Regular Council Meeting 6/21/93 Page Twelve ROLL CALL: AYES: None NAYS: All Motion Not Carried Bids Rejected • Selection of Appraiser for Evaluation of Whitehaven and Upper 40 Sites for Projected Detention Basin - Mayor Rinker said the Village has received substantial funding to do this project in conjunction with the Metroparks. They had hoped to be able to do this on the property of Village residents; the residents think that the Whitehaven Cemetery property should be considered. This was part of the URS study. We must get information as to the competing property owners' interests. Council does not need a motion. • Computer Equipment for Service Dept. -$4,500 - Mr. Ferrante, seconded by Mrs. Leppla, made a motion to authorize an expenditure not to exceed $4,500 for the purchase of computer equipment for the Service Department. ROLL CALL: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Expenditure Authorized , • Walnut/Thornapple Drainage - Motion to Approve an Expenditure of Approximatelv $7,000 ($4,000 labor; $3,000 pipe) - Mr. Lou Hovancsek said on two occasions they visited the site and evaluated the problems. There is a total of 13 affected properties. Mr. Lou Hovancsek said Village employees will provide the labor will be needed to place the pipe at the easterly end and to clean and deepen the ditch. The balance of the work will be done by the contractor. The approximate cost of the pipe is $2,000. Mr. (Steve) Hovancsek said the pipe to be used is a heavy duty plastic pipe (STR 35) so tree roots will not disrupt the sewer system. Mr. Fixler said he thinks a lot of these problems are coming from neglect over the years. He is concerned about the maintenance; he does not want to spend tax dollars then have to go back in (to do additional maintenance) in 5-10 years. Mr. Hovancsek said once the swale is established, the responsibility rests with the home owner; the only tiine the Village gets involved is when it does not flow.
