SEWER ISSUES - Excerpt of December 18 2007 Minutes of Commissioner Meeting

SEWER ISSUES Excerpt from Minutes of December 18, 2007 Dearborn County Commissioners Meeting

This is essentially a transcript of the “tape” of the meeting. Commissioners have not yet approved these minutes. No corrections have been made to any spelling etc in this transcript. Some areas are highlighted for those wishing a “quick read.”

Meeting Date: December 18, 2007

The Dearborn County Board of Commissioners met In the Admin. Bldg., 215•B West High Street, 3rd Floor - Commissioners Room. Lawrenceburg, IN on December 18, 2007 starting at 6:33 pm. Present Jeff Hughes, President, Rick Fox and Ralph Thompson, Commissioners, Bryan Messmore, Administrator, Robert Ewbank, County Attorney and Cary Pickens, Auditor.
Jeff Hughes, President opened the meeting with the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.

7:18:20 pm - Tom Hammond, citizen spoke about the following subjects .
St. Leon sewer

Commissioners letter to DCRSD from the Apr. 17, 2007 meeting

Mr. Hammond explained he represented a coalition of families in the county called CASE. (Citizens Against Sewer Enforcement.) They are a community group willing to dedicate their time & energy necessary to defeat the imposition of forced sewer connections in Dearborn County.

Tom Hammond wanted to talk about the letter from the Commissioners to the sewer district from the April 17th, 2007 meeting.

Bob Ewbank, Co. Atty. stated that the first thing Mr. Hammond would have to fight on the issue was the municipal law - not county law. In terms of the two statutes there, it is where the city runs out a municipal sewer on 300 feet of the property line that also had a jurisdictional limit of ten mile. This was not an issue for the County; it would be an issue for the State legislature if Mr. Hammond wanted it changed.

(At this time, Tom Hammond asked Mr. Ewbank if he could stop him there because he wanted to say something & Mr. Ewbank told him - "No, let me finish. Then Tom Hammond said, "Excuse me, but you stopped me. Rick Fox, Commissioner exp1ained that Bob Ewbank wanted to give the legal side of the issue. Tom Hammond replied that he wanted to stop him before he went any further.)

Tom Hammond said that they were not present discussing that municipal law nor the county law.

Bob Ewbank stated it was prefatory information and if Mr. Hammond would listen - maybe he wou1d get his answer.

Mr. Ewbank said that #2 -the regional district also had a provision for a 300 ft. property line tap in. Along with that it had a unique provision for septic tank soil absorption where there was actually an exemption if they had a new system and a unique provision to spread the expenses over 20 years. Lastly, there is a the county ordinance. It has effectively been repealed by the creation of the regional sewer district. If the regional sewer district had a sewer system out where he lived, he would fall under the provinces of that law. Right now he was Mr. Ewbank explained that right now he was falling under the provinces of municipal law.

Tom Hammond said he appreciated Mr. Ewbank's effort but it did not answer his question. He explained the reason he was speaking before the Board of Commissioners was that the Commissioners made a statement unanimously on Apr. 17, 2007 that they were not in favor of any forced sewer hookups. Tom wondered where the letter was that officially made the statement of how the County Commissioners saw the Issue. The growth in the county has stopped & he thought that it was just one reason for the stoppage because the county had not made the letter official.

Bob Ewbank asked Mr. Hammond if he wanted to change the law.

Tom Hammond answered, no he wanted Mr. Ewbank to take the paper & simply sign it.

Mr. Ewbank could not see what good it would do because, they did not have jurisdiction.
Tom Hammond said it was mentioned at a commission before that a precedent would be set with the issue & he wanted to make sure that the precedent gets set. The statement from the Citizens Against Sewer Enforcement read that they didn't endorse sewer hookups.

Mr. Ewbank stressed that the County Commissioners did not have the jurisdiction to speak about that issue; the Commissioners did not have that power. If he wanted to deal with that issue, he would have to deal with the State legislature.


