Motion by Guthrie, seconded by Lange, to allow the bills as presented. Ayes, all. Carried.
Supt. Melchert reported on the following items:
 The watertower was cleaned and inspected last week but was not power washed as part of the
process. The inside paint was found to be in good shape. This was noted to be the last
cleaning/inspection of the 10 year contract schedule with Watertower Paint and Repair
(Maguire Iron).
 Fransyl Repair reported that one of the rods ordered to repair the bucket truck was the wrong
part and needed to be reordered which will delay the completion of the repair by at least
another week.
 The new 2015 Chevrolet pickup has been delivered. It will be taken to Manchester this week to
have it undercoated and bedliner sprayed in.
 Footings have been poured for the switchgear enclosure. The rest of the concrete work is
scheduled to be completed this week to prepare for delivery of the unit July 29th or 30th. The
damaged cement block wall along First St sidewalk has been removed and a steel replacement
will be built once the switchgear unit is in place.
 The power outage Monday, July 13th, for the east part of town, was caused by a tree limb
rubbing on a wire along College St.
 It is on the schedule to operate the generator next week.
A discussion was held concerning the waterlines at the cemetery. Melchert informed the Board that the
line along the first north/south road has several splices in it and needs to be totally replaced. Also on
the agenda, is to repair the waterline to Memorial Park that was damaged when Alliant bored their new
July 14, 2015
line in. He discussed the possibility of having someone from Alliant here when the repair is made as
there are several high voltage lines in the area where work needs to be done.
DNR recently performed their annual inspection of our water system. Everything was found to be in
satisfactory condition as no deficiencies or recommendations were reported.
A brief discussion was held concerning safety equipment. The superintendent informed that Board that
general consensus is to fan rather than shore and he would prefer to fan any excavations than use
shoring equipment. Other equipment currently being used was reviewed.
Delinquent accounts were reviewed. Meeting adjourned at 7:32 pm.
