EN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: January 17,2012 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br /> Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br /> FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director4io, <br /> SUBJECT: Water Meter Readers <br /> Background <br /> Replacement of our current water meter reading system has been in the works since <br /> before I started my position with Arden Hills. I have discussed this issue twice with the <br /> Council on March 28 and July 11, 2011. Both times I was relying on staff work that was <br /> done before I came to the City. The last time I discussed this issue with the Council (July <br /> 11, 2011) essentially I was directed to begin the process over and not to rely on previous <br /> staff work. <br /> For the last six months that is exactly what I have been doing with significant help from <br /> Joe Mooney, Public Works Superintendent. We have made contact with several cities <br /> that either have recently installed new water reader systems or are considering them in <br /> the near future. We have also had several meetings with representatives of the two most <br /> prominent manufacturers of reading equipment in this area, Badger and Neptune. <br /> At Tuesday's work session we will be prepared to present our findings from our recent <br /> investigations. We will be looking for Council direction on how to proceed forward. <br /> City Council Meeting <br /> C:\Users\sonja.klingberg\Desktop\1-17-12WaterMeterReader.doe <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br />
