Treasurers Report - Tabled. 

Public Comment: Michael Wilson- from SR 1 on the sewage - brought his drawings for the layout an he wants to do 5 of these pump systems and grinders. 

Cline asked about the missing items from last time. 20218, 20288, 20108 are the 3 addresses that were included have already been approved as part of baseline field plan. 

Wilson has not established the 2 new addresses yet. He will get those from Planning and Zoning. He bought more land to accommodate the new areas he wants to sewer. Christy said that Meinders has Wilson on the list to do. Cline wanted to know what Wilson needed from DCRSD to take to Planning and Zoning. Stenger said that he’s checking with Kraus Jr. to see if he needs a sewer letter. Wilson wants to know the cost for the additional lots. Christy will have the costs on that soon.  Meinders said they have a tentative date of the first of January for grinder pumps to be delivered. Wilson just wants a plan to see the timeline for his projects. Meinders said he thinks he needs to negotiate with pump company to get the same cost on pumps. 

Cline asked about the lateral info left on Christy’s desk.

Nancy Kurre- asking about timelines. She’s on the Guilford SR1 and Washington Street also sewer. Checking on why they were stopped out there. Christy said they are getting tanks in the ground right now. Meinders said they will be doing some of the work- and there are others he can recommend for the plumbing. She can use him if she wants also.  

Project Updates: Christy presented:

Guilford- staked out lift station at Guilford park. Control building footers poured. Working on the tanks progressing until February.

Frank Kramer had a handout on the railroad regarding including water line with sewer line on their application. NO- they need another $5000 to submit it as a separate occupancy permit. Plus $1150 insurance. Meinders- One bore was done with 2 casings. Christy said she will submit drawings to show this for the permit.The insurance has expire this week so they are sending in for renewals. The work for this is already done- per Christy. There is a licensing and permitting section of the budget. Board approved the $5,000 fee for railroad for this. Also approved Christy to make the legal description for the easement and the 10x10 piece for the water meter for North Dearborn Water. Mr Fox will need to sign the survey for this easement. Cost is $4500 for the 10x10 land only. Meinders called Fox to ask. The board approved the $4500. DCRSD also pays the other fees. There will be a separate meter at the Guilford Park. 

DCRSD is only responsible for maintaining the main- not laterals.  

They will be discussing various fees for services and maintenances. Bittner will check out drawings on where maintenance responsibilities begin and end.

Meinders- Check valve to tank is homeowners responsibility. Warranty is a year- the poly pipe is tough. Leaks would be initial usually. The grinder tank and control panel are the usual warranty issues. There will be a new meter facility at Guilford Park. 

Still checking with Chaffee on sequestering part of the capacity on tanks. 

High Ridge WWTP expansion- estimate cost of $4-6 million- with alternatives etc. 

Asset Management Plan being worked on with hourly fees still. Christy has not had any communication with Steve Brock. Cline needs to have DCRSD re-engage with Brock to have him work directly with Christy.  

Dillsboro- Lake Dildear- Payment to Jeff Meinders for work at Lake Dildear. Needs to get Mike’s signature tomorrow. Will hold payment till Mike reviews. Inspector and she are OK with the work. Next meeting is Dec 4 and then maybe a Dec 18 meeting if they need to meet. Needs to get the fees in before Dec 4. Only paid for what they received from Chaffee. 

Building lift stations in December and finished in February- but they need to be done before we connect anything. The sampler is part of the internal operation of treatment plant.  

New Business: Doug Price has had 2 blowers go down at HighRidge. Two are working still. Actually going to need 4 ultimately as 2 are worn out. He will get estimate for this. Using used stuff to limp along. Approx. $1500-2000 each. Blower plus a motor needed. Board approved getting one replaced and the go figure out what 4 would cost.

Office Update: Need to review and update user agreements before signing up Guilford and Dildear users. Christy will give them a clear sketch of users responsibilities. Kelly to get them a copy of the current agreement to start looking for gaps and clarifications. 