Tom Hammond asked about the citizens who lived in the county that were under the threat of the sewer hookups. Weren't they entitled to a statement?
(Tom Hammond told Mr. Ewbank he was not talking to him; he was talking to the Commissioners.)

Mr. Ewbank told Mr. Hammond for the second time that he was asking the Commissioners to do something that they did not have the jurisdiction to do.

Mr. Hammond told the Commissioners that the people would like to see them make a statement of what they stood for and what they represent.

Rick Fox said that Tom Hammond was making it sound like the County Commissioners could fix the issue for him. Mr, Ewbank is talking from the legal side of the issue.

Mr. Hammond said that the board was leaning on Mr. Ewbank & his law firm and he supercedes them.

RickFox added that Mr. Ewbank was there to tell the board what they should know or what they don't .

Tom Hammond said this was not a court of law. He was simply asking for their endorsement.


Mr. Ewbank emphasized that he was asking for a legal opinion that was outside his jurisdiction.

Tom Hammond said he came to simply asked the Commissioners about the letter and
Mr. Ewbank (the Co. Atty) juggernauted into the legal issues.

Mr. Ewbank stated that they do not juggernaut into legal issues. They are a government of laws. The County Commissioners cannot change it. Mr. Ewbank commented that if the Commissioners could change it, they would probab1y change it.

Tom Hammond said since it was a public hearing maybe it was time for the Commissioners to come forward with their position on the issue.

Mr. Ewbank explained that the Board of Commissioners could give their individual opinions but collectively as Commissioners they cannot change the State law.
Rick Fox thought they had given their individual opinions and he did not believe in forced hookups.

Jeff Hughes, President said he liked the county ordinance whereas the people did not have to hook on if they had a functioning system. President Hughes added that he could not change State law.

Rick Fox stressed that there were minutes of all the public meetings for the record.

Mr. Ewbank reiterated for the third time that Tom Hammond was asking for a legal opinion from the Commissioners as a body for something that is outside their realm. There is no problem with the Commissioners giving their individual opinions on the issue. The law they are dealing with is a state law and if Mr. Hammond wants that law changed he must go to the State legislature & get it changed. Mr. Ewbank said the first thing he would change would be the 300 foot requirement.


Tom Hammond said they were working as a group & 2008 would mark their third year on their resistance. The resistance was creating a lot of the non growth.

Mr. Ewbank did not think that anyone disagreed with Mr. Hammond's position. The problem was he had a State law that was a municipal one - not a county one. The Board of Commissioners cannot change the State law.

Tom Hammond said simply that their problem would become the county's problem.
It has been three years their group has been together & three years that St. Leon had not received from 118 Individuals ($4,000 hookup) they could have had in their coffers. They could have had three years of user fees. With issues like that &. the county is saying they cannot do something & their group is still together, they will then get regional coverage, television and newspapers.

Rick Fox adamantly said that the board could not fix his problem.

Bob Ewbank gave an example of how the problem could be fixed. He mentioned the High Ridge Estates. The former Board of Commissioners & the Commissioners serving today are still in support of rescuing the subdivision called High Ridge. The people living there were threatened into leaving their homes because of the sewers. The County Sewer District was formed; they called it string-beans geographically. Mr. Ewbank stated he thought the sewer district needed to be extended because of health problems - where the septic systems there do not work. For those individuals that would fall under the statutes of the county ordinance they would get relief for the very same that Tom Hammond is requesting. The down side is the State legislature has passed a law that if they extend their sewer work where they are allowed to go out ten miles & have forced hookups. The State gave the county the power to do the sewer district to fray the expenses & to go to a procedure. Mr. Ewbank stated again that the Commissioners were not against Mr. Hammond nor was the County Attorney. The County Atty. even sympathized with his situation but he in turn was asking the board to do something that they have no control over. If there was a county sewer district where Mr. Hammond lives he would full under the provinces of the county ordinance; he would not fall under St Leon's ordinance.

