~~~ Attorney Tim Currens reported on a letter from Yvonne Thompson that was not hooked on to the sanitary sewer and had paid a bill for years, however, if we had known she was not hooked on the Town would have had her hook on. He said it was a question of who had knowledge whether or not she was really hooked on and why she would have been paying the minimum amount, because you do pay a certain amount for the sewer availability. Attorney Currens requested the council give him the ability to respond to the letter and kind of go from there and see what the law is. Councilman Clark asked if this was the lady that lived on North Indiana. Attorney Currens said yes. Attorney Currens said whether or not she never had a problem with her septic over that period of years he didn't know, he didn't know the answer to those questions. Councilman Bryant said, so we won't make a final decision until later. Attorney Currens said yes. Steve Klinger, Lions Club, presented a plaque to the Town for the appreciation for the dedication and assistance given to the Dunlop Southern Indiana Racing Association for the past two years. Councilman Warthen told the council he had quotes for a dump truck for the street department. He said he had been delaying Joe Beikman from getting quotes until some property taxes were received, but the truck had been budgeted for in 2003. Councilman Bryant asked how many years does a dump truck last. He said he knew there was a lot of stress on the motor when removing snow. Joe Beikman answered it depended on how much the truck was used, and the one they were replacing was a 1987. Councilman Mathis asked Joe how long it would take to get the truck. Joe Beikman said if they went with the one in stock, they were saying three to four weeks and if they don't go with the ~- - one in stock he would have to get another spreader to get thru the winter. If they go with the one in stock, the motor was bigger and it had several different things on it that was not on the original specs. Councilman Mathis said his only concern was he didn't want to put this off because it was getting close to the time it would be needed. Councilman Bryant said it sounded like Joe was happy with the less expensive one sitting on the lot. Councilman Clark said the one on the lot was $49,350.00, the more expensive one, and if they ordered it would take 6-8 weeks for delivery. Joe said the one in stack was more _ _ _. expensive than the one they could order, but it was still cheaper than the Sterling brand truck. Councilman Bryant asked Joe why he was talking about having to purchase another spreader if they didn't buy the truck. Joe said it would cost 4-5,000 dollars to repair the spreader they had and he was trying to get away from (Joe's voice did not come thru loud enough an the tape to understand) hooking it onto the v-box, was all I could get. Councilman Bryant asked if by going with Palmer on both quotes, would the maintenance all be done at the same place. Joe said yes. A motion was made by Councilman Clark, a second by Councilman Mathis to approve the quotes for $49,350.00 for a Kenworth Dump Truck from Palmer Trucks, and $30,523.00 for equipment from Palmer Fabricating. Motion carried 5-0. Animal Control officer, Mark Taylor, reported twenty-two (22) calls, nine (9) impounds, and eight (8) returned. Attorney Tim Currens presented a developer agreement from Holloway & Assoc. for offsite work on sanitary sewer lines at the Jamestown Estates. The agreement includes eight-inch PVC sewer main, four sanitary manholes, bore with casting, granular bedding, and backfill, testing, and restoration in the amount of $45,840.00. Councilman Warthen asked if this would help as far as servicing the church and other residences North. Joe Beikman said yes. A motion was made by Councilman Clark, a second by Councilman Mathis to approver the developer availability agreement. Motion carried 5-0. A motion was made by Councilman Clark, a second by Councilman Warthen to approve payment of the claims. Motion carried 5-0. There being no further business to come before the council at this time, a motion was made by Councilman Warthen, a second by Councilman Bryant to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried 5-0. The next meeting of the Mooresville Town Council will be held on Tuesday, November 1$, 2003, at 6:30 P. M. at the Mooresville Town Hall.
