Leonard reviewed the agenda. Motion made by Burger, second by Gifford to approve agenda. Motion carried.
Jason Wenger, from The Burrington Group, gave a short presentation on the septic bid package his firm was proposing for the Rocky Nook area. A motion was made by Kramer, second by Gifford to approve the bid package. There was much discussion regarding the inclusion of the Advantex system in the proposal. Several Trustees expressed concern that having this specific system in the bid package would prohibit other systems from being looked at. Wenger told the Trustees that he was trying to provide a package that the DNR would accept. It was suggested that several Trustees meet with Dennis Lyons from the Delaware County Sanitation Department and Dan Olson from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to come up with a solution to the language needed to put the septic system out for bid. There are some time constraints as the agreement with the Rocky Nook calls for the system to be completed in November of this year. Kramer amended her motion to table acting on the bid package, Davidson seconded. Motion carried.
Kramer presented the Trustees with Lunda Construction’s second payment of $180,844.66. Motion was made by Burger, second by Schneider to approve payment. Motion carried.
Kramer asked the Trustees to approve filing submission of claims to the DNR for reimbursement per our agreement with the State of Iowa. The total amount for reimbursement is $463,254.40. This includes the two payments to Lunda Construction and two payments to Stanley Engineering. Motion by Schneider, second by Burger to approve. Motion carried.
Leonard asked Kramer to provide an update on the Peck property demolition. Kramer told the board that demolition had begun and Randy Harbach felt he could complete the project in the next couple of days. Kramer also mentioned that everything regarding the demolition project had been cleared with the DNR.
Leonard announced to the board that as of this afternoon he had heard from Jon Garton with the IDNR regarding our Phase II permit. Mr. Garton sent Leonard a letter stating that approval had been given for the flood plain permit to reconstruct and maintain the dam. Leonard expressed that this was very good news for Lake Delhi.
There being no public comment, a motion was made by Burger, second by Gifford to adjourn.
