Wastewater Plant On City Agenda
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
The Warsaw City Council will meet tomorrow in a meeting changed from the regular third Monday of the month.
The proposed wastewater treatment plant is on the agenda and updates will be given by project engineers from Jones and Henry and financial consultants from H.R. Umbaugh and Associates when the council convenes at 7 p.m.
Preliminary engineering plans have been forwarded by Jones and Henry to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management for review.
IDEM's study of the plans is not expected to be complete until December or January. The bidding process will begin then.
An Umbaugh representative will also discuss an increase in sewage residential rates from $14.50 to $15.65 per month.
The construction site is located in the northwestern part of the city limits, near the Tippecanoe River south of U.S. 30, and already designated an economic development area or TIF district.
Project costs were given as $14 million (more or less) in February. A separate collection system will cost another $3.5 million.
There will be a public hearing regarding the Gatke property, located off Argonne Road. The buildings and grounds, a tax sale item for a number of years, has undergone a second phase of environmental study.
City planner Jeff Noffsinger will inform the board about a Brownfield Pilot Program with federal funding available through the Indiana Department of Commerce.
Warsaw has been selected as one of 32 communities eligible to apply for the clean up monies.
The council will be asked to approve a resolution committing $50,000 in matching funds to rehabilitate the Gatke property, if the city's application is approved.
Also before the board:
• An ordinance to increase individual lot prices 25 percent in Oakwood Cemetery will be heard for the second and final time. The council approved a first reading of the legislation in June.
Currently Warsaw residents pay $200 for lots and non residents pay $300. New fees would be $250 for residents and $350 for non residents. Rates for other lots and most services will increase accordingly.
City council members are Mayor Ernie Wiggins, Jerry Patterson, Trish Brown, George Clemens, Jeff Grose, Bill Rhoades, Charlie Smith and Joe Thallemer. [[In-content Ad]]
