Quarterly content wastewater surcharge for Airport.
This is for the Bod’s and suspended solids.  They have always gotten a bill for this.

Quarterly flow wastewater surcharge for Airport.
This bill was created at the last meeting to charge by the flow meter.  The airport has televised the entire system.  They found a 180’ section of pipe that was seeping and leaking and a 190’ section that was leaking.  They will slip seal those and there is one broken T-joint that needs to be dug up and replaced.  They were estimating 15-18,000 gallons per day seeping into the system.

The extra costs for the quarter were $9,805.14.  Mark Strobel made a motion to approve the bill.    Tom Becher seconded the motion and it was carried.

Superintendent’s report.
On the Ebben/Kelly property, they replaced the drain tile rather than repair it.  The found a spot where it was removed completely.  They laid in about 800’ of new tile.  The north side of road is done.  They are still working on south side.  They are looking for where the tiles were disturbed and then can repair or replace them.  They are not sure if this is all from the interceptor project.  We have not had bad winters with much rain or thawing to notice it before.  The tiles may have been disturbed when the telephone was installed years ago.  The Inspector on the interceptor job should have seen pieces of the tile and known something was wrong but the inspector may have not been in on this part.  There are sometimes are maps when tile is laid.  Some things are shown and some are not. 

Adjourn Sanitary District meeting.
Tom Becher made a motion to adjourn the Sanitary District meeting.  Mark Strobel seconded the motion and it was carried and adjourned at 6:55 p.m.

Public hearing - Proposed ordinance for illicit discharge and connection ordinance.
The meeting was called t order at 6:56 p.m.

This applies to all water and discharges entering waters of the State and Town such as dry weather discharges coming from a sump pump, a drainage ditch, etc.  The ditch is generally running only when it is raining out.    Some discharges are OK during dry weather such as flushing of hydrants, sump pumps but not water from a washer.  Watering a lawn is ok as is individual residential car washing provided it does not become a problem.  Group car washing becomes more problematic.  Using soap to clean all the vehicles enters the drain ditches.  It could be done where it will enter a sewer system for cleaning.  This is State wide not just Greenville.  We need to educate groups on illicit connections.  They may have been allowable in the past but that does not matter.  It needs to be repaired.  Things such as garage floor drains that drain into a ditch fall into this category.  Watercourse – prevents people from piling things along creeks and streams such as when it overflows its banks.  The Town can go on private property and inspect and sample.  The Town can require the property owner to use best management practices such as a containment structure.   

Dean would like to add the fees to the fee schedule and take out 13.5 and in put in there to see the fee schedule. 

Mark Strobel made a motion to close the public hearing.  Tom Becher seconded the motion and it was carried and closed at 7:17 p.m.

Shall the Stormwater Utility Commissioners approve the above ordinance?
Tom Becher made a motion to take the fee section out and add to the fee schedule and approve. Andy Peters seconded the motion and it was carried.

Adoption of fee schedule for Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program.
They used the WI DNR to develop the fee schedule for commercial and divided by 10 for the homeowner part.   It can always be changed.  

Tom Becher made a motion to approve.  Andy Peters seconded the motion and it was carried.

Monthly report on erosion control.
The Board would like to have Dale update them on the 8 violations.  If they are not taken care of, he should put stop work order on. 

Tom Becher made a motion to approve.  Andy Peters seconded the motion and it was carried.

Public Works Supervisor stormwater report - accept.
Update – the new GIS person has started.  She is going over the equipment and software for the position.  We need the supporting software and equipment but that was budgeted for.  Jennifer is doing research for what we will need.  She is looking at a data collector for $5,000 plus software for a total of $8,000.  It is well under what we budgeted for. 

Tom Becher made a motion to accept the report.  Mark Strobel seconded the motion and it was carried.

Andy Peters made a motion to adjourn the Stormwater Utility meeting.  Mark Strobel seconded the motion and it was carried and adjourned at 7:29 p.m.
