OLD BUSINESS:
The MDEQ permit has been issued and received by the village for the Lake Shore Drive watermain project; Merritt Engineering is sending the project out for bid.
The Grand Beach contract amendment is still on hold; upgrades need to be made to the pump house prior to entering into an agreement to provide increased capacity.
NEW BUSINESS:
Mick Wulff requested a hydrant be added at Stop 40 during the watermain project to help with fire suppression.
Steve Millick said Michiana Shores is looking into certifying their hydrants. Reitz suggested certifying, numbering, and showing the hydrants on a map. Millick also stated that Michiana Shores had ceased pursuing state funding for watermain upgrades due to the bond expense being around 25% of the overall cost, which exceeds the funds available.
ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting was adjourned at 11:58 a.m. EST.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary Jo Nallenweg
Clerk
