· Ziad
Musallam, County Sanitary Engineer, to discuss:
1) Correspondence from Ohio EPA regarding Landfill |
Addressing
the concerns stated in the letter, he stated that the original
markers were numbered as the outbreaks occurred and were not in
order. He has changed the number system and are now laid out in
order. He noted that there was no one present from the County
during the inspection due to the EPA representative arriving an
hour late for the inspection.
Commissioner Short inquired of the broken pipe that is still
being mentioned in the inspection letter. Mr. Musallam stated
that he sent plans to Ms. Wick of the EPA back in June or July
and that the issue is still be worked out. He stated that it is
under review although it is not mentioned in the inspection
letter. He noted that due to the increased hauling, outbreaks
have been reduced. Commissioner Genter asked if they monitor
water quality at the edge of the property. Mr. Musallam stated
that samples are taken however has never had the results shared
with him and does not expect to unless there are problems
detected as a result of the leachate. |

9:11:04 AM |
2)Teleflex
Waterline Service Agreement Renewal |
Mr.
Musallam stated that the Service Agreement has expired and
presented the Board with a copy of that agreement. He stated
that this was a 5 year contract and was not auto-renewable.
Mr.
Musallam stated that Teleflex is now closed and the usage is not
there, however there are residential properties along that
waterline. He further noted that the water quality goes down
when there is less flow through the pipe. He feels that if
Paul’s Ready Mix were to tap into the line, about 1 mile east of
Teleflex, it will help tremendously with the water flow.
He stated
that the current agreement is typical to maintain and operate
the infrastructure and asked if the renewal should go more than
5 years. Commissioner Genter proposed going with a 5-year
automatic renewal contract. Commissioner Short stated he would
prefer having it reviewed every 5-years before renewal. Mr.
Musallam stated that the renewal can stipulate a 30-90 day
review period before renewal. He stated he will draft a renewal
agreement and present it to the Board for their review at that
time. |
|
9:23:32 AM |
3)Tap Fee
for Pahl Ready Mix Concrete |
Mr.
Musallam stated that the owner of Pahl Ready Mix Concrete had
contacted him asking the status of his previous inquiry to
consider reducing the tap fee on the Teleflex Water Line. The
owner was further inquiring the basis of the tap fee. The debt
on the line was paid in full by Teleflex and Mr. Musallam stated
that the tap fees are not for debt service, but for operational
maintenance and capital improvements. The current tap charge is
$10,000. Commissioner Genter asked how many taps were on that
line at that rate. There were none. Commissioner Genter stated
that the rate should be reduced to encourage business. He
proposed reducing the tap fee and increasing the surcharge that
is based on usage. He stated there is no benefit to charging
these huge tap fees. Commissioner Short agreed and stated that
we need to get people using it.
Mr.
Musallam asked if it is their intent to look at all other
waterline tap charges or just this one. Commissioner Genter
stated that he wants to be consistent through the whole process,
for all of them. Commissioner Genter asked what was currently
in the fund for capital improvements for breaks in the line
should they occur. Mr. Musallam stated he did not know off hand
but would get the numbers together and present them for further
discussion. Mr. Musallam asked what he should tell the owner of
Pahl Ready Mix, Commissioner Short stated that they will make a
decision shortly based on the figures presented by Mr.
Musallam. |

Rod
Creager, Chief Deputy Engineer To File Amended Plans on Ditch
Improvement No. 2105 |
Rod
Creager, Chief Deputy Engineer, presented his continued engineer
report on Ditch Improvement 2105-Eyer. He stated that he
reworked the plan with a 30" tile. When the plan is completed he
will get with the city of Wauseon to make sure there are no
problems going under the road. He presented the tentative cost
and stated that he would come back in upon hearing back from the
City. A date and time of November 20th at 10:00
a.m. was set. At that time, he will be able to come up with
a more final cost estimate to help evaluate the best finance
option should the matter proceed. |
