Resolution
2009-572 |
-
Mr. Musallam
stated that the plans will be completed tomorrow for the
Northeast FC Water District Project and will be meeting with
the EPA at the Bowling Green office on Thursday.
-
Mr. Musallam
stated that he met with the Swancreek Water Board last week
regarding several issues and discussed matters relating to
water capacity, funding sources and time tables for the
Northeast Fulton County Water Project and presented the
Commissioners with questions that are being asked by the
District. He further presented a map and explained that
within the Swancreek Water District the line will be
constructed along CR 3, from the intersection of CR 3 and F,
north, all the way to H, which is the end of their water
district and the beginning of Fulton County’s. He said they
will be taking off a 12’ main at the intersection of 3 & F
on the west side of 3 to SR 2 then from SR 2 to H. From
there they haven’t yet decided which side of H this will
run. H will terminate their service territory area. This
will also be the location of the water meter and pump
station. The location of the water meter will determine
water usage. This will be implemented as part of the water
system. Other issues asked by the District is how much is
their portion going to cost. Mr. Musallam stated that the 1st
2 miles will be a shared cost, the rest is hard to tell at
this point, other than hydrants, taps and other costs that
are easily identified. He stated that before proceeding an
agreement needs to be in place with the District. There is
currently a water service agreement in place that can be
amended. He stated that the Engineers Office is currently
working on obtaining the easements needed and addressing
some drainage issues.
-
Mr. Musallam
stated that he spoke with the Evergreen School
Superintendent regarding an update on the Northeast Fulton
County Water Project. They looked at the site for a
potential easement for the water tower. He stated that they
need an area 100’ x 100’. The superintendant suggested
putting it in the parking lot between the 2 schools and
close to the proposed water main from CR 6. Mr. Musallam
stated that he asked if the water board would be willing to
grant the easement to the commissioners at no cost to the
county. This will be presented for vote tonight at the
school board meeting. Mr. Musallam presented a map of the
proposed area. Commissioner Short expressed concern of the
location stating that it was so close to the entrance. Mr.
Musallam requested the Board to pass a resolution
authorizing the request for a permanent easement and for
County Administrator to negotiate terms and conditions for
the easement with the Evergreen Board of Education.
Commissioner Barnaby made the motion and Commissioner
Genter seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Discuss
Elmira/Burlington Sewer Assessments
Resolution
2009-573 |
Bev Schlosser,
County Treasurer, and Nancy Yackee, County Auditor were present
for the discussion. Bev stated that the assessments for the
Elmira/Burlington Sewer District have been adjusted in June and
would like to set those to 1 year assessments in October like
the others instead of semi-annually. She stated that by the
time they receive the mid year assessments, the amounts are
already set and the bills had to be reprinted, incurring more
costs of time and materials. Mr. Musallam stated that the only
problem he would see with that is that there is a resolution in
place requiring semi-annual adjustments. Commissioner Genter
stated that they would need to rescind that resolution and send
a letter to the residents affected letting them know that the
adjustments will be done annually. Commissioner Genter made the
motion to rescind the prior resolution adjusting the sewer rates
semi-annually and to now adjust the assessments annually and
Commissioner Barnaby seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously. |

Counties.
Amanda stated that
they are also still working on ways to trim their budget and
asked if the Board would still like to continue the annual Air
Tour hosted by the District. She stated that this is a cost of
approximately $800. This is not including paid help. This $800
covers advertising and the costs of meals for the pilots.
Commissioner Short inquired if there would be any businesses
willing to do donations. Amanda stated that she would check but
donations have been dwindling. Commissioner Short then
suggested that they speak with the Airport Authority Board at
their next meeting to see if there is anything they can do to
help.
Curt stated that
they have been in the fields preparing for the 3” rains that
have been coming. They are working on budget issues and stated
that they are still interested in recycling and still believes
that they will be eligible for state matching funds down the
road.
Curt stated that
while trying see what the District can do to generate more
dollars he suggested the possibility of having the conference
room divided up into smaller offices and have it used as an ag
info center for the county. Instead of people going from one
place to the other, they could have offices all in one place for
the farm bureau, farm credit, loan officers and so on. The
offices would then pay rent to have an office located there.
