•Klee Street Letter:
Mr. Carlisle informed the committee that Klee Street, a street of 6 homes total located in Dawn Heights, does not currently have a sewer line servicing these homes. There is a sewer interceptor on nearby Wabash Avenue that is large enough to service. Mr. Carlisle explained the St. Clair County Health Department guidelines that homes currently on septic or aeration systems are required to tap into city sewer after their current systems fail. Mr. Carlisle further explained that installing a city sewer line on Klee Street is not in the current fiscal budget, but the other option to homeowners is to install a private lift station and that is costly. Discussion was held. Mr. Dintelman suggested surveying the other homeowners on Klee Street to determine if they also have a desire to tap into the city sewer system, as the Crownovers have expressed. Mrs. Stiehl is the alderman of that ward and stated she would report back to the committee at the August meeting, after speaking to the other homeowners, to discuss the best resolution for all.
•Treasurer's Report
None
•Committee Members, Old Business, New Business, Discussion, Questions:
