1. Report from the Utilities Department regardlng request from Mr. Arthur
Johnson to not be included in the sewer extension into Pineview Estates.
(Deferred from July 8 Engineering Services)
I
Mr. Hicks: We have figured out a way to minimize the effect of the sewer
extension by using a permanent easement only across Mr. Johnson's driveway. He
requested that he also not be included in the sewer extension and that would not be
something we could do.

Mr. Colclough: I move that we approve the alternate route of the sewer extension
and deny his request to be excluded.
I
Mr. Mays: Second.
Motion adopted unanimously.
2. Approve Amendment #5 to the existing contract with OM!, Inc. for the
operations, maintenance and management services associated with the James

Motion adopted unanimously.
3.
Consider removal of 2931133 Richmond Hill Road from the Mandatory
Garbage Pickup and removal of charges from the tax bill. (Requested by
Commissioner Bridges)
I
Mr. Chairman: This is an old farm that is over 300 feet from the road, it is an
unimproved private, dirt road so it meets at least three of the four criteria that we had
used previously on the Rosier property so it sounds like it qualifies for the exemption.
Mr. Boyles: I move for approval.
Mr. Mays: Second. Do we make exceptions in some cases because the haulers
can't do it?
Mr. Bridges: The new haulers would come to where the private drive comes into
the road. They won't go up in there and pick it up.
After further discussion, the motion was adopted lIn"n;mously.
8.
Approve award for construction of the Horseshoe Road 100Inch Water Main
Installation Project to Mabus Brothers Construction Company, Inc. who
