note- the meeting started late, due to Bob Rupakus showing up late.
The meeting was held to discuss the change in bids by the companies involved with the methane testing at the old landfill site, located at Woodman St. (former location of the Trailer Court)
After recieving the initial bids, they where changed , due to the needs for finding the exact location of the landfill site.American Engineering was the bid that was accepted, even though they where not the lowest bid. The other companies did not have the proper testings listed in there bids.
A short discussion was also held in regards to Partridge Ave. work for next year. The sum of $390,000.00 worth of work is planned. Susanne Peeples gave the board information on a Public Facility Funds program, that would assist with $60,000.00 of grant money, but the money would have to be used towards low to moderate income area of the community. Bob Rupakus questioned why they should not just apply, and if they felt like it, they could deny the grants later. The other members explained to him, that is frowned upon, and would not be in the best interest of the board or community.
Rick and Kris Talford asked the committee if those funds could be used in the Park areas for street and water to those areas. Bill and Susanne both stated that it was a good thought, but the Parks would not fall under the program. The area most able to be helped would be residential .The meeting then ended, with Bill Stewart signing off a couple papers for Susanne to do some preliminary checking on the grants. The meeting lasted only 15-20 minutes.
