According to <br /> O&M, lin stations J I and 13 should be replaced befl)re I and 12. Therefore, staff feels <br /> that the lift station project should be split into two projects; by replacing two lift stations <br /> at a time, the sanitary sewer fund will be drawn dO\vn more gradually than if all f()llr were <br /> replaccd at once. <br /> Stonl1 Sewer Fund- Storm PQnd Maintenance <br /> As part of the MS4 pennit/Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), the City <br /> needs to be monitoring and maintaining City ponds. This has not been donc as needed to <br /> date. Funds have been budgcted over the next three years to allow the City to get where it <br /> needs to be with this program. Stafl plans to develop and manage a maintenance program <br /> in the future that will be incorporated into the City's annual opcrating budget. <br /> Water Fund <br /> An assessment of the South \vater tower was conducted in 2005, indicating thc need for <br /> somc maintenance work. This work is currently listed with "unassigned"" projects: staff is <br /> evaluating the recommended maintcnance and will schedule the work accordingly. so that <br /> the level of maintenance does not increase. <br /> Equipment . <br /> O&M has reviewed thc equipment inventory and prcpared a replacement schedule. Stafr <br /> is currently still evaluating the options for the water tanker. The Toro Groundmaster <br /> scheduled for purchase in 2006 was postponed to 2009, and the purchase of a generator <br /> was postponcd indefinitely. Staff will continually evaluate the condition of all pieces of <br /> equipment to prevcnt the purchase of equipment that docs not yet need replacement. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> Staff requests Council input and direction as outlined in this report.
