REGULAR MEETING <br />FEBRUAP.Y 14, 1977 <br />from the firm was attached •to: the resolution. The firm has been <br />considering alternatives for the past several months and have <br />looked into such projects with the City of Niles,;Benton Harbor <br />and South Bend. At the present time, the South Bend project <br />appears to be the most feasible. 11r.. Wells said the engineering <br />firm needs such a resolution to present to the Michigan Department <br />of Natural Resources. Mr. Brunner asked if a -contract would be <br />prepared and Mr. Wells said any contract would be negotiated <br />some time in the future and would come to the Board of Public <br />Works for approval. Mr. Brunner asked about.the capacity of the <br />Wastewater Treatment Plant and noted that any agreement would <br />have to stipulate that sewage would be accepted on the basis of <br />the treatment plant capacity availability. Mr. Wells said the <br />plant is currently operating at about fifty per cent capacity. <br />There was a discussion regarding Paragraph Three of the proposed <br />resolution and whether suggesting the possibility of lower <br />treatment rates might be misleading. It was the feeling of.the <br />Board that any additional customers night delay the next increase <br />in sewage rates but that the resolution should not indicate that <br />lower treatment rates would result. Mr. Brunner made a motion <br />that paragraph three of the resolution be struck. Mr. McMahon <br />seconded the motion and it carried. Mr. McMahon made a notion <br />that the letter from the Department of Public Works and from Williams <br />and Works Engineering be filed and that the resolution, as amended <br />be adopted. Mr. Brunner seconded the motion and it carried. <br />RESOLUTION NO. 4, 1977 <br />WHEREAS, the consulting firms making the facilities plan <br />studies for the Village of Edwardsburg and the <br />Townships of Ontwa, Mason, Calvin and Jefferson <br />in Cass County, Michigan have requested that the <br />City of South Bend consider taking sanitarn <br />sewage from the Village of.Edwardsburg andJthe <br />Townships of Ontwa, Mason, Calvin and Jefferson <br />into the City of South Bend's Wastewater Treatment. <br />Plant for treatment; and <br />WHEREAS, the City of South Bend's Wastewater Treatment Plant <br />has capacity to take the added loading; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Public Works <br />of the City of South Bend is receptive to the concept <br />of providing sewage treatment for the Village of <br />Edwardsbu:rg and the Townships of Ontwa, Mason, Calvin <br />and Jefferson in Cass County, Michigan. <br />ADOPTED THIS 14TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 1977. <br />BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />s/ Patrick 11.
