Greene County sewer board approves minutes, financial report, Westgate signage and land-transfer resolution

The Greene County Sewer District board approved the February minutes and accepted the district’s financial report, authorized new Westgate Technology Park signage and passed a resolution to accept a land transfer from the redevelopment commission.

Matt presented the financial report, saying the district began February with a cash balance of $23,009.51, collected about $13,735 in monthly sewer fees and logged total expenses near $11,001.82. He said the district had received two large connection-fee checks totaling more than $123,000; after paying outstanding vendor bills (including a vendor identified in the transcript as Monofanyo for more than $40,000), the district’s bank balance was roughly $105,000 as of the prior day. “You had, beginning cash balance of $23,009.51,” Matt said, and later, “that was over over 123,000 in connection fees.”

The board voted by voice to approve the financial report after a motion and second. A separate motion to approve proposed signage for Westgate Technology Park — two 48-by-48 aluminum signs and 250 business cards with contact information — also passed. Board members agreed to list the district contact number proposed as Matt’s office (812-227-8075) for connection inquiries and to use an emergency contact listed in the meeting for urgent issues. Alan was tasked with ordering the signs and having mail delivered to Matt for handling.

A staff member explained a statute that permits expedited transfers of land between governmental entities and presented a resolution accepting transfer of the parcel the board said it needs for the new sewer plant; the resolution does not specify price or compensation. The board voted to accept the resolution; the redevelopment commission is scheduled to consider a substantially identical resolution next week and signatures were requested after the meeting.

The board tabled consideration of the Bynemouth annual service agreement because both Bynemouth representatives were attending a conference and a complete cost analysis has not yet been presented. The meeting concluded after brief operational updates and direction to follow up on equipment needs and service-agreement details.
