Visitor Reception:

Mr. Richard Soloman of Transport Unlimited, Lebanon Road, West Mifflin.

Subject: Sanitary sewering of Noble Road and Lebanon Road.

Mr. Solomon stated that the biggest hurdle to go over on this project is finances. He would like Chester Engineers to determine how much it would cost to sewer this area. Mrs. Parkinson said the last determination was $1.2 million dollars. This is the figure used for funding applications. Discussion took place regarding the Capital Budget and it was determined that the Capital Budget has been determined that the Budget is up for approval and that it still contained the Noble Road application for $500,000.

Mr. Soloman stated that he would be willing to help with anything to get this project started, and to contact him if there is anything he can do to help.

There being no further business, on motion (Trimbath-Price), the meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.

Respectfully submitted by:

Michael Price, Secretary

West Mifflin Sanitary Sewer Municipal Authority