Mr. Ewbank understood his other issue too. Since Mr. Hammond did not live in St. Leon why should he have to fall under their guidance? However,the State legislature created the law that wanted to extend their ordinances to have an economy of scale to have the people to tap into.

Mr. Hammond said the eyes of the world will come down on the county.

Bob Ewbank said that each of them will come to his court hearing & testify that they think it is a bad law and then they will say to him that the problem is that it is a law that legislates the change - not the Commissioners. He further explained that the judge will not sit and listen to the non relevant evidence; he will listen to the material evidence & focus on the issue, The issue being: Should those people who are within a 10 mile radius of that municipality have to force intothe system.

Tom Hammond brought up House Bill 1671. Their group has been working the ordinance issue and the law issue. As everyone knows, that many laws until they are challenged the people don't know whether they are good laws or not. House Bill 1671 is in the legislature & states that regional water, sewage and solid wastes districts prohibits regional sewage districts from requiring the owner of a property to connect to the district sewage system if the property is already connected to a sewer system approved by the state.

Mr. Ewbank suggested the following to Mr. Hammond:
Since he lived 10 miles within St. Leon, he needed to get that law changed on the 10 mile limitation.
Forced hookups - If Mr. Ewbank was in charge, he would not require the forced hookups. He thought it was a bad law.
The bottom line on the legal issue was - where was that letter.
Lastly, Mr. Ewbank said he was the attorney for the county that expressed the opinion on good legal grounds that the Dearborn County Commissioners can do nothing about that law. If Mr. Hammond wanted the County Commissioners to testify, they would testify. If he wanted the Commissioners individual opinions against forced hookups. the Commissioners are against forced hookups.


Jeff Hughes, President said when the regional sewer district was formed the Commissioners did not have the authority but the Commissioners did give the authority about everything that wasn't already under new municipal jurisdiction. If they want to increase the ten mile capacity from St. Leon, they have already been awarded that certain area. The regional district would have to work with that situation.

Conflict of Interest - Mr. Hammond stated his second issue was a conflict of interest issue surrounding the County Regional Sewer District. A big developer sits on the, sewer board and when he was appointed ....

Mr. Ewbank said that he was attacking the developer's character. If the Commissioners didn't want the developer on the sewer district. they can remove him.

Mr. Hammond attended a county council meeting recently & the developer was lobbying for expansion money and the developer has a business that would be a direct recipient of where the infrastructure went. It seemed like a conflict.

Jeff Hughes explained thet he would listen to his comments but the meetings should stay in the boundaries where business is conducted

Mr. Hammond said the board had the power that they could at least look into - what about the power of an individual sitting on the regional sewer district and he is not hooked up to sewers .

Mr. Ewbank stressed to Mr. Hammond that if he felt that a developer had done something wrong and engaged in some moral turpitude, then he must go to the Prosecutor. The county attorney did not think he had any grounds to go to the Prosecutor. In fact, he thought that Mr. Hammond was slandering the developer which was unfair. Mr. Ewbank added that Mr. Hammond had gone way beyond coming before the Commissioners to speak. If he came to the meeting to complain, then he should complain. But he should not go about attacking things that had nothing to do with the issue he presented.

Tom Hammond said he was complaining & asking the Commissioners to take notice. (He did net think he was slanderous.)

Mr. Ewbank asked Mr. Hammond to state specifically what the developer's moral turpitude was. What did the developer do that would be criminal in nature where it was a conflict of interest.

Mr. Hammond stated that the developer asked for County Council to present a favorable letter for 2.3 million dollars for the expansion of the St. Leon Sewer District.


Mr. Ewbank said that may have been the case but that was not moral turpitude. The developer was benefiting a lot of citizens up in that area with the people in the High Ridge Estates that needed sewers.

Mr. Hammond said that was the next conflict because the developer sits on the sewer board and the developer wasn't connected. In other areas of the county if someone wanted to get on the Advisory Board, they won't be able to because they aren't connected.

Mr. Ewbank said again Mr. Hammond was just - politicking. He was attacking an individual citizen.

