Administrator’s 

Report 

 

 

Mayor Glenn reported the Baptist Road Interchange project will have bids going out on the 27th and the selection and award process should be completed so construction can start by the first of November.  The Board recognized the Mayors hard work over the past 2 ½ years in getting this project funded and underway.

 

Jim Kendrick stated that Yard Sale Signs have become a major issue in some neighborhoods.  The Town is allowing the Signs to be up from Friday through Sunday only.

 

Ms. Cathy Green, Town Manager, Staff Members from the Town and proceeded to report on the results of the estimating an O&M Budget from the Town for administering Triview.  The bottom line appears to be an estimated savings of $441,000 up to at least $600,000 for the first year (2009).  

 

The Town plans to bring three of the Triview Staff on board, not including Mrs. Hill or Mr. Simpson.  The same holds true for the Attorney for the District, the Engineer and the Inspector.  The Town intends to establish a separate account for revenues and expenditures involving Triview.  The Town will track time and costs related to providing services for Triview.

 

It will provide Operational Management and utilize existing Town procedures for implementing plans and programs.  Detailed decisions will be made by the Town through these procedures.  The Board consensus is to proceed with detailing the methods and process required to implement the program. It was recognized by all of the participants that a lot of details need to be specified.

The Mayor reminded everyone that Triview and the Town are one and the same.  

 

Mrs. Hill reported that in the packet there is the statement of revenues and expenses through the end of June.  The revenues reflect only 11 permits so far this year.  The Quarterly Payment to Donala for operations of the WWTF was made this month.

 

Mrs. Hill informed the Board that Triview’s current Assessed Value is $54,246,570.  The matter of locking-in the interest rates on the ’03 and ’06 Bonds was discussed and the Board wants to examine that approach.

 

It was moved by Steve Cox, seconded by Robert Fisher and unanimously acted upon by the Board to approve invoices, vouchers and the check warrant report as presented.

Mr. Koger from Nolte reported that WWTF effort is focusing on instrumentation and we still have an end-of-the-year target date.  Weaver has pulled off the WTPB Project until they return in October and tie it in by early November.  Nolte and Triview are looking at clarifying the policy on water and sewer service line responsibilities and will be prepared to discuss the matter at the next Board Meeting.

 

 

Mr. Susemihl reported that he had nothing to bring to the Board at this time.

 

 

 

Mr. Simpson reported that Well A-8 is tied into the System.  The A-4 and Vault will be completed within the next three weeks.  On A-8, it was noted that there were resident concerns on the drainage and vegetation.  Mr. Simpson then described the program that will be implemented to address the issues.

 

There was a discussion on responsibilities on Sidewalks.  Mr. Simpson stated that the Sidewalks in the residential areas are not a Triview responsibility.  The Curb and Gutter are on the District.  The Public Sidewalks the District constructed along Lyons Tail and Leather Chaps are Triview’s responsibility.
