Meeting Minutes of July 14, 1987
The meeting was called to order at 7:02 pm by Chairman Walter Briechke. The roll was called. Present were Mr. William Hardenbergh, Miss Phoebe Cox, Mr. Vern Cornell, Mr. Douglas Mayer, Mrs. Fran Voss, and Mr. Walter Brieschke. Mr. Richard Parrish was absent. Employees present were Mrs. Becky Roberts and Mr. Walter Butler.
Minutes of the June 9, 1987 meeting were corrected – Section 8, correct spelling “their” instead of “there”. Mr. Cornell submitted his report on the Cross Connection Training Session held at Giant City State Park on May 7, 1987 to be attached to the July 14, 1987 meeting minutes. The rest of the minutes were approved as submitted.
Mr. Bill O’Connel was present from the IRWA to present a slide presentation on Cross Connection Control. Those attending other than Board member and employees were Mrs. Kara Dunkel and Mr. George Oliver, Mr. William Dean, Mrs. Martha Heern, Mrs. Helen Orthwein, and Mr. Michael Blair. After the slide presentation was completed there were several questions answered and interest shown in one planning for Cross Connection Control in our district. Dual Check Valves were discussed as a measure of controlling cross connections. Cross Connection Control will be discussed during the next several months in order to decide what actions will be taken by the District.
All guests except Mrs. Kara Dunkel, Mrs. Helen Orthwein, and Mrs. Marth Heern left and the monthly meeting continued.
Mrs. Dunkel asked about the boil water order that was put out for our district on 6/26/87. Mr. Brieschke stated that SHWD put out the boil water order and it was really only for our first 9 customers because of low pressure from SHWD. Mr. Brieschke sent a letter to WCIL Radio asking them to accept the boil water orders only from Mrs. Roberts, Mr. Butler, Mr. Mayer, or Mr. Brieschke so that we can determine where and how many of our customers are really effected by the boil order. This should improve Public Relations with other customers also. Boil orders should be issued for specified sections of BPWD rather than the entire district.
The Secretary/Treasurer report was read and accepted. Our water loss continues to increase (this month 19%) so it was agreed to call Mr. David Bigs of Blankenship Engineering to do a water loss survey with Mr. Butler as soon as possible.
The Financial report was read and accepted.
November 7, 1974 : It was agreed by all Board Members to remove this from the agenda until the Village Board contacts BPWD.
Budget Committee Formation: Mr. Cornell, Mr. Parrish, Mr. Brieschke, and Mrs. Roberts met July 10,1987 and started a rough draft. Copies will be sent to all Board Members before next meeting for their review and discussion at next months meeting.
Proposal for completion of storage building: Mr. Butler will have proposals for finishing the building at next months meeting. Mr. Mayer submitted a proposal from Williams Heating for central heating and air conditioning for a price of $2,055.00. This was tabled until next months meeting.
Supplies for storage building: Two steel desks, and ten steel shelving units for a value of approximately $2,000 were obtained from SIU Surplus Property Department through Mr. Parrish at no charge. Also Mr. Butler donated a utility sink.
The monthly meeting adjourned at 8:10 pm by motion by Mrs. Voss and seconded by Mr. Cornell. Voice vote – all yes.
