Leonard opened the only bid for the Rocky Nook Water Treatment System from Groth Services in Manchester, IA. The bid amount total was $242,404.05. Motion by Kray to table decision on bid until presentation by Burrington Group on August 1, 2014 at 3PM, Kramer second. All ayes, motion passed.
Colgan advised the Construction Committee met with Bill Holman this week. The Trustees saw the bid package when we sent the final permit application as final drawings were included in that request. Colgan wanted to make sure Lunda Construction was substantially on schedule on Phase I before we sent bids out for Phase II. While Lunda Construction may have had some delays due to weather, they are now back on track. Colgan recommends setting up the dates to go out to bid today as the bids will be ready Monday or Tuesday. Sluice gates are handling water flow now. Leonard made motion to authorize Pat Colgan and Kray to make final decision on dates for bids with an estimate of 7/29/14 for release and a return date of 8/27/14 for return and approve Phase II bid package, Davidson second. Colgan would like to award the bid by Labor Day. Leonard modified his motion to include a public hearing on the return date, Davidson second. Davidson said this is another exciting milestone for Lake Delhi. Individual roll call requested, all ayes, motion passed.
Leonard introduced the document titled 4th Agreement Regarding Payment Delays for the dredge debt. Burger advised we will have to meet with the bank prior to the new extension of 10/1/14 runs out. We have signed a similar document 3 times in the past, it just gives us more time to negotiate a new payment schedule. Motion by Burger to approve signing of the form, Kramer second. Leonard said Lori Dolan has agreed to meet within the next week to discuss payments. Individual roll call requested, all ayes, motion passed.
Public comment – Ken DeKlotz asked what are we doing in Rocky Nook. Leonard advised when we purchased property in that area, we affected their septic system and the replacement of their septic system was part of our agreement with the Rocky Nook Association.
Barb DeKlotz asked what the lobbyists are doing for us. Leonard said there has been discussion in previous meetings and it will be on the agenda next Friday and will have a lot more dialogue.
Motion to adjourn by Kramer, Davidson second. All ayes, motion passed, meeting adjourned at 4:25pm.
