New reservoir
financing deferred
The Council agreed with Mayor Willis to defer the financing of the new reservoir until more definitive costs for the project are obtained (after construction bids are solicited, received, and reviewed).
The Ibwn Council did pass a resolution though to borrow up to $250,000 for the reservoir, after cost information has been obtained, at an interest rate not to exceed five percent, and a second resolution to require that the interest rate be reaffirmed after final negotiations.
Treasurer’s report
Treasurer Jerry Goebel reported on the Tbwn’s finances, noting consolidated assets of $731,460.12, up some $20,000 from that noted in August, and water works assets of $12,868.74 through the dose of the August reporting period.
Other activities
• Mayor Willis discussed the purchase of 0.91 acres of additional land at some $20,000 for the wastewater treatment system, as well as a boundary adjustment “to square things up” in the vicinity of the Washington School. After some Council and public discussions, the Council resolved to advertise the purchase and boundary adjustment for a public hearing at the October meeting.
• Mayor Willis said that the reservoir “preliminary to the final design” was sent to him on Sept. 11, and that the Council would review, comment upon, and return for final action.
• During the Public Forum Wendy Weinberg thanked “those who made the Ibwn a an attractive place,” and she induded the Ibwn government, The Inn, Sunnyside Farm Store, and George Washington.
• Diane Bruce noted that the “street talk” is that the Washington Fire Department has been drawing water for delivery to drought-besieged farmers in return for donations. If that is true, she added, she “wouldn't want to be paying for the Washington Fire Department’s use.”
