new SAC unit, so the city will collect that fee and the sewer bill will be adjusted accordingly. Water Tower Inspection The work of inspecting and cleaning the interior of the water tower will be scheduled for September. PUBLIC WORKS/STREETS Staffing One of our public works staff members will be undergoing surgery in November, which will sideline him for plowing duties. We are exploring options to fill that void until he can return to work. City Hall Renovation The architect has completed their work on a layout for a renovation project at city hall. Staff will present this report and budget estimates at an upcoming work session. Committee Vacancy The parks committee has one open seat. Inter -fund Loan At the last city council meeting, a resolution was approved reworking the inter -fund loan arrangement between the Park Dedication Fund and the Sewer Fund. Accumulated interest was forgiven and the loan will now be interest free. Also, a total of roughly $90,000 was transferred from the Park Dedication Fund to the Sewer Fund, to pay down principal on the loan. The funds came from Ruffridge-Johnson (10k), Midwest Best Water (5k) and Bayview Villas (75k), respectively. The Old Mill Estates development will pay Park Dedication Fees on per lot basis as permits are pulled. With all of these actions, we should see the balance on the loan drop below $1 Million before the end of the year! Long Range Capital Improvement Plan Staff has completed an evaluation of our existing park equipment and has shared that with the committee. Our Finance Director has placed this information in our Capital Improvement Plan for the Capital Outlay fund to be discussed at an upcoming workshop. Waterski Shows Staff was unable to reach a viable agreement with food vendors in time to kick this event off in 2019. The Parks Committee would still like to pursue a recurring Thursday night event to enhance the Bald Eagle Waterski Shows.
