Update on Electrical Usage and Generation at Lift Station and Wind Turbines: Jerry spoke with Mike Ziereis, load should be between 40 and 45 amps and Mike has found 70. The heaters are running off a single phase and should have been switched to 480 when plant was updated. This will be discussed with Scott Schram. An 11-amp load is shown when both turbines are not running. Jerry is continuing to work with Scott and Northern Power. Discussion/Decision Progress on Arbuckle Floral Lateral: should be done in the next few weeks. Employees will help them cap the sewer and locate the lateral with the GPS. Cheese Factory Grease Trap: see operators report above Water Rate Increase: Kayla presents paperwork provided by PSC for water rate increase. The numbers as a whole will increase by 35% but individual classifications are increasing by varying amounts. A public hearing must be set to allow public input before changes are made. Dave feels another month to study paperwork and give a chance for this to go to the village board would be wise. Kayla will set up public hearing after the next utility and board meetings. New Business Comminuter Update: bolts were replaced and cleaned up and it seems to be working normally again. Dwayne was quoted for 5 hours estimated time needed and hauling the waste themselves. Dwayne suggests to call Veolia truck for pumping since it will cheaper than bringing their own, Dwayne will move ahead. eCMAR Review: tabled until next time Items for the Next Agenda Meeting scheduled for 6pm April 12th Jim motioned to adjourn at 7:31p.m., Keith seconded, motion carried unanimously.
