PROPOSED ACTION - SEWER CONSTRUCTION MATTERS
Mrs. Roberts read a letter from Mr. Urbanek. This letter was
dated August 21, 1975. Commissioner Clark commented on this
and then read from the Franchise Agreement after he was in-
formed that Mr. Urbanek has not yet posted the bond that was
due the Town some time ago. Mrs. Roberts then read a letter
from Thomas Delaney, dated August 19, 1975. Discussion
followed relative to the maintenance of the sewer system.
Mayor Gilday recognized Mr. Dent who spoke regarding the
responsibility of the Town for the maintenance of the sewer
system. Commissioner Clark, for the benefit of Mr. Dent,
read in full Section 1, Franchise Grant, dated October 7, 1969.
Mrs. Roberts stated her dissatisfaction with many items that
were uncompleted in the sewer system. Mr. Klinck replied to
her statements. Discussion followed. Commissioner Bauer expressed
his opinion relative to the maintenance of the sewer system.
Mr. Sliney noted that the matter of the new bond has been most
~ frustrating. Mayor Gilday asked Mr. Sliney for an opinion as
to whether or not the Town should notify the original bonding
company that the obligation under bhe bond has not been per-
formed.
Mayor Gilday asked Mr. Sliney to check on Section 11 and 13 of
the Sewer Franchise on the question of maintenance and responsi-
bility. Mrs. Roberts requested from Mr. Klinck a list of items
that have been completed so she in turn will be able to answer
Mr. Delaney's correspondence.
The Mayor suggested to the Commission that they go to item #4.
There were no objections.
PROPOSED DECISION - LAUDERDALE SUPPLIERS
Mr. Sliney reported on Pay Estimate #9 and its problems as to
the engineers certifying certain suppliers for payment. Mr.
Sliney recommended different methods of payment to the suppliers.
Mr. Sliney asked for some sort of authority from the Town Commission
to have Mr. Klinck and himself take care of paying to the extent
of the funds available therefor after it is resolved to whom the
funds should be paid. Mr. Klinck noted that this would take place
after the revised pay estimate was signed by Mr. Sapino.

Discussion followed pertaining to penalties. The Mayor noted
that the Town would be willing to forego the penalty from the
time that T~ebb went on the job, provided that Lauderdale
completes their work on AIA. Mr. Sliney stated that there
should be a reasonable time frame on this.
The Mayor asked Mr. Sliney to return to the Commission with a
concrete suggestion and he would call a special meeting or
perhaps that it would be more feasible to recess this meeting
to Friday, August 29, 1975 at 9:30 A.M. All the Commissioners
• were in full agreement.

DesMoines and a time limit that the Town Commission would be
