Council limits sign location (4/28/04)
Signs allowed on windows of Pyle Building
GENEVA — Political signs will not touch the site of this town's only poll on primary election day.
Geneva Town Council members decided Tuesday that political signs will not be placed on or inside the G.W. Pyle Building on Tuesday, May 4. The polling site was moved to the council room in the Pyle Building, from the town’s former town hall.
The council agreed that signs could be placed on the sidewalk in front of the building, located at 411 E. Line St., and in Memorial Park, on the west side of the building.
Before the decision was made Tuesday, town clerk-treasurer Doug Milligan told council members that the signs could legally be placed in the front windows if they approved the request.
"It was my idea that we keep (the building) as pristine as we could," Milligan said. Council members Mike Schwartz, Jim Timmons and Lew Wingler agreed with Milligan.
During an executive session following the special meeting, the council met with John Dufek and Vince Sommers of Clark Dietz Inc. of Indianapolis to discuss engineering problems that occurred during a disinfecting project at the town’s wastewater treatment plant.
The agenda for these meetings cited that the council was assembling to discuss strategy with respect to initiation of litigation.
Council members, Dufek and Sommers discussed the engineering error made and who will pay for the costs to correct the mistake. Council president Timmons said this morning, that Clark Dietz agreed to pay for the costs to correct the miscalculation on the equipment needed to handle the amount of flow at the plant.
“We left the meeting feeling very good (about the outcome),” Timmons said this morning, adding that Dufek and Sommers plan to report how much the corrections will cost at the council’s Tuesday, May 11 meeting.
The town formerly used chlorine to kill the bacteria in the water, then treated the water with another chemical to neutralize the chlorine. The plant now uses ultraviolet light to kill the bacteria instead of chemicals, town manager Steve Hampshire said this morning.
Also during Tuesday’s special meeting, council members approved the first reading of a sewer use ordinance.
This ordinance updates the town’s sewer use ordinance, which is required periodically by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
In other business, Milligan told the council that representatives of the Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana will be canvassing town residents.
He added that they are licensed to survey residents and have visited Geneva before.[[In-content Ad]]
