discussion followed on the type of copper to be used in the
connection from the service line to homes connectin7 to the water
system with the question concerning the meaning of "1" outside
diameter type K copper line" specified in the ?. water Ordinance •
It was the general consensus of opinion and the Council concurred
that 3/4" ID Type K copper tubing was the minimum type required.
Ir. Leyers, Village Attorney, was instructed to amend the ':rater
Ordinance to clarify the meaning of the type required within the
Ordinance.
Mr. Edmond, Village Electrical Inspector, reported to the
Council that a large number of Village residents have been doing
their own electrical work without requesting permits or inspection
of said work, Mayor Crane stated that an item concerning this would
be inserted in the legal newspaper informing residents that said
work without permits is illegal in accordance with Village ordinances.
Upon asking business from the floor, Mrs. Ralph Peterson asked
the Council when the street lights at Knoll and Lois Drives would
be replaced. Said lights were removed for the water construction
project on those streets. Other lights were also reported missing
at Red Oak and Hillview, County Road H2 and Hwy. 10, Hwy. 10 and
Groveland, and County Road H2 and Jackson. Mayor Crane stated that
the reason for said lights not having been re- installed after the
construction project was completed would be investigated and an
attempt would be made to rectify this situation.
Pair. Leroy Iarsolias appeared before the Council and said that
a drainage ditch is being constructed on His property and insofar
as ho knows, an easement for such ditch does not exist. Pr.
Marsolias was informed by the Council that the Engineer would in-
vestigate this and a further report would be made to the Council.
The subject of replacement of tar or street surfacing on
Jackson Drive at :iillview was brought to the attention of the
Council. The Engineer stated that this section was not included
in the original construction bid and that it appears that the
reconditioning of this street would be the responsibility of tho
Village instead of the contractor for the construction project con-
cerned. It was also stated that the contracting; firm of Sandstrom
�cafner would clean the streets after the service connections are
completed in the areas for which they contracted.
Pr. Malvin brought to the attention of the Council the question
of whether or not tho contract with the construction firms contain
a clause showing whether the contractor is held or is not held
responsible for re- sodding of boulevards. The Attorney was instruc-
ted to examine the contract of 2Crojects 1960-1 and 1960-2 to deter-
mine this question. P:r. Stole suggested that the individual resi-
dents pay for their own re- sodding of boulevards rather than on a
village wide basis, which would perhaps involve further assessments
for such re- sodding.
