Thursday, October 4, 2007 by Board President Mr. Gary A. Gilot, with Board Members Carl P.

Mr. Brent Hussung, Environmental Services; stated the purchasing of the radio telemetry

Engineering, informed Mr. Hussung the advertisement needed to state "subject to
common wage determination in November".
- Request to Advertise for the Receipt of Bids -Blackthorn Lift Station Force Main Valve
Replacement -Project No. 107-082
Mr. Inks questioned whether TIF funding was considered for this project, which is now
funded by 2007 Wastewater Capital. Mr. Inks stated the need for this work was not
directly related to Waste Water, and Airport TIF would be the more appropriate source of
funding. Mr. Gilot stated he would be in favor of TIF funding.
- Award Quotation - Voorde and Carbonmill Conduit Installation -Project No. 107-081
Mr. Gilot noted the quotes received were about $600.00 different. Although Robert
Henry Corporation was the low bidder, they stated they might not have the equipment for
a month. Mr. Gilot stated if they could not get the installation done immediately, they
' should be considered anon-responsive quote, and Trans Tech Electric should be awarded
the quote, as timeliness is a consideration in awarding the quote.
- Project Completion Affidavit -Michigan Street Repairs -Project No. 107-075
Mr. Inks noted a correction to the funding source. The agenda lists the funding as General
Fund, and it should read Downtown TIF.

requesting the Boazd accept the donation of a three-foot panoramic photograph of Stanley
Coveleski and his entire Cleveland Indians baseball team, on behalf of Coveleski
Stadium. The photograph is a donation from Mr. John Peddycord. Mr. Littrell questioned
