UTILITY/MAINTENANCE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT: Nick Raver

Trustee Wimer reported that AWS plans to pump the test hole and find what the draw down is. Discussion was held on placement of two smaller wells with a capacity to pump 250 gallons per minute rather than the earlier recommendation of one well that pumps 425 gallons per minute and abandon Well 92-1 once the new wells are in place. Wimer stated two questions that need to be addressed: 1) need to prove two wells can pump at the same time, running independently, and 2) the amount of water available. Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services require that the wells be a minimum 300’ from one another, therefore Wimer recommends the well be placed at the southeast and northwest of our property.

Motion by Wimer, second by Guyle that the village proceed with two wells with the capacity to pump 250 gallons per minute, located at the site approved by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services and Well 92-1 be placed on inactive status once the project is completed. Well 92-1 would serve for fire protection only. Vote: Felty-yes, Guyle-yes, Havelka-yes, Wielage-absent, Wimer-yes; motion carried 4-0.

Last meeting’s discussion was held on whether the village should consider a combined pumping station at a cost of $200,000.00 to handle the backwash water and wastewater from the new water treatment facility or a grinder pump at $80,000.00 to handle the building wastewater (only) near the site entry, and a smaller pump in the backwash tank to handle the backwash water. Raver recommended that if future growth constitutes a drainage concern that those residences be required to install their own lift station.

Motion by Havelka, second by Guyle to not proceed with the proposed two options for a lift station. Vote: Guyle-yes, Havelka-yes, Wielage-absent, Wimer-yes, Felty-yes; motion carried 4-0.

It was reported that the homeowner at 1567 Co Red 10 is considering hooking up to village sewer. Raver has been notified that John Deere is discontinuing their equipment leasing program, therefore he was directed to seek bids from CAT and Nebraska Machinery for the purchase of a skid loader. Discussion was held on pressure issues at N. Third Circle and the next step to make improvements to the households involved. Raver is to fill a hole with asphalt at the corner of the entrance into N. Third Circle.

Motion by Havelka, second by Felty to re-appoint Jim Halbmaier, Rick Miller and Jody Weible for three-year terms on the Planning Commission. Vote: Havelka-yes, Wielage-absent, Wimer-yes, Felty-yes, Guyle-yes; motion carried 4-0.