Cline would also like to see costs fleshed out for future customers to figure out each piece so they have a ballpark estimate.They need to get RFP and supt. worked out. There are some numbers from the ARPA estimates they can see. Unit costs for installation changes of terrain is rougher though.

THIS IS THANKFUL MONTH

 

This Is the Thankful Month

by Mark Franke

reprinted with permission of Indiana Policy Review

Thanksgiving Day seems late this year and by the calendar it is. Contrast that with my general sense of time’s moving much too fast, especially as I am looking at leaves still on the trees and thinking in terms of mid-October. If I am not confused enough, I have four and one-half inches of snow in my back yard as I write this. 

One of the history lessons I most enjoyed in my grammar school days was that of the first Thanksgiving in America. I suspect the story I learned is part fact, part apocrypha, but the moral it taught was the important thing. Even in difficult times, we should give thanks for our blessings and be willing to share those with our neighbors. The deconstructionists will disagree with me, but I saw only good things in the story of the Pilgrim-Wampanoag celebratory feast. 

If it weren’t for that story, apocryphal or not, we wouldn’t enjoy the best feast of the year. Who around here would even think of eating things like turkey, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie if it weren’t for this story? Given our German heritage in this part of the state, we would probably be stuck with pork and sauerkraut, not that there is anything wrong with that but it just doesn’t work on Thanksgiving Day.

We are not thankful enough in America today probably because we have become a consumerist society focused on what we possess and always coveting more. “He who dies with the most toys, wins” is a bumper sticker meme but has anyone ever seen a funeral hearse pulling a U-Haul trailer?

I am being cynical but I was given a tangible illustration of Americans demonstrating their thankfulness for all our blessings. In this case it was young Americans, the children at the Lutheran school my church operates.

It was this year’s annual Veterans’ Day commemoration. The school makes a big deal of this, inviting veterans from the congregation as well as the children’s family members who served. The children respond enthusiastically, painting posters and rehearsing skits to perform for the veterans in attendance. The focus is thankfulness for our America’s freedoms and how they are made possible by the sacrifice of the nation’s armed forces. 

Two examples of this should suffice.

The seventh and eighth grade boys basketball team sang the national anthem to begin the program. They asked their teacher if they could do it. Think about it; middle school boys volunteering to sing before an audience of adults.

The Pledge of Allegiance was led by the preschoolers, including the three-year-olds. Since our school begins each day with the Pledge, they have been practicing it all year and they performed like troopers, pun intended.

This could have been a purely academic exercise for these school children, an opportunity to disrupt the normal school day grind. It wasn’t; they clearly were into it, as we used to say. 

One might think that the concept of military service is purely abstract for children this age. They are fortunate in that they have not experienced the suffering side of war growing up in the United States. I am not aware of any who have lost a family member due to war, although one school father has been deployed multiple times with the Air National Guard.

Yet somehow I sensed that there was an intuitive appreciation within the students that these veterans had done something important, something that directly benefited them as young citizens. The whole idea of serving others is hardly alien to them, being part of their religious instruction. 

On the way home from the school, I stopped by an American Legion post. I was lucky to find an open parking spot. In addition to all the cars, there were about a half dozen nursing-home vans there. I was glad to see these facilities bring their veteran residents to the American Legion for a complimentary Veterans’ Day lunch, but I was confronted by the cold fact that these are mostly Vietnam era veterans. In other words, veterans of my generation.

I should think less about my generation and more about that of my grandchildren and those schoolchildren I was with that morning. They have learned to be thankful for blessings received. And they don’t need lectures from their grandfathers that start with “When I was your age . . .”.

We Americans have a lot for which to be thankful: the freedom to think as we choose, speak as we choose, worship as we choose, vote as we choose. Few of us will focus on these blessings at our Thanksgiving Day dinner, pondering instead the material bounty we enjoy. 

Even so, November is a month for thankfulness with these two holidays as its appropriate bookends.

