Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, November 19, 2012 <br />Page 2 <br />Mr. Christian replied, Mr. Excavator. <br />Mr. Metzung explained, that's the contractor working at the Library. They have to turn the water off <br />to lower the water lines. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, did they give us notice, Doug? <br />Mr. Cappello replied, we have been talking to them for a long time about the lowering. The first we <br />did hear that they sent out notices was this moming. They knocked on doors and for people who <br />were not home, they put the notice in their mailbox. Would we have preferred more than one day's <br />notice? Yes. They are giving themselves 10 hours in case of some issues. They feel they can do it <br />in less than 10, approximately a 6 hour period which the water might be shut down. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, do we have an idea of how many homes are involved? <br />Mr. Cappello replied, 6. Basically the homes between Hickory Hill and Metro Pazk on SOM. One <br />on the west side and one on the east side. <br />Mrs. Mills asked, do you laiow who the 6 are? Can we notify those people somehow to make sure <br />they recognize what is happening? <br />Mr. Cappello replied, at this.point right now at night - <br />Mrs. Mills stated, no, I am saying tomorrow morning first thing. . <br />Mr. Cappello replied, that would be late. <br />Council President Buckholtz suggested we go to the houses after the meeting. <br />Mr. Mazquardt asked, wha.t if somebody is gone? In my opinion this is totally unreasona.ble. They <br />should at least be given a week's notice that this is going to happen. Somebody could be on vacation. <br />They don't get the notice. This is totally unreasonable in my opinion. <br />Mr. Cappello stated, they have been working with Cleveland. Water to get this shut down set up. <br />This has been a long process. If you noticed that plate on SOM Center Road has been there for two <br />months plus, we have been pressing them to get this done. Last week we actually met with the <br />contractor. They were still waiting for parts to get shipped from Texas. It's a 16 inch water main that <br />needs to be shipped up here. <br />Council President Buckholtz does not think this should be allowed to happen until after the holida.y, <br />like Monday. Tomorrow's Tuesday. <br />Mr. Marrie lrnows they ha.ve been working on this for a long time, but for them to pop this at the last <br />minute is terrible.
