Thercfore, staff feels that thc lift station projcct should be split into two projects; by rcplacing two lift stations at a time, the sanitary sewer fund will be drawn down more gradually than if all four were replaced at oncc. Stonn Sewer Fund- Stonn Pond M_aintenance As part of the MS4 pennit/Stonn Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), the City needs to he monitoring and maintaining City ponds. This has not been done as needed to date. Funds have bcen budgeted over the next three years to allow the City to get where it needs to be with this program. Staff plans to develop and manage a maintenance program in the future that will be incorporated into the City's annual operating budget. Water Fund An assessment of the South water tower was conducted in 2005, indicating the need for some maintenance work. This work is currently listed with "unassigncd" projects; stafTis evaluating the recommendcd maintenance and will schedule the work accordingly, so that the level of maintenancc does not increase. ].OQuipment O&M has reviewcd the equipment inventory and prepared a replacement schedule. Staff is currently still evaluating the options for the water tanker. The Toro Groundmaster scheduled for purchase in 2006 was postponed to 2009, and the purchase of a generator was postponed indefinitely. Staff will continually evaluate the condition of all pieces of equipment to prevent the purchase of equipment that does not yet nccd rcplacement. .
