VANDERBURGH COUNTY

DRAINAGE BOARD

APRIL 24, 2007

The Vanderburgh County Drainage Board met in session this 24^th day of April, 2007 at 4:22 p.m. in room 301 of the Civic Center Complex with President Bill Nix presiding.

President Nix: I would like to start the Vanderburgh County Drainage Board meeting, Tuesday, April 24, 2007 at, it looks like about 4:22.

President Nix: Do we have minutes from the previous meeting?

Madelyn Grayson: Yes, we do.

Commissioner Musgrave: I’ll make a motion to approve the minutes.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Mr. Jeffers, good afternoon, sir.

Bill Jeffers: Good afternoon. Our first item of business is Chadwick Estates. The reason it comes before you, it’s a revised plat. They have rearranged the lots for a more economical layout. Chadwick Estates is in blue, it’s adjacent to Chadwick Place, which remains the same. It’s located on Peck Road, a half, or about a quarter to a half mile north of Old State Road. It’s the preliminary drainage plan, the approval of which will allow the plat to move forward to Area Plan Commission the first Thursday of May. Or, possibly the second Thursday of May, I’m not exactly sure. I think it’s the 9^th. Anyhow, the County Surveyor has reviewed the drainage plan, the developer and his engineer are both in the audience should there be any questions. I do not know if there’s any remonstrators. The plan previously went through preliminary and final approval with some remonstrators, but, as I said, this is a revised plat that basically just rearranges the lots. The plan, done by Morley and Associates, is found to be in compliance with the Vanderburgh County Drainage Code, and the County Surveyor recommends approval.

Commissioner Musgrave: Mr. Surveyor, just for the point of clarification, May 10^th, a Thursday, at 4:00 is when Area Plan will meet.

Bill Jeffers: Thank you.

President Nix: Thank you. Is there anyone here that would wish to address Chadwick Estates revised plat, preliminary drainage plan? Any questions from the board? I’ll entertain a motion.

Commissioner Tornatta: So moved.

Commissioner Musgrave: I’ll second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

Commissioner Nix: Thank you.

Bill Jeffers: Our only other item of business, unless there’s public comment, or questions from the board is to pay the claims for some consulting fees that are due on drain studies and evaluations. This brings us to roughly between 25 percent on some studies and 75 percent on others towards completion. We are currently negotiating with all of the consultants to bring everything to completion, and give us a prioritized list of projects, and a schedule of how to fit those into our annual assessment budget. Those claims are on your desk up here, and the County Surveyor recommends payment of the claims.

Commissioner Musgrave: Motion to approve payment of claims.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Is there any public comment?

President Nix: Any other business?

Commissioner Musgrave: Commissioner Nix, I failed to bring up the letter that I would like to write to City Clerk Matlock–

President Nix: For the parking?

Commissioner Musgrave: –for the parking meters at the Old Courthouse. If it’s alright with you, I’ll just go ahead and send that letter over my own signature and report back to you at the Commission meeting next week.

President Nix: Do we need a motion on that?

Commissioner Tornatta: I make a motion.

Commissioner Musgrave: I’ll second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

Commissioner Musgrave: I’ll make a motion to adjourn.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.
