B. Consider Settlement with LBL Development and BLB St. John
This settlement agreement is with the Lotton Entities concerning the development and annexation of The Gates East property and some of the commitments that were made in 2019. The case pending on appeal is the one the Sanitary District was specifically named as a defendant, which is why the Sanitary District has to approve this settlement agreement. It is necessary for the Sanitary District to take action tonight because the Town Council formally approved the settlement on February 24, 2021. The Sanitary District is a party to two separate interceptor agreements with BLB. The Sanitary District needs to take formal action to approve the settlement agreement and authorize the Town Council to take the necessary steps on its behalf to carry out the terms of that settlement. That would allow the Sanitary District to be dismissed from the lawsuit.

Since none of the Board members had gotten a copy of the Settlement Agreement, the board will schedule a special meeting on Tuesday, March 23rd, after all members review the document.

REPORTS AND CORRESPONDENCE

None was had.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES:

No minutes to approve.

NEW BUSINESS:

A. Consider Settlement with LBL Development and BLB St. John
Mr. Kmetz was not comfortable with paragraphs two and five regarding which manufacturer and supplier the Town chooses for hardy board and smart siding.

Ms. Sims-Smierciak stated that a lot of the items in the settlement would fall under a homeowner’s association covenant agreement.

Mr. Westland responded regarding building requirements and restrictions. Because this is going to be a PUD, there’s really not an issue with regard to precedential value with other developments. In every PUD, there’s a give and take between the developer and the Town as far as what the building requirements are.

Ms. Sims-Smierciak wanted clarification about the time mandate for the bike trail. She would like the document cleaned up a bit because too much is open for speculation.

There were no more questions or comments.

Mr. Setlak made a motion to approve the Settlement with LBL Development and BLB St John. There was no second, so the motion was denied.

Ms. Sims-Smierciak made a motion to table this discussion until the next meeting and a possible change in verbiage to an actual date in Item #16. Ms. Krull seconded. The motion carried by a roll-call vote of 3-1 and 1 abstention.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES:

Ms. Sims-Smierciak made a motion to approve the September 21, 2021 regular meeting minutes. Mr. Setlak seconded the motion. The motion carried by a unanimous vote of 4-0. Mr. Gembala abstained.

NEW BUSINESS/OLD BUSINESS

All board members received a copy of the 2022 Sanitary District Proposed Budget that the Town Council will be adopting at their next meeting. Mr. Salatas mentioned that there is an increase of just shy of $50,000 to the Sanitary District’s Budget.

Mr. Salatas stated that the Town will be petitioning for the Excess Growth Levy. It would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $10,000 if we get approved by the State. The Excess Growth Levy is because the Town is growing much faster than the surrounding communities. We are allowed to apply for the Excess Growth Levy to help try and keep up with that growth. Because our property taxes are capped at 1% for residential, we are trying to use every tool available that the State will allow to provide the best services possible to the community. The $10,000 is included in the budget increase.

REPORTS AND CORRESPONDENCE:

Mr. Salatas stated that the State continues to hit our utility lines as they go down US 41. All repairs have been made. Mr. Pondinas stated that we need to get our attorney on the bills the Town paid for because the State did not pay.

Mr. Dravet stated that the water side of the SCADA System is progressing well. We will be starting the sanitation side in the spring. We are going to try and implement variable frequency drives (VFDs) in the lift stations. This will help with our electric costs. Currently most of the lift stations do not have variable frequency drives. Lift Station No.1 does have VFDs; however, it does not have bypasses. So if one of the VFDs dies, that pump is out of service until it is repaired or replaced. The Town is getting proposals on how to add bypasses to VFDs so that if a drive fails, it will go back to the old style of on/off. As part of the variable frequency drive program, NIPSCO has a rebate program. More research is still needed to make sure everything is compatible with the generators and pumps.
