Commissioner Barnaby made the motion and Commissioner Genter seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously
9:04:42 AM Ziad Musallam, Fulton County Sanitary Engineer, Dan Bruner, Fulton County Soil & Water, and Randall Beck, Property Owner - Discuss Access Through Pettisville Sewer Property
 
Mr. Musallam said this issue has been discussed several years ago but at that time Mr. Beck did not own the property north of the Pettisville lagoon. He does own the property and is requesting access to cross the drive for the purpose of taking care of his cattle.

Mr. Bruner discussed the pasture managment program that Mr. Beck is participating in. Mr. Beck would like to put a crossing in over the ditch and place posts on his property - nothing would be on the county property. Cattle would not cross unless Mr. Beck was there. Mr. Bruner said this access requested would only encompass 20 feet but he doesn't know if that would be wide enough to get equipment back in there...30 to 40 feet would be good. Mr. Beck estimated the cattle would cross probably every 21 days although his daughters have horses and they could possibly use this crossing as well. Commissioner Short commented on a concern of equipment crossing - a liability issue. Mr. Beck said that it would not be tractors - only what it takes to drive the cattle across. Commissioner Genter said that the gates would have to remain closed after use. He added that he prefers a culvert type crossing. He expressed that they work with the Engineers' office to accomplish the crossing. An access agreement will be drawn up. Mr. Musallam said that the lagoon will have to be emptied and the sludge disposed of. Mr. Bruner said there is ample land available with permanent pasture. Commissioner Genter said that the Board does not have a problem with this; they only want to make sure that this is just a livestock crossing and not equipment. Commissioner Short noted also that this could set a precedence for the county. Commissioner Genter also said that the Board would like the fence set back far enough to allow the 40 feet or so that would be needed. Damage responsibility will be covered in the agreement. This agreement will be drafted and presented back to the Commissioners for their approval.

 
9:28:27 AM Review for Request for Extension of Time from Lingvai Excavating for Elmira/Burlington Sanitary Sewer Project
 
This request is due to weather delays. The completion date was agreed to prior in the contract and agreed upon by Lingvai. Mr. Musallam said that he estimated they were only delayed 16 days for weather and that would be the only extension the county would grant. He added that it is up to the Commissioners to grant. Lingvai is requesting 45 days. Commissioner Short asked what the additional time was for. Mr. Musallam said pump delivery was part of the issue and explained. Commissioner Genter said he would propose 20 days, or to the end of the month. Ziad will prepare a change order.
