or corrections to the minutes of the previous meeting. Mr. Bristoll
moved that the minutes of the meeting of April 17, 2000 be approved
as presented, was seconded by Mrs. Mumford-Pautz and carried

Mayor Bailey announced that the Utilities Commission
has cash on hand in banks of $414,916.60.
Mayor Bailey called on Mr. Capel for his report.
Mr. Capel during the hot weather we ran the generator at the
water plant a couple of afternoons. He said we have had leaks
in service lines and they have been repaired. He said he was
going to Greensboro to meet with the Maryland Department of
the Environment and Rural Waterworks on updating our CCR report
(Consumer Confidence Report) on the water.
Mr. Capel said he wanted to get the reservoir
cleaned out this week, which they do once each year. He said
he had no further report.
Mr. Clark asked about sewage in Radcliffe Creek.
Mr. Capel said they had an outage in the compressors that operate
the pumps. He said there was an overflow and they repaired the
pumps and they were operating properly. He said there were some
fish killed in the pond at Radcliffe pond and he did not know
if that was caused by the hot weather or the sewage. He said
extremely hot weather like we had causes small ponds to lose
oxygen. He said the oxygen at one of the lagoon ponds got down
to 1.1 and fish will not survive on anything less than 6 parts
per million.
Mayor Bailey asked the Council to review the bills.
Mr. Clark moved that the bills be paid as presented, was seconded
by Mr. Bristoll and carried unanimously.
Mrs. Mumford-Pautz moved that the meeting be adjourned
at 7:35 p.m., was seconded by Mr. Clark and carried unanimously.
