204 3/13/72 talk about the Jandric project, it was ridiculous to go the route we did. They will have 200 homes and we have a $5 million bill. He felt the question was how are you going to put in the sewer and who pays what. He asked why Glenn should throw a Metro Sewer bill against the Village if it isn't necessary, especially when it doubles the bill of the year before. Mr. Marier and Mr. Gotwald discussed the Metro interceptor and progress so far. Mr. Gotwald stated that perhaps the new Council members don't realize that when the Metro says they are going to do something they are committed. He gave the past history of the sewer plans for the Jandric project, and noted that the work on the interceptor should not be labeled a feasibility study but a pre- liminary engineering study. Mr. Marier asked Glenn if he could get financing on wells and septic systems. Glenn said that he could but it would not be so good; and then in one or two years time, the people will demand sewer and the Village will have to rebuild the streets to put it in. He noted this is silly when you have sewerdown the road one mile. Glenn felt the line will go to Centerville even if Jandric wasn't there. There wads more disctuussion. Mr. Cardinal movedt hatoit 3ssthe village's intent that Glenn Rehbein put in his own sewer and water in the Shenandoah Plat according to Village specifica- tions, if he gets Metro Sewer Board approval, and subject to the following stipulations: 1. That Glenn take care of all liabilities so the Village will not be responsible, in that his company would obtain an endorsement on insur- ance and a save- harmless agreement. 2. That the work be inspected by our Engineer for workmanship. 3. That Glenn pay all legal fees and any other expenses that will be billed back to him as contractor. 4. That he continue to pump the sewage at his own expense until the inter- ceptor is hooked up; it will be his responsibility to dispose of sewage. 5. That lien waivers would be provided for materials and labor. 6. That he obtain clearance with the Metro Sewer Board. 7. That he provide a bond in the amount of 1 1/2 times the estimated cost of construction of the roads. 8. That he turn over the sewer ancl water systems for $1. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Mr. Gotwald said that he doesn't feel that a private individual can pump sewage, but that MSB will stipulate arrangements. Glenn said that he has turned in a bid on the road construction to Mr. Gotwald. Mr. Gotwald said he will write a letter to the Council and submit his bid with it. Mr. Locher stated that the bond is to be posted within 30 days of the Metro Sewer Board approval. Vote on the motion was unanimously in favor. Mr. Marier had attended a meeting of Senate and House committee on March 9th regarding airports. George Pencock had stated that if MAC and the Metro Council don't agree on a site before December, the Legislature will have to act. This would be done in July or August, and property taken by the following December. He had been told that MSB has sufficient capacity for 30 years of development. Ralph L'Allier noted that this has nothing to do with where development goes; they want to see this area saved for park. Glenn thought one could say that he is trying to keep the park out. Mr. Gotwald answered questions on the Marvin Rehbein bill and the Carley bill. He noted the following: about $45,000 was left on the lift station; Marvin will be within 5% of the original bid, maybe $4 -5000 over; the hydrant wrenches will belong to the Village; engineering costs were under the estimated costs; he will provide a breakdown on these at the end of the job. Mr. Cardinal stated that the wrenches included four hydrant wrenches and one valve -seat wrench.