Tom Hammond said he was saying the exact same thing that other citizens that have appeared before the board when they asked for the board's help.

Mr. Ewbank stated he did not. like the way Mr. Hammond was slandering people.
Mr. Hammond replied that he was not slandering anybody.


(At this time, Jeff Hughes told everyone to settle down and called the meeting back to order.)

Jeff Hughes, President said that Tom Hammond had a couple of questions.
1. The first was addressed because he was asking about the letter and the Co. Atty. told him that the board could give their individual opinions or go to court. All of the members on the Board of Commissioners have stated they do not agree with the forced sewer hookups. If the citizen has a functioning system that was not causing a health issue, then Mr. Hughes was in agreement.

2. Why did the municipalities have the right to go outside their incorporation? Mr, Hughes could not tell him why the State allowed that because he was not a State legislator. Did he think it was right? The Dearborn County Regional Sewer District now works with those (in other words anything they are not certified to have by the state then they have to go thru the county because of the regional county sewer district).

President Hughes did think that the High Ridge Estates was a problem.

Tom Hammond explained that one of the reasons he came before the board was to say that something just did not pass the smell test.

Conflict or Interest: Tom wanted to know why in one sewer district could people sit on a sewer board & be appointed & not be connected to the sewer board. Yet ten miles away when it might be convenient for a citizens to help solve some of their problems & some of the issues- that individual cannot sit on that sewer board. This is no only the same state but it is the same county, There is a conflict.

Mr. Hammond stressed they were no going away because they cannot go away. They have got a hook inside of them that is called a legal lawsuit; they cannot get away from it The only other thing their group could do is set there & take it or become a coalition of concerned citizens & bring attention the issue. It soils the reputation of Dearborn County & any companies wanting to come in &. settle here.

(At this time, Tom Hammond told Mr. Ewbank to keep in mind that there was freedom of speech.

Mr Bob Ewbank gave Tom Hammond a warning to be careful on what he said because anything he said could be held against him.)

Ewbank, Fox and Hughes brought the crooked dcrsd into existence using the ruse of fixing High Ridge Estates.

With little or no input from the public.

Put together by development interests for development interests.

They had a chance to excercise their influence by not re-appointing Ensweiler and Pruss.

They re-appointed Ensweiler and Pruss.

Has Ewbank, Fox or Hughes publicly put any pressure on the dcrsd to fix High Ridge and to stop all the attempts of its board members to line their own pockets?

No.

Only one republican candidate ran against these forced hookups.

Ralph Thompson.

What did Ewbank, Fox and Hughes do?

They supported the development democrat.

The dcrsd board has proven incapable of fixing High Ridge.

They have proven the ability to spend a lot of our money and time in the pursuit of their own personal projects.

Ewbank, Fox and Hughes are complicit in this mess.

The future cost of these sewers that do not flush when the power fails have not even begun to be discussed.

The public health aspects of entire regions on such sewers that do not work when the power fails is absolutely mind boggling.

Throw Ewbank, Fox and Hughes out of office.

Bob and the twins will continue to trip over each other giving aid and comfort to crooked developers as they force the rest of us to subsidize their development. They tried to tell us this was all about the public health. How many millions of gallons of raw sewage has High Ridge dumped into Hogan's creek since the formation of the DCRSD? The DCRSD has become a rogue board, only pursuing the interests of its board members.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, Rick and Jeff reappoint Ensweiler after he has an emotional melt down in front of the county council when they would not give him money for Maxwell's development in St. Leon.

Because, God forbid, the county council wanted the dcrsd refocus back to why the dcrsd was formed, fixing High Ridge Estates.

Rick and Jeff are Maxwell's lackeys.

Nothing more.

Anonymous said...

High Ridge's sewage is still slipping and sliding down the hill to Hogans.

Maxwell is still not hooked onto the sewer running past his front door.

The DCRSD is still trying to get millions of our tax dollars, earmarked for development, not fixing High Ridge.

First, our septic systems were in such disrepair that the DCRSD had to force us on their sewers.

