Good morning Jason,
The highlighted items could be completed while the tank remains in service. There is one active mixer that can be
installed while the tank remains in service but most require the tank to be removed to place the mixers in the bottom of
the tank.
The other scope of work requires the tank to be removed from service. If the highlighted repairs and upgrades are
separated from the larger project, the budget costs will likely increase. Also, if there is interest in completing a small
project ahead of the larger one in the future, I would recommend using a RFQ approach. There are only a few welding
contractors that bid on these types of smaller projects and 1 or 2 painting contractors that have their own welders on
staff. We have worked on many projects using a RFQif you are interested in pursuing this approach to complete the
safety and operational upgrades.
COSTSUMMARY:
Wet interior repaint $110,000
Caulk roof lap seams 3,000
Dry interior partial repaint 25,000

(7) If the provider with the highest number of access lines in this state is unable to provide the exact
number of linear feet for a determination under subsection (6), the provider shall no later than February 1,
2003 make a good faith estimate, in consultation with the staff of the authority, of the number of linear feet of
rights-of-way in which facilities owned by the provider are located in a metropolitan area and pay an annual
maintenance fee to the authority based upon the estimate.
(8) If an estimate of the linear feet is made under subsection (7), the statewide per access line per year cost

the consent of a municipality to provide and that is providing cable services within a metropolitan area is
subject to an annual maintenance fee of 1 cent per linear foot of public right—of—way occupied by the
provider's facilities within the metropolitan area. An affiliate of such a provider shall not pay any additional
fees to occupy or use the same facilities in public rights-of-way as initially constructed for and used by a cable
provider. The fee required under this subsection is in lieu of any other maintenance fee or other fee except for

provided under subsection (15), the commission shall issue its determination within 45 days from the date of
the application. Upon certification by the commission of the documentation provided in subdivisions (a) and
(b), a provider shall qualify for a credit equal to the costs paid under this act, less the amount of any credit
determined under section l3b(1) of 1905 PA 282, MCL 207. 13b, and shall not be subject to subsection (16) if
the provider ?les the following documentation under this subsection:
(a) Veri?cation of the costs paid by the provider under this act.
(b) Veri?cation that the provider's rates and charges for basic local exchange service, including revenues
from intrastate subscriber line or end-user line charges, do not exceed the commission's approved rates and

DPW Committee Meeting Minutes
September 14, 2023
5:30pm – Village Hall Council Meeting Room
Call meeting to Order: The meeting was called to order at 5:30pm.
Pledge of Allegiance.
A roll call was conducted. The following were present: Trustee Jeff Linton, Trustee Amanda Pfruender, and Trustee Shawn Burger.
Also present: Clerk/Treasurer Adrian Krawczynski and DPW Supervisor Jason Walters.
I. Old Business
a. Sidewalk Project & Village Sidewalks: Jason said that the CAD file was sent over for design, which is still taking place.
There is concern about one location of the sidewalk, but we won’t know anything until the design comes back for
review. Jason is going to create a map of the sidewalks within the Village and mark which ones are in most disrepair.
b. Garbage Truck Discussion: The garbage truck was discussed and it was the consensus of the Committee to sell the
garbage truck. Jason is going to obtain a professional quote of the estimated value and bring it to Council for further
review.
c. Work Orders: Work documentation was reviewed. This will be brought to Council for further review.
d. Water Tower/Dixon Engineering: Jason talked with Dixon Engineering and obtained a list of items that can be
completed while the tower is in service. The total costs of these items is approximately $49,000.00. Jason is going to
see of a possible timeline of when these items can be done to determine possible costs for the upcoming budget
year. This will be brought to Council for further review.
II. New Business
a. Culvert/Driveway & Lagoon Prep: Cadillac Culvert will take back the culvert. Jason talked with them and they will
waive the restock fee, so the return will be at 100%. Jason explained the issue with placing a culvert there, which is
because it is considered a trout stream that runs underneath. The Committee asked going forward to just
communicate more on issues like this.
b. UTV on Trunkline: The Committee discussed the issue of having the UTV run directly on the trunkline. This will be
brought to Council for further review.
c. Excavator Rental: There was discussion about renting an excavator for the hydrant repairs. Jason informed the
Committee that they tried to repair the leaking valves with just the backhoe but it wasn’t working so a mini
excavator was rented and the City of Clare came in with their vac truck, the backhoe was also utilized to make the
required repairs.
d. Upcoming Projects: Upcoming projects were discussed including the Mill Pond, Sidewalks, and Sewer. Jason
informed the Committee that dredging is expected to be done by October 4th.
e. GIS Co-Op: The Committee and Jason reviewed having this technology. It is an annual cost of $1608.08 but billed
quarterly. This would help with documenting work. This will be brought to Council for further review.
f. Bucket Truck Inspection: Jason informed the Council that the bucket truck was inspected, as required annually.
There were just a couple minor fixes.
III. DPW Updates:
a. Jason provided an update on the truck that is being refurbished. It is almost ready for paint.
IV. Complaints: There was discussion about residents that are placing their brush, yard clippings, etc. in the road or sidewalk.
Adrian will relay this information to Julie.
V. Adjournment: 6:07pm.
VI. Next Meeting: Wednesday, October 11, 2023 at 5:30pm.
