Those Present: Matt Argyle, DeLoy Kunz, Greg Kunz, Marty Nate, Mayor Steve Waechtler, City Clerk Lynette Smith, Jason Linford and Kevin Martin of Sunrise Engineering, Damien Waechtler
Meeting called to order: 7:10 pm Invocation: Clerk Lynette Smith
Sunrise engineering was present for the meeting and they reported that DEQ has suggested that they do some extra testing and include a micro particulate analysis since we had some issues the last couple of years needing boil orders. Jason Linford presented more funding options from what was discussed at the last meeting of getting the loan for only $300,000 to fix the pipes along Main Street, replace fire hydrants, update the chlorinator building and replace the PRV’s. They discussed options for doing more testing above the spring to find the source of the bad water. After much discussion it was decided to increase the loan to $400,000 in case we need to redo the whole chlorinator building or if the testing goes higher than expected.
Councilmember Marty Nate made the motion to accept the water loan at $400,000 with putting $200,000 of our own money down. Councilmember Matt Argyle seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried the council.
Ordinance #95 to approve the revenue bond for water improvements and place on the ballot for the November election was read aloud by Clerk Smith. City Attorney, Adam Mckenzie was available on the phone to answer questions. Councilmember Matt Argyle made the motion to accept and adopt Ordinance #95 for the revenue bond. Councilmember Greg Kunz seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken and is as follows: DeLoy – yes, Matt – yes, Marty – yes, Greg – yes.
The council expressed that they are all excited to work with Sunrise Engineering for the water project.
The chair entertained a motion from Councilmember Matt Argyle that council adjourns from the September 2018 Special Meeting at 8:00 pm. Councilmember Marty Nate seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried the council.
Respectfully submitted,
Lynette Smith, City Clerk-Treasurer