Now, apparently, our septic systems are ok, they just want us to pay availability fees (no need to hook on) so we still pay our fair shair of a few crooked developments' sewers.

Ewbank, is as transparent as they come.

Thompson was the only commissioner to show up to support those St. Leon residents against forced hookups and lawsuits at the Lawrenceburg council meeting.

Not that Ewbank and Morris give a rat's ass about the republican primary voter.

And we will make sure to remind the republican primary voters of the republican party leadership's contempt of the rank and file primary voter.

I think Mr Ewbank is correct that the commissionsers have a moral problem with one or two of the dcrsd's BOD members. It's not a legal issue therefore the issue need not be addressed by Mr Ewbank; it needs to be addressed promply by the Dearborn County commissioners.

turpitude \TUR-puh-tood; -tyood\, noun:
1. Inherent baseness or vileness of principle, words, or actions; depravity.
2. A base act.

In the eyes of the far left, it [the 60s] is the era when revolution was at hand, only to be betrayed by the feebleness of the faithful and the trickery of the enemy; to the radical right, an era of subversion and moral turpitude.
-- Arthur Marwick, The Sixties: Cultural Revolution in Britain, France, Italy, and the United States, c.1958-c.1974

They based their action on a clause in the uniform player contract which says players must "conform to standards of good citizenship and good moral character" and disallows "engaging in acts of moral turpitude."
-- Ira Berkow, "Go Ahead, Choke the Boss -- Only in the N.B.A.", New York Times, March 5, 1998

They were not his misdeeds, his turpitudes; she accused him of nothing--that is, of but one thing, which was not a crime.

How would some Maxwell brown noser respond to a legitimate question concerning the public health crisis that would occur if entire regions of this county were on sewers that do not work during similar power outages?


Storms sounded worse than they were

BY JENNIFER BAKER


High winds overnight toppled several trees and power lines overnight, knocking out power to thousands, but no major damage or injuries were reported, according to emergency communication dispatchers across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

A wind advisory was in effect this morning but was cancelled by 6 a.m. because the winds are decreasing, said meteorologist Scott Hickman with the National Weather Service in Wilmington.

Winds currently are blowing at about 15 to 25 miles per hour.




Would they label the question:


ARGUMENTATIVE?

SLANDER?

POLITIKING?

AD HOMINEM?


ALL THE ABOVE?

Bob and the twins as well as the DCRSD board run from questions concerning toilets that will not flush during major power outages!!!

Such talk is not good for business for a few of our more corrupt development interests in this county relying on pressurized sewers to get them out of the red!!!

Anonymous said...

Was that high wind last evening the product of the Bogey Man?

Don't think so.

So, why does the dcrsd not discuss, publicly, what their contingency plan is for such wide spread power outages?

Are they afraid to let the cat out of the bag that their sewers are going to get even more expensive for those they force onto them?

Hurry...hurry...rush...rush...hush...hush...force these piece sh#t sewers on the public before all facts come to light...

Then the people will have the Commissioners' office back, to begin once again to look out for the interests of all the people and not just Ewbank and friends.

High Ridge sewers could have been fixed a long time ago by contracting with Dillsboro, but the dcrsd board is holding it hostage until we sewer a board member's subdivision.

The sewer crisis at HVL is finally being focused upon after development interests have lost their attempt to take over the VRUC.

The only thing perpetuating our sewer crisis in this county are a handful of dishonest developers and politicians...

Someone already said, St. Leon's problems have to be taken care piecemeal.

But one thing we should not do is put any more money into St. Leon or force any more people on their substandard sewers.

But, of course, the dishonest among us want to continue to rush ahead with development before we have time to fix past problems.

Now Watson is begging for more dollars because they St. Leon is reaching its capacity limits.

Forcing all those people onto sewers they did not need ate up his capacity.

But of course St. Leon need the forced hook ups to finance Maxwell and Company's sewers in the first place.

The more honest folks take over our county public offices, the sooner we can begin to defund this madness out of existence.
