ENGINEER BEINDORF COMMENTED THAT AN APPRAISAL OF BOTH SITES WILL BE NEEDED. HE FELT THE SAVINGS WILL BE FAIRLY EASY TO COMPUTE SINCE THEY HAVE A LUMP SUM FIGURE ON THE LINES, AND THE NEW LOCATION WOULD CUT OUT ABOUT 80% OF IT. HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WOULD COST TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY OR WHETHER THERE WOULD BE ADDITIONAL COSTS INVOLVED IN USING THE 4O ACRE SITE AS OPPOSED TO THE ONE ON KING'S HIGHWAY3BUT FELT THEY COULD SUPPLY THE DESIRED INFORMATION BY THE NEXT MEETING, COMMISSIONER LYONS WAS OF THE OPINION THAT, BECAUSE OF THE PUBLIC OPINION THAT HAS BEEN STIRRED UP, WE WOULD BE BETTER OFF NOT TO LOCATE THE PLANT AT THE PRESENT SITE ON KINGS HIGHWAY. HE NOTED THAT, IN ADDITION, A SAVING SHOULD RESULT FROM.BEING CLOSER TO THE LIFT STATIONfAND IT SEEMS THAT WE CAN GET ADDITIONAL ACREAGE AT THE ALTERNATE SITE. ENGINEER BEINDORF AGREED THAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT A 4O ACRE TRACT AS OPPOSED TO A 20 ACRE SITE, AND HE FELT THE ALTERNATE SITE WOULD BE MORE RECEPTIVE TO RECEIVING SEWAGE AS TO PERCOLATION. THE ADMINISTRATOR FELT THERE WOULD BE AT LEAST A MILE LESS OF FORCE MAIN REQUIRED WITH THE ALTERNATE LOCATION. HE STATED THAT THEY WISHED TO PRESENT THIS TO THE BOARD AND THEN GET AUTHORITY TO APPROACH THE OWNER AND GET APPRAISALS. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT FELT WE NEED TO KNOW THE COSTS RELATIVE TO THE ONE SITE AS OPPOSED TO THE OTHER FIRST. COMMISSIONER LYONS EXPRESSED INTEREST IN KNOWING HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO PUMP THROUGH A MILE OF TRANSMISSION LINE, AND ENGINEER BEINDORF NOTED THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE LESS POWER TO PUMP A LESSER DISTANCE. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT FELT THAT LAND IN THIS COUNTY IS STILL A RELATIVELY CHEAP COMMODITY,AND HE BELIEVED WE SHOULD LOOK AT IT IN TERMS OF FUTURE NEEDS AND GET A LARGER AMOUNT NOW. HE ASKED IF IT WOULD BE AGREEABLE TO THE BOARD TO DESIGNATE THE LOCATIONS AS ALTERNATE 1 AND ALTERNATE 2 AND GET THE RELATED COSTS. THE BOARD AGREED. -73- , mo 43. -p Ai ct,5`ll5
