The regular monthly meeting of the Buckeye Water District Board of Trustees was held at Village Hall this past Thursday morning. Except for Jack Call & Dave Lloyd all trustees were present. Also in attendance was District Manager Al DeAnglis & Attorney Fred Emmerling.
Minutes of the previous meeting were approved as read. There was no Public Comment. The Board went in to Executive Session for approximately 30 minutes to discuss pending litigation.
A motion was made and approved to accept a $2.8 million grant from the Ohio EPA for planning, designing and construction of the Salineville water line. Total cost of the project is estimated at $3.4 million. Steps were taken by the Board to secure the matching share for the grant on behalf of the Village of Salineville.
A motion was also made and approved to accept an Ohio Public Works Commission grant for $80,000 to repair the slippage of the one million gallon Route 45 tank. DeAngelis remarked that is 49% of the estimated cost for that repair project. The ground around the water storage tank is beginning to slip.
The Engineering Committee reported that the OEPA has approved the final close-out on the new raw water pumping station and treatment plant. Everything is good to go. There is still litigation on-going with the construction of the water line for the new facilities. They expect to be ready to put bids out for Phase I of the Salineville project in July. Also they are doing an evaluation of a back-up water storage tank for Elkton. In the Treasurer's Report it was announced they are putting the reserve amounts into a Star Account for better interest rates.
Next regularly schedule meeting is June 18, 9:00 A.M., at Wellsville Village Hall.
