Regular Session

7:00 pm
The Village Board of the Village of Camargo met in regular session on August 12, 2019 at the Camargo Community Building. The meeting was called to order at 7:04 pm by Village President Bart Dann. Roll call found the following trustees present: Nancy George, Pam Sigler, Jeane Brieland, Laura Miller and Gary Gilpin. Village Superintendent Doug Raymer, Water Superintendent Kyle Raymer, and Treasurer Shirley Badman were all in attendance.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Dave Bragg, Mike Pangburn, and Chuck Dorsett, on behalf of Camargo Fire Department: Doug Raymer began the conversation by stating the tap for water main with the valve will be $1725. We can’t do a 4” tap. IL Meter estimated a pipe and meter at $4829.55. Per President Dann, we can’t go bigger than a 4” pipe. The engineer said not to do a 6” line. The water will get stagnant and pull pressure from Lakewood Estates.
Doug stated they would need a boring permit from the State of IL to go under the road. He does not have an estimate for the bore. However, he will give all estimates he gathered to Chuck Dorsett. Doug stated that he does not want to make this a main extension. Once you decide to extend the main, you have to get the EPA involved, inspections, engineers, etc. You would be looking at approximately $10,000.
Chuck stated their new address was already given to them from Douglas County Emergency Management: 1021 N Route 130, Camargo.
Nancy George made a motion for the Village to cover the cost of the tap for the Fire Department. Pam Sigler seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously.
Chuck stated that if the Board waives the building permit fee, that would also be greatly appreciated. However, they do not want to cut the fees from the building inspector. They are more than happy to pay his portion of the fees.
