Seconded by Mr. Kulaszwicz. Motion declared passed. Mayor Karth gave a brief report on the acgions of the Police Advisory Board. The Board had discussed local coverage versus County coverage, and at their next meeting they will be talking to several Mayors who have County coverage. Mr. Donald Holzmeir had presented a variance request for obtaining a building permit for a garage while he still has an open permit on his house. Mayor Karth had talked with him before the meeting. Mr. Holzmeir had appeared at a Planning and Zoning Board metting and he had been told to submit his request ti the Council. After some dis- cussion, Mr. McLean moved to approve this second permit. Seconded by Mr. kulaszwicz. Motion declared passed. A request for buried cable from Northwestern Bell had been checked by Mr. Gotwald and recommended approval. Mr. McLean moved to approve this request. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszwicz. Motion declared passed. The Public Hearing for consideration of an amendment to Ordinance 53 dealing with the i.inspection ane pumping of on site septic systems was opened at 8:00 P.M. by Mayor Karth. Mayor Karth said due to the heavy agenda, discussion onthis subject would be limited to one hour. He asked that all persons speaking give their names and addresses. He told the aduience that Mr. Gotwald had done some research on the status of WPC -40 and had found that the plans for this document is passage in June of 1978. If this Ordinance amendment is passed, it would only be for an interim perios until the WPC -40 regulations are adopted. Mr. Gotwald said this documrnt was to have been passed in 1977, but due to the complexity of the rules and the many State wide hearings that were held, it has been delayed for one year. There was a question as to what is required in these rules for the pumping of septic systems. It wouldseem that the rules do not advocate any in- spection or pumping requirements to be set upby the communities. There is only one paragraph on the maintenance. It was felt to require yearly inspections conducted by local authorities was not feasible financially. There was a suggestion, that at the sale of a house, the system would then be inspected by the local authority in order to insure a proper working sytem for the buyer. There was also a suggestion of a card system, whereby the owner would inspect his own system and mail the card back to the City. McLean felt that with this set of rules and regulations becoming law in less than a month, it would be superfluous to pass this a- mendment. Mr. Glenn Rehbein asked the Council to tell the residents in at- tendance the reason why this amindment was being considered and what could happen if the WPC -40 rules and regulations are not passed.
