e. Rescheduling of November 2010 meeting - The
Virginia Association of Counties Annual meeting
is being held from Sunday, November 7th through
Tuesday, November 9th. In order to allow Frank
Conner and I to attend the full conference, I
would like to ask the Board to consider
rescheduling the November PSA meeting to
Wednesday, November 10th or Tuesday, November
16th.
21
f. James Hardie Request for Waiver of
Penalty/Interest -  James Hardie is requesting
a waiver of 7,299.66 in penalty and interest
charges from July and August.  There had only
been one previous waiver of 446.40 for
Nove mber 5, 2009. The companys request is
based on their recognition of the payment
problem which resulted in termination of the
employee who was not paying the bills in a
timely manner. Previously, the company had
been assessed and paid penalty and interest
charges in October, 2009, and January and
February 2010. It is recommended that the
companys request be granted based on their
having addressed the issue and the amount of
their PSA billings (which have been 30,000 to
70,000 per month over the past year).
22
g. Dora Highway Drop Site Relocation As a
follow-up to the Honeywell property site visit
by the PSA Board, agreement with the Town of
Pulaskis proposal to replace the Dora Highway
with the Honeywell property is recom mended
following 1. Receipt and favorable review of
documents describing the environmental
condition of the site 2. A clean Phase 1
Environmental Report done by an independent
firm 3. A plan for addressing run-off from the
drop site property 4. Agreement by the Town
to pave and install loading ramps on the
property and 5. Donation of the property by
Honeywell to the Town.
23
h. Meter Tampering Fee The PSA billing staff
and I wanted to inform the PSA Board of the
application of a 100 meter tampering fee
related to Mr. A.V. Fiore turning his water back
on.
24
i. Commerce Park Utilities 1. Bid Results
Board members have been provided bid results
for the first of five bids for the Commerce
Park Utility Project resulting in an initial
overrun of 540,888.30 as well as the
engineers recommendation for an award by the
PSA. Board members have been provided a
meeting summary provides a plan for reducing
this overage pending the receipt of bids for
the remaining project components. While the
total overrun is covered by the existing
contingency, all other bids have to come in at
or below the engineers estimate for the
project to be
25
completed within budget. Also provided to
Board members was correspondence to Christy
Straight of the Planning District
Commission describing how an overrun would be
addressed should the remaining bids result
in higher than expected total project cost
as required by the funding agencies. In order
to avoid a repeat of this overrun on
remaining bids, I have asked Draper Aden to
examine all remaining cost estimates very
carefully and have been provided with a
budget for the overall project.
26
2. Resolutions/Documents Board members have
been provided the following items related to the
administration of the Rural Development loan for
the Commerce Park Utility project a. Audit
Agreement b. PSA Code of Conduct c. Loan
Resolution Also provided to Board members is
the letter of conditions describing the terms of
the proposed loan.
27
  • j. Dublin Area Sewer System
  • Sun Valley Apartments Connection Fees Mark
    Roop, manager of Sun Valley Apartments is
    requesting a reduction of the normal 500
    connection fee based on the connection of 18
    duplex units to the sewer system (total due of
    4,500 rather than 9,000). The PSA policy had
    been to provide a 50 reduction where 20 or more
    connections were being purchased in bulk. The
    request is recommended by myself and Bill Parker
    based on the fact the company was already a
    paying Town of Dublin customer and had expended
    approximately 6,000 for redirecting sewage from
    being pumped into the Dublin sewer collection
    system to gravity flow into the newly built PSA
    system.

28
4. Informational Items a. Dublin Area Sewer
System 1. Town of Dublin Billing Agreement
Summary Listing As requested by the
PSA board at the August meeting, Bill Parker
provided a summary of items to be done by
the Town in exchange for the 4 fee and the
agreement was subsequently signed. Board
members have been provided both the
agreement and the supplemental listing.
29
2. Notice of Connection to Sewer System Board
members have been provided a letter to new PSA
Sewer customers informing them of the
availability of service. The notice is being
placed in the doors by Lane Penn as individual
sewer collection lines become operational. As
noted in the letter, residents are being given
six months to connect to the system prior to
the initiation of non-user fees.
30
3. Start-up of Billing Services In order to
match up to the Town of Dublin utility billing
cycle, billing for newly connected PSA sewer
customers in the Dublin area will be sent out
on October 1 for September usage.
31
4. SERCAP Grant Allocation De-obligation - Board
members haven been provided a letter from SERCAP
de-obligating the 40,000 allocation as a
community project for the subdivision sewer
system.   We learned that we should have been
paying the contractor directly and seeking
reimbursement through the PSA as a community
project.  However, we were submitting pay
requests on behalf of the contractor and SERCAP
was reimbursing them directly.  It was
discovered that the IPR program (for
individual's seeking assistance) has more funds
at the present time than the community
assistance program.  Therefore, SERCAP has
advised us to continue submitting the
applications as such and they will continue
processing them as they are approved, or until
the funds run out.
32
b. Garbage Truck Accident I am very grateful
that the PSA staff and the driver of the car
were spared injury on Monday, September 6th
when a car was driven into the back of a
rear- load garbage truck. Due to a combination
of sun and spray snow that had been applied to
her windshield, the driver of the car never saw
the garbage truck and ran into the left rear
step where one of the two rear workers had just
been standing prior to walking to the other side
of the vehicle to help his co-worker lift a load
into the hopper. The driver of the car was
charged and all appropriate procedures followed
by the County staff including notification of
the Countys
33
insurance, performance of a drug test, photo
documentation of the factors involved in the
accident, relieving the three person crew for
the remainder of the day and offering
counseling services if desired.
