11)g) Discussion: City Auditorium/Village Office Updates
Discussion:
Steve of W Design talked with the board about the issues we are having with water in the basement. Explained that they would like to take one window well out on the south side of the building to assess the side of the structure. At the meeting the previous Tuesday, Kevin from OnPoint told those there that his company is not a water-proofing company. They would try their best to keep water out of the basement, but no guarantees. The board felt that it would be necessary going forward to take all precautions and have Thrasher Company come take a look at the building to make sure they are doing everything to keep water out.

12)a) Discussion-Approve/Deny: Cuprem possible Sewer Service at 18685 W 42ND ST.
Discussion:
Jeri Lyn Runions from Cuprem Inc came to discuss the possibility of putting Sewer out at the Cuprem building west of town on 42nd st. The building is within city limits and has also been billed for sewer for quite some time. Clerk Randall stated she would look into the wrongful charges. The board reviewed our ordinance 3-204 Sewer Contract stating the municipality, through the Municipal Sewer Department, shall furnish sewer services to persons within its corporate limits whose premises abut a street or alley in which a commercial main is now or may hereafter be laid. The board decided that it would be best to get our Street Engineer from Olssons involved in this to see what could be done.