The room was filled tonight - approximately half were from Goose Run area requesting their road be fixed

Title VI Statement read as legally required

ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATIONS: 


COMMISSIONERS- $295,558-1236 EMS LIT- Various requests- this is all that is left from them $3 million LIT. They should keep 10-15% of balance in the fund per Baker Tilley recommendation. The state decided our LIT would be less in 2026. This should be a trend for the next 2-3 years. LIT comes in monthly.  

MOORES HILL FIRE & EMS-$208,932 Derek Stevens- Asking for assistance with a 2009 ambulance and want a remount. Did one before and using company in Indiana- Crossroads. They deliver a quality product. Looked at brand new ambulance option- did not fit their needs now. $314,711 for new . Remount is $208,932. There runs have improved now. 570 runs in previous year and now at 642 runs. Current ambulance is a 2015 with 60,000 miles on it. Lead time on remount is 18-24 months out. So 2027 when the payments is due. October 15 of 2025 is the quote. Some are 3-4 years out. This company is in northern Indiana. The 2015 is actively in service. Bright loaned them a squad previously when theirs was out for routine maintenance.

Glenn Wright asked about the ones sitting outside their building. It’s a 90’s one and it has run out its  service- They are trying to sell it for another use. The quote price is good for 2 days now. It is good even though it will take 2 years to get it completed.  

GREENDALE EMS- Ambulance-$256,167 - Tommy Craig Jr.- Andy Brookbank presented - he’s treasurer and EMT. Thanked them for support. Was all volunteer and are now paid part time. 625 responses last year and now over 700 calls year to date. 31 part-time personnel they can support now. Want support for a new ambulance. Had a 2001 and 2006 ambulance. $275,000 to replace the 2006. Now trying to replace the 2001 with a June 7, 2022. Deadline is April 29, 2026 Tom Craig said tariff issues are slowing this down. Ford, Chevy, and Dodge are the companies doing this. Now is $331,000. Fire is part of the city - EMS is separate. They do Gove them housing and equipment, and some utility reduction. They have money set aside and a grant from DC Community Foundation. These costs don’t include the equipment inside the ambulance.  Their good ambulance is 2024. Chassis last over 20 years as long as they are maintained. They have 20,000 miles on that 2024 ambulance. Even though they are close to St E Dearborn. 

LAWRENCEBURG FIRE DEPARTMENT- Ambulance-$ 349,000 Patrick Myers- just need $100,000 to put toward this. Not the whole 349,000. They have 3 ambulances and going down to 2. 2400 runs a year. The new ones they are looking and will get delivery Fall 2026. They are going to buy a stock truck and gas system not diesel. They have merged fire and EMS now. They get a lot of calls to nursing homes too.All staffed out of Tate St location. 

Liz Morris gave a recap of how they are able to fund since 2024 . Most is for staffing. Primary need was staffing per the Hanifen report. Time and training have made the volunteer situation a thing of the past. There is not a whole lot available for anything other than staffing, She said they are very aware of the needs and trying to distribute it fairly across the county. Response rates are improved- but the reality is that the fund gets about $3 million a year. Almost all of this is one staffing, 

Mark Dole thinks Moores Hill has greatest need and older ambulance. Morris said they could use it for them. Lansing thought it was for equipment. Glenn Wright asked what Dillsboro EMS situation was. Liz Morris said she had no idea. Tim Dole said they want to help you all - you have done a great job. 

Doll Motioned and Wright seconded to fund Moores Hill request for $208,932. That was the greatest  need of the 3 requests. Approved.

Baudendistel said the LIT income is $3.4 million and contracts are for $2.9 million.


CONSERVANCY DISTRICT- Grant request Conservancy District- Paul Seymour Jr.- said they are chasing the grant - most important since 1937. They are wanting to get the levee system certified.

We hope we end up getting your participation. The grant team can bring them in from east coast has availability at the end of December. He will be at Commissioners meeting December 18th with same request. Looking at $17 million total. He wants both entire boards and knows it has to be advertised.
