Discussion with Sanitary Engineer re: Elmira Burlington Update

County Sanitary Engineer, Ziad Musallam, addressed the Board regarding language currently in place in city codes as it pertains to persons or contractors that are allowed to perform work on the County's sanitary sewer projects. The current language states, in pertinent part, that any person or contractor must provide proof for 5 years of work performed by said person or contractor prior to performing work on county project. Mr. Musallam recommended to the Board that the language be changed to state the following: Any person or contractor may be permitted, without prior verification, to construct and/or repair building sanitary sewers in the County, if Fulton County had prior knowledge and good working experience with said person's or contractor's sanitary sewer work. Otherwise, prior to work commencement, contractor shall submit list of three (3) prior work references relating to project.

Harold Stickley- Airport

Harold Stickley, Jan Burkhard, and members of the Airport Board were present to address the Board regarding matters pertaining to the Airport. They spoke of budget concerns based on 2006-07 figures and asked the Board to consider partial county funding to the Airport. Commissioner Genter stated that they have previously agreed to give them an Airport Manager at no cost to them in return for no county appropriations being assigned to them. Commissioner Genter further stated that as a part of that agreement, the Airport would be able to maintain any additional revenue they generate themselves which would include rentals, flight training, and selling fuel. This is in addition to any FAA grants they receive. Mr. Stickley stated that more hangars and airplanes are needed for them to continue being funded through the FAA. Commissioner Short suggested that Mr. Burkhard make a plea to the private sector to build the hangars and allow the Board to later purchase them. This would satisfy the requirements of the FAA without spending FAA grant dollars. Mr. Burkhard further added that they are expecting additional airplanes which in turn would also increase their yearly FAA grant amount. Commissioner Genter stated that he would need to see the Airport Board's figures to accurately assess their request.  Mr. Stickley further addressed security issues for the airport and federal requirements of such.  It is suggested by Perry Rupp that the north door be eliminated and a fence be put up along Dunbar Drive.  The Board suggested that a meeting be arranged for representatives to further discuss the issue.

Tom Spiess - Village Administrator Fayette

Mr. Spiess was present to address the board regarding a phone call he received from a company that is doing an evaluation of wind power in this region. He requested a letter of support from local government and intends to ask Village Council to adopt said letter. He further purported that beginning January 1, 2009, Toledo Edison would no longer be in the business of generation of energy, only in the business of distribution, which will most likely cause a rate increase.
