Convened Public Hearing on the
proposal to attach a portion of
Johnson County to the Poweshlek
Water Association Rural Water
District at 5:20 p.m.
Poweshiek Water Association repre-
sentatives Clint Van Zee, Sally Lovig,
and Brunt Earley spoke for the propos-
al to attach a portion of Johnson
County to the Poweshiek Water
Association Rural Water District. Van
Zee explained the rural water district is
a public body that functions similar to a
co-op. Any rural water customer is a
voting member and there is a 9-mem-
ber board to govern the Association.
Van Zee said the district has existed
for well over 20 years. He said con-
struction costs are primarily funded by
US Department of Agriculture, Rural
Development, which was formerly the
Farm Home Administration. Those
construction costs are paid for and
retired by water revenue bonds.
Van Zee noted a petition for the
attachment had been filed with the
Board of Supervisors from at least
30% of the owners of property within
the proposed expansion of the service
area, an area primarily in Monroe
Township, west of Plum Creek and
north of the Iowa River. He added that
this service would enhance fire protec-
tion by providing water for fire trucks,
Legals
though not at the volumes available in
cities. Lovig said they are looking at
construction in Iowa and Johnson
Counties, provided that the attachment
is approved. Construction would start
in late summer or early fall if the man-
dated easements are acquired and the
archeological and environmental sur-
veys are completed.
Stutsman asked if this is voluntary.
Lovig said yes, although they may
seek easements on properties choos-
ing not to hook on, to reach other resi-
dents. Stutsman asked if residents
can sign up later. Lovig said yes, but it
is more costly. Stutsman asked if the
9-member board is geographically
spread. Lovig said, yes, at this point.
Lehman asked about hookups for live-
stock water. Lovig said additional
hookups for agricultural use may be
made at a reduced rate. Lehman
asked about water supply. Lovig and
Van Zee said the Association's water
comes from 11 alluvial wells near
Tama, and they are also now purchas-
ing water from the City of Cedar
Rapids. Harney asked who maintains
the water lines. Lovig said they main-
tain them up to the meter pit at which
point it is the homeowner's responsibil-
ity. Harney asked what happens when
there is a break in a main water line.
Lovig and Van Zee said they have
interconnects with the City of Grinnell
and also with the Central Iowa Water
Association to allow possible pur-
chase. Lovig said within their own sys-
tem they can shut valves to part of it
and reroute water to continue service.
Lehman asked if they excavate or
bore. Earley said they trench and
bore, depending on the line and geo-
graphical location.
No one from the public was present
to speak for or against the proposal.
Assistant County Attorney Andy
Chappell suggested the Board wait a
week to vote, in order to review a reso-
lution presented by Van Zee. Chappell
said there is language in the resolution
as to the Board's responsibility after
the public hearing, to determine
whether adding the area to the
Poweshiek Water Association Rural
Water District is reasonably necessary
for the public health, convenience, and
comfort, and may benefit fire protec-
tion of the residents. If that is the case,
they may approve the, attachment.
Chappell said people were allowed to
submit comments in writing up until the
time of the public hearing. No com-
ments were submitted.
Public Hearing closed at 5:38 p.m.
Motion by Thompson, second by
Stutsman, to terminate the agreement
with Environmental Excess to remove
and dispose of deer killed on Johnson
County Secondary Roads, for the peri-
od from January 1, 2003 through
December 31, 2003 and to award the
contract to Reasonable Rates. Roll
cail: aye: Stutsman, Harney, Lehman,
Thompson; nay: Neuzil.
Motion by Stutsman, second by
Lehman, to approve and authorize the
Chairperson to sign contracts with the
following Mental
Health/Developmental Disabilities
Services Provider Agencies: The ARC
of Johnson County, Goodwill
Industries, Mayor's Youth Employment
Program, Mid-Eastern Iowa
Community Mental Health Center, and
Systems Unlimited.
Motion by Thompson, second by
Neuzill to approve and authorize the
Chairperson to send Jill Wenger a let-
ter of appreciation and certificate for
serving on the Johnson County
integrated Roadside Vegetation
Management Committee.
Convened Public Hearing on FY
2003 budget amendment at 5:52 p.m.
Budget Coordinator Jeff Home pre-
sented the proposed Fiscal Year 2003
budget amendments.
Thompson asked for explanation on
why the Sheriff needs an amendment.
County Sheriff Bob Carpenter said he
doesn't have the money in his budget
to take care of any excess costs over
$370,000 for jail alternatives and may
need the money at the end of the year.
Neuzil said he agrees with Carpenter
filing a budget amendment now
because the Board doesn't anticipate
doing more than one budget amend-
ment this year. Thompson said she
was thinking that the Sheriff could use
money from vacant staff positions.
Carpenter said he intends on hiring
and has 6 months of funds for one offi-
cer and 10 months of funds for anoth-
er. Carpenter said he doesn't have the
money and doesn't have any other
place to cut other than wages.
