DRAINAGE BOARD

FEBRUARY 7, 2006

The Vanderburgh County Drainage Board met in session this 7^th day of February, 2006 at 4:09 p.m. in room 301 of the Civic Center Complex with President Bill Nix presiding.

President Nix: I would like to call to order the drainage board, the Vanderburgh County Drainage Board meeting for Tuesday, February 7, 2006.

President Nix: I’ll entertain a motion to approve the minutes of the previous meeting.

Commissioner Musgrave: Are the minutes available to approve?

Madelyn Grayson: Yes, they are.

Commissioner Musgrave: So moved.

Commissioner Shetler: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Mr. Jeffers? Good afternoon.

Bill Jeffers: Good afternoon. The first item on your agenda is a drainage plan for Popeye’s Chicken. On the agenda I had the south half of lot two, but it’s actually the south half of lot 1, Burwell Minor Sub. It’s, they’ll locate their restaurant in this cross hatched area that they’re leasing from the owners of the entire subdivision. That’s a Thornton’s station here, Virginia Street, Burkhardt, Wal-Mart’s over here, and IHOP’s here, and Backyard Burger will be below, right in this lot here. So, that’s your location. The plan was presented by Easley Engineering. I’ve reviewed it, and recommend approval.

Commissioner Shetler: So moved.

Commissioner Musgrave: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

Commissioner Shetler: Did you buy a new bulb?

Bill Jeffers: $299.

Commissioner Shetler: That’s not bad. It was going to be like $800.

Bill Jeffers: It would have been $900 if it had been a different brand. The brand, our projector is a Dell, was $298. I think the Sony was $998 for the lamp. We got the right one, apparently. Your next plan is Midwest Automation, lot 16, Airport Industrial Park. This is Kansas Road down here, Hedden Road runs up diagonally, and, oh, wait, that’s Highway 57, I’m sorry.

Brenda Jeffers: I had them labeled. I don’t know what happened.

Bill Jeffers: This is Highway 57, and then Hedden Road runs parallel to that through the industrial park. This down here is Kansas. That’s presented by Hinderliter Construction, Chris Weil is the engineer. He’s here in the audience if there are any questions. It’s a simple drainage plan. I’ve reviewed it and recommend approval.

Commissioner Musgrave: So moved.

Commissioner Shetler: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

Bill Jeffers: You have Hargett Brothers up there, don’t you? Okay. I’m sorry, this is Midwest Automation, I guess.

President Nix: I was going to say, that was–

Bill Jeffers: Okay, and your last plan is Hargett Brothers. This also is from Chris Weil, the engineer here in the audience. It, this shows the old plant, which burnt down, they’re rebuilding up in this area. You’ve already approved the plan, it had an open ditch that ran from the parking lot back here, they’re creating a detention basin in this area before it discharges into Locust Creek. It had an open channel running from the parking lot back to the detention basin. It’s simply a modification to pipe the drainage through here, but it required quite a bit of elevation modification to accomplish that, so, I’m running it back through the board with a recommendation to approve.

Commissioner Musgrave: So moved.

Commissioner Shetler: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

Bill Jeffers: There’s no other drainage plans, and the only other item of business I’m asking for is guidance when you would like to resume the Schnaus petition hearing.

Commissioner Shetler: First, I would say ASAP. You know, given the proper legal notices that you have to give neighbors, but I think, I’m ready to roll.

Bill Jeffers: Madelyn and I could mail those out promptly. They go to five individuals, and we could have it at, let’s see, I will not be here the 21^st, I’ll be here the 14^th and the 28^th .

Commissioner Musgrave: You pick, the 14^th or the 28^th, whichever you–

Commissioner Shetler: Does the 14^th give you enough time?

Bill Jeffers: The 14^th would be better. The 28^th you get an annual report and all the specifications to bid.

Commissioner Musgrave: The 14^th?

President Nix: Is that a motion?

Commissioner Musgrave: So moved.

Commissioner Shetler: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

Bill Jeffers: Thank you.

Commissioner Musgrave: Motion to adjourn.

President Nix: Motion to adjourn.

Commissioner Shetler: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.
