drainage runoff contributed by each parcel will be a
consideration. The location of a parcel relative to the location
of the work may also be considered.
It is expected that the benefits derived from the proposed
improvement over 20will be greater $50,000.00 and will exceed
the estimated project costs. Assessments for the project are
estimated to range from $438.00 to $1,190.00 per acre.
MAINTENANCE
The Ohio Revised Code requires that all drainage improvement
projects be placed on a permanent maintenance program. The code
provides for the right of access to drainage lines to perform
maintenance activities. The permanent maintenance access
easement for this improvement will be thirty feet in width
centered on the line of the storm sewer.
APPARENT FAVORABLE FACTORS
1. Property values will be improved or protected.
2. Erosion control measures along the open ditch will reduce
erosion and protect the open channel from deterioration.
3. Having the storm sewer placed on permanent maintenance will
insure that the drain can be kept clean and free flowing and
will protect the investment in this proposed improvement.
APPARENT UNFAVORABLE FACTORS
1. Temporary production loss can be expected on cropland
along the line of the improvement during construction and some
reduced yields can be expected for a year or two after
construction.
2. Periodic production loss and inconvenience may result from
future maintenance activity.
3. Lawn areas adjacent to the work area will be disrupted.
PROJECT FEASIBILITY
The project proposed in the petition is feasible and can be
economically completed through the drainage improvement petition
process.
Carl Gillen, a property owner questioned an easement. Mr.
Creager said that it would be scaled down to probably a 30-foot
easement. Mr. Gillen said that he would like to see that kept as
narrow as possible and if possible maybe drop it down to a 20.
Testimony: None offered
Commissioner Graf asked Mr. Gillen about a parallel tile that
was mentioned at the view. Mr. Gillen explained and the existing
tile was pinpointed.
Commissioner Graf closed the hearing at 10:32 AM.
Commissioner Genter made the motion and Commissioner Barnaby
seconded the motion. November 6 at 10:30 AM will be the date and
time for the Engineers Report. Motion carried unanimously |
