WATER REPORT:
None.
WATER COMMITTEE:
There will be new contracts signed and returned to the Town Hall
for each and every one of the water customers. This includes
the customers on contract out of the water district. Water committee will review
water laws and report to Town Board:
Our committee has revised and discussed the current fees the Water District charges.
The fee for installing a water meter and hooking up to the town water service has not
changed since the District’s inception. The charge for turning on or off the service has
also stayed the same.
The customer is currently only paying $60.00 for a hookup and $5.00 for shut off or turn
on of the water service. [the prices arrived at when the Water District was
established.].
We feel these charges are outdated and need to be addressed. The expense to the town has
grown and fee should better reflect the cost.
In the Genoa-King Ferry Water District the cost to the district for a Typical
Residential Water Hook-up includes the following.
Meter-$100.00, reducing valve-$60.00, ¼’ turn shutoffs-$10.00and 1 hour labor-$20.00.
This totals $190.00.
The cost of the ¾” copper pipe varies with the length to the residence and is always paid
by
the customer.
Sometimes additional pipeline attachments and work are needed to locate a ¾” hook-up on
the
water main. This would include. Brass-saddle-$150.00, corp stop-$30.00, curb stop-$30.00
curb box w/stem-$25.00and labor-2hrs [$40.00].
This total is @275.00 plus the residential costs above[$190.00] making the cost $465.00.
If a larger hook, 1”, hook-up is requested the cost would be about
$535.00.
If a pre formed Concrete Pit is necessary, They cost about
$400.00.
If an underground Road Crossing is necessary it costs about $1,500.00 with labor of 4
hrs.
[$80.00]
Our committee purposes that the Town Board changes the following fees for water
service:
An ON/OFF service should be $10.00 per
call.
A Typical Residential Water Hookup/Installation should be
$220.00
A Typical Residential Water Hookup/Installation PLUS additional pipeline attachments and
work
necessary to locate ¾” hook-up on the water main should be $500.00
A larger, 1”, Water Hookup/Installation [if approved] should be
$600.00
If a formed Concrete Pit is necessary, it must meet water service requirements and will
be an
additional customer expense, determined at the time of hookup. [Pits are required if
pipeline
is 100 ft. beyond water mainline.]
If a Road Crossing Installation or other labor/site work is necessary, it will also be an
additional customer expense determined at the time of hookup.
The cost of the ¾” copper or comparable polyvinyl pipe necessary to the residence from
the water
mainline will continue to be a customer expense.
Respectfully,
Genoa-King Ferry Water Committee

BUILDING AND GROUNDS:
Cheryl and Tina Turek chose the bushes for the front of the Town Hall.
Cheryl planted them last week end and they look wonderful. Thanks girls.
There will be a public meeting for the new repair and maintenance rates
for the water line. This will include turn off and turn on as well as
repairs and parts.
PROGRAMS AND GRANTS:
This was the second week of swim program. Everything is going very well.
We average about 90 participants between King Ferry and Genoa. The grant for
shelving in the repository room at the town hall has been approved for $3,406.00.
We applied for $5,000.00 so the town will make up balance. Lori will bring in the
original grant to the next meeting. The computer that the bookkeeper has will be
passed down to Brenda and we will be purchasing a new one for him.
CODE ENFORCEMENT:

David Bates, John Connors, Paul Geri, Tim Walters, John Connor, and Howard
Broughton.
Inspections:
Callear, Turek, Laurie’s Place, Brong, Warner, Folts, Brong, Turek, Conner, and

HIGHWAY REPORT:
Finished hauling crusher run stone for East Venice Road(2400 ton).
We fixed holes on Lane Road shoulders again. Ponding out from
the heavy farm equipment. We also cut shoulders and loaded them, on Lane and Weeks road.
Our new truck is back to Stadium IH and is waiting for its turn in the prep shop.
Should take delivery sometime next week. Still have to order sander and wing not ordered
because of high cost. Cold paved East Venice road, Venice, Ledyard and Moravia helped us
until completed. Been working on County Line Hill with the ditcher every chance I've got
free. We gained a lot of road surface, least till it gets flooded again. Town of Venice
helped us haul a good share of our chipping stone for road surfacing.

ASSESSORS REPORT:

OLD BUSINESS:
The Board made a motion to pay Michaels and Smolak, P.C. $3,000.00 for part of the bill.
The balance will be paid after the budget is prepared for 2005 and funds are appropriated
for it. Supervisor Underwood read part of the report from Michaels and Smolak, P.C. that
explained the amount of the
bill. Faced with the pending trial date and the numerous motions to dismiss that were
filed, plaintiff settled the case for the sum of $11,000.00 ($8,500.00 paid by the
insurance company for Douglas Staley $2,500.00 was payable by the town's insurance
carrier). On behalf of Mr. Pecher and Ms.
Burgman, individually, no contributions were made.
Funds for the Supervisors special meeting on July 26, 2004 will be transferred from Acct.
A7550.4 for $500.00. Butch spoke to Rick Woodhouse about moving polling place from Genoa
Fire House to Town Hall. Rick said the commissioners would like to keep it at the Fire
House because it has always
worked well. We will make a resolution at the July 29, 2004 meeting to move the polling
place
from King Ferry Fire House to The Genoa Town Hall.
