Discussion on NOWS Contract History
Ken Zarzecki is the
director of the Utilities Division of the Ottawa County Road Commission. He is the person most familiar with the Northwest
Ottawa Water Treatment System (NOWS) from the mid-1970’s forward. The Council suggested Ken be invited to
provide background information and answer questions, especially as it
pertains to water service to non-NOWS member communities.
I asked Ken to be
prepared to answer the following questions:
1. What
is the history of NOWS?
2. What
is the history of the Spring Lake Village buy-in?
3. What
is the history of water service to Crockery Township?
4. What
is the financial relationship of Crockery water service to Spring Lake
Township?

Discussion of Participation in the
Ottawa County Wireless Proposal
Participation will
cost $185. It also entails potential
permission to locate towers on some of the Village’s property (parks, parking
lots, ornamental light poles, etc.).
The return is a possible 5% share as a leasing fee.
I suggest that we
tentatively grant consideration to locating towers on top of the Village
Hall/Municipal Services Building….not on ornamental light poles or anywhere
in parks, for example. Permission to
collocate on existing poles in parks seems reasonable, however (lights at
Central Park, for example). In any
case, the Village Council should reserve the right to approve or deny
specific locations and specific poles once the height; exact location and
other specifications are known.
Discussion is
requested. Attached is additional
information.
