2. Ballfields - Property Across from Meadow Brook
Trish Drollinger, Village Council Member, joined the meeting. Ms. Drollinger informed the Committee that using the current two track for an entrance for the ball diamonds will not be a problem for MDOT since it is an existing ingress and egress off of M-88.
Motion by Gene Dawson, supported by Mike Crawford, to allow the Village of Bellaire to use the existing two track for an entrance to the ballfields and east side of the ballfields (adjacent to the upper field) for a parking lot. Yes - Dawson, Crawford; No - Bargy
3. Maintenance Update
Mr. Vitale, Maintenance Supervisor, informed the Committee his crew has been working on outside clean-up and increasing the handicap parking spaces.
· Backflow Preventer Bids
The Committee reviewed quotes for backflow preventer testing from three companies:
o D&W Mechanical
o Sheren Plumbing and Heating
o Haggard’s Plumbing and Heating
Motion by Larry Bargy, supported by Gene Dawson, to recommend the Board of Commissioners approve hiring Sheren Plumbing and Heating to provide testing on all County backflow preventer units. Motion carried – unanimous.
· Boiler Inspection
After making three contacts, Mr. Vitale received one quote for the annual boiler inspection from Northern Heating and Refrigeration.
Motion by Gene Dawson, supported by Larry Bargy, to authorize Mr. Vitale to seek additional quotations and take the lowest quote for the annual boiler inspection, not to exceed $350. Motion carried - unanimous.
4. Animal Control Shelter
Pat Weisler, Petrie Construction, and Bob Yvon, Architect, joined the meeting.
The Committee outlined the problems with the kennel walls.
The Committee, Mr. Weisler and Mr. Yvon agreed that Petrie Construction should redo, as a test, one kennel wall with an epoxy application and the other with a filler and the same Sanneborn product currently on the walls. The kennel would be put back into use to see how it holds up. Whatever product performs the best, the remainder of the kennels would be done the same way.
Mr. Weisler indicated he would do the above described test either this week or early next week.
The Committee discussed with Mr. Weisler the remaining items that need to be completed at the Animal Shelter. Mr. Weisler indicated they will complete these in the next two weeks.
Mr. Weisler indicated there would be an additional cost to get ventilation into the cat room. Mr. Yvon indicated the cat room should already have ventilation and said he would check with the mechanical engineer and get back to the Coordinator/Planner Office.
5. Waterless Urinals
Jay Troger, from Falcon Waterfree Technologies, and Steve Somers, Nichols (janitorial supplies), and Eileen Wallick, Park Manager, joined the meeting. The two representatives presented the possibility of using waterless urinals at Barnes Park and other County facilities. The Committee was interested and indicated they will consider the waterless urinals at a future date.
6. 1905 Clock Tower
Mr. Garwood informed the Committee that Mr. Bull will be starting the clock repair June 13. He also stated that Art Lennox, Engineer is in the process of designing the catchment system for the clock weights.
7. Elevator Contract
George Perkins, representative of the Meadowview Apartments management, joined the meeting. Mr. Perkins discussed the issue of the maintenance agreement for the elevator.

Mr. Garwood will forward the maintenance contracts for the apartments as well as the maintenance contract for the County Building to Legal Counsel for review and advice.
Meeting adjourned at 11:05 a.m.
