Village of Brownville

Special Meeting

September 20, 2012

Meeting was called to order at 6:30pm by vice-chairman, Martin Hansen. Board members present:  Paul Fish, Jay Tallmon and Bob Sailors.  Absent Martin Hayes.  Also present Kay Fish, clerk, Lucas Billesbach, JEO engineer, Ken Swanson and Bob Wintz from BOPW.

Fish gave background information about the wastewater treatment facility beginning with 2011 until the present time.

Billesbach went over legal documents and information pertinent to the wastewater treatment facility.

Billesbach reported that USDA is the Village’s best funding option.  The Village is now looking at a controlled discharge lagoon system that would cover 3 to 4 acres.  This option would keep the cost to consumers at the lowest per month rate.  The citizens attending the meeting wanted to make sure that the Village payment for the USDA loan was not set on the assumption of 120 paid users of the facility in case the population of Brownville decreased in the coming years.

Billesbach presented the Board with an agreement with JEO Engineering firm to provide the professional services to prepare an amendment to the Wastewater Treatment Facility Plan that was completed in 2011.  Sailors moved that the Village sign the agreement with JEO for professional services to prepare an amendment to the Wastewater Treatment Facility Plan that was completed in 2011.  Fish seconded.  All yes votes.  Motion carried.

It was the feeling of the attendees that a way should be investigated to insure that water-only users also pay for the sewer.  Another proposal was to install individual meters to measure the use of water and sewer use and bill each household accordingly.

The Village is looking at using smoke testing of the current system.  

The Village may conduct an income survey of the residents.  The survey would help the Village establish if a grant would be available.

Adjournment:

Fish moved and Tallmon seconded that the meeting be adjourned.  All yes votes.  Motion carried.  Adjournment at 8:00pm.
