CITY OF CARLISLE  
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 

Tuesday, April 25, 2006, 7:00 P.M.
Avon Lake Club House


Officials present were: Council members Drew Merrifield, Doug Hammerand, Blair Dewey and Frank Shultz and City Administrator Neil Ruddy.  Mayor Ruth Randleman and Councilmember Eric Mahnke were absent.  Also present were Terry Lutz and Derick Anderson of McClure Engineering, Randy Campbell of USDA Rural Development and Public Works Superintendent Steve O’Braza. 

Mayor Pro-Tem Dewey called the meeting to order at 7:01 P.M.

Terry Lutz presented information on the Avon Lake sewer extension project.  The original funded amount was $1,350,000 with a monthly cost range of $35 to $40.  Current cost estimates are $2,150,000 for a gravity system with a monthly cost range of $50 to $54 and $1,600,000 for a combination low pressure and gravity system with a monthly cost range of $42 to $46.  Approximately 50% of the cost will be covered by the Rural Development and CDBG grants and 50% will be covered by the Rural Development loan.  Councilmember Mahnke arrived at 7:10 P.M.  The City will invest an additional $1,710,000 to oversize and extend the system to the northwest gateway areas.  The differences between a low-pressure sewer and a gravity sewer were explained.  Each home will have a grinder pump that will be maintained by the City and the cost of the hook-up to each home will be included in the project.  The low-pressure sewer is the preferred alternative because it can be constructed more easily in Avon Lake’s narrow rights of way and high water table and because it is less expensive.  Easements will be needed from each property owner.  All property owners will be invited to an easement discussion on May 2, 2006 at the Avon Lake clubhouse.  The anticipated bid date is mid-June to early July.  

The possibility of utilizing a similar financing package for a water system extension was discussed. 

Motion by Shultz to adjourn at 7:45 P.M.  Seconded by Dewey.  Roll call vote: Shultz – Aye, Dewey – Aye, Mahnke – Aye, Hammerand – Aye, Merrifield - Aye.  Motion carried by unanimous vote.
