DISCUSSION

1. Mooseheart Emergency Water Interconnection Agreement

This agreement would allow the Village to provide water service to Mooseheart in the case of an emergency situation. The Village will be considered a backup source. Mooseheart would be responsible for constructing the pipe to connect to the Village. They would also be responsible for the water quality. Public Works Director John Laskowski said that the Village’s engineering company has worked on this agreement and there is more than enough capacity to make it work. Trustee Gaffino asked if this will be a one-way system. Laskowski said yes. Gaffino asked if there will be something put in place to prevent backflow issues. Laskowski said yes. Mayor Berman said that this has been discussed in the past and the Village felt this was something that could be done in order to be helpful to Mooseheart in emergency situations. The Board agreed to move forward with the agreement.

ADJOURNMENT

Motion made by Trustee Carroll and seconded by Trustee Curtis to adjourn to Executive Session for discussion of land acquisition. All in favor. Motion approved.
