News Items - May 11, 2009

1. W EUCLID: The court hearing took nearly two full days. The attorneys have until June 1 to get summaries to the judge and the judge will render a ruling within about 60 days after that.

2. I&I: We encountered a problem with timely notification of a resident regarding a positive I&I test. A visual was performed last June and due to weather and camera malfunctions the water test was not performed until October 22. The current policy was to notify property owners when the entire neighborhood was inspected so this homeowner was not notified and they listed their home for sale.

Supt Dan Miers is changing the policy to notify owner within 2 weeks of the water test that will eliminate this issue in the future.

3. CLERK’S OFFICE SOFTWARE: Laurie Hebl, Diana Bowlin and the staff have interviewed three software companies and are down to two that meet our spec. A recommendation will be brought to council in June. $150,000 has been budgeted to replace the current 13-year old software.

4. CITIZEN SURVEY: The bi-annual survey was sent to 740 homes on April 24th. Thus far 200 have been received. The responses will be collected thru May 15th and results will be presented to council in June or July.
