DepL of Public Works Page 2 was sent with signature but without payment. On Monday morning Mark stated that he sent an email to IASCO for a tracking number for the check that was sent USPS to be out of compliance. At 11:00 am there was still no response from IASCO which left them in a trespass status at the airport. Mark delivered a trespass notice at approximately 11:30 am and operations were suspended. Around 1:00 pm the mail arrived and the check to bring IASCO current was received. Mark stated that he then went back out to the airport and lifted the trespass notice. Board Direction: Commissioner Osiadacz made a motion to approve the Airport Use Agreement with IASCO Flight Training as presented and Commissioner O'Brien seconded the motion. Motion passed and approved as presented. REQUEST TO APPROVE A RESOL UTIONAND A NOTICE OF CALL FOR SEALED BIDS FOR THE PROCUREMENT OFA STEEL MODULAR BRIDGE: Mark stated that in the November 2015 flood event, Ringer Loop sustained damage and was repaired. In 2016, another flood event damaged Ringer Loop causing staff to decide that there was no advantage in repairing the roadway and elected to go through FEMA's alternate project process. After approval, Public Works was awarded one million dollars ($1,000,000) to obtain new equipment and a temporary bridge. After discussion staff felt that anew 90 foot structure instead of a 60 foot structure would better fit the needs of the Department. Mark presented a resolution and a Notice of Call for Bids for the procurement of a Steel Modular Bridge for Board approval. Board Direction: Commissioner Osiadacz made a motion to approve Resolution 2017-106 and a Notice of Call for Sealed Bids for the Procurement of a Steel Modular Bridge. Commissioner O'Brien seconded the motion approving Resolution 2017-106. Motion passed and approved as presented. BLACKHORSEAT WHISKEY CREED DISCUSSION. Mark reported that during the past several winters, the onsite storm water ponds supporting improved runoff within the Blackhorse subdivision have not worked properly since they were constructed. Mark added that it appears the ponds are being influenced by the high water table in various areas. In response to the height of the water table, DR Horton recently attempted to construct a shallow infiltration gallery, which is excavation filled with round rock, setting the bottom elevation approximately three (3) feet below the existing ground surface and the excavation began filling during construction. Mark continued with stating that over the following weekend, groundwater filled the excavation to approximately eight (S) inches in depth. Staff then met with DR Horton on June 15, 2017 to discuss the issue. Currently, Public Works does not have a plan from DR Horton to address this issue. Recently, Public Works conducted a limited flood analysis of the DR Horton property (Black Horse) using a recently completed two 411 N.
