Inflow and Infiltration Update <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag provided the Council with an update on the televising of the <br />City's sewer lines and inspection of manholes and covers. He stated that once the data was <br />compiled staff would bring a plan to the Council for a lining project. He also stated that the City <br />would need to rehabilitate at least one hundred manholes and the City will look at bidding this <br />project out. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked for clarification on the types of repairs that would be done with <br />the manholes. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer Giga provided the Council with photos and described several different types of <br />repairs that would be needed for these. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag stated that a sump pump program would be brought to the City <br />mid-summer for their approval. He also stated that staffwas seeking authorization to hire a part- <br />time seasonal person for a period of fifteen weeks. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked why a seasonal person would be needed for fifteen weeks when it <br />appeared that most of the work would be completed by mid June. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag stated that staff would like to have this person also work on the <br />storm water issues as well during this period. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked why there were only about one hundred manholes slated for <br />rehabilitation and not all of them. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag explained that the plan at this time was to rehabilitate the worst <br />ones first. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated that he would like to have a better work plan. He stated that he <br />would prefer to see something more visual and concrete that includes dates and goals. He asked <br />when the sump pump program was expected to go into effect and that there should be an active <br />program this year. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Hoag stated that the sump pump program was expected to be before the <br />Council by the end of June. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung stated that the Council would like to see a prioritized work plan. <br />This would assist the Council in knowing where the City is and what resources will be needed. <br />
