The purpose of the meeting was for introductory discussion regarding the engineering section of the proposed Capital Improvement Plan. Mayor Buckbee called the meeting to order at 5:50 p.m. Present: Dario, Brenner, Helmbrecht, Wilharber. John Stewart, City Engineer, began his presentation of the proposed plan with an overview of the context of the information. He included discussion for regarding a "Twenty Year Improvement and Maintenance Schedule". He noted that from the schedule it may be advantageous to calculate the costs for proposed expenditures beyond the five year period and begin budgeting now to meet those needs. Mr. Stewart cited the proposed cleaning of sedimentation in the holding ponds scheduled for the years 2004- 2005. The following discussion refers to specific Capital Improvement (CIP) numbers in the proposed plan. A copy of the plan is on file with the Clerk/Administrator. CIP 1 Lift Stations Change the dollar amount of the expenditure to $52,000. CIP 10 Peltier lake Drive Culvert - Change the dollar amount of the expenditure to $110,000. ClP 2 Sanitary Manholes and Covers - Mr. Stewart noted that an inflow/infiltration grant applied for by the City to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission was turned down in 1993. He suggested that the City reapply in 1994. He further recommended that if the grant were to be turned down in 1994, the City should budget appropriately and complete this project in 1994. CIP 3 Sewer and Water Master Plan Updates The proposed assessments are expected to be a developer cost. ClP 4 Computerized Maintenance Record System - The City should improve itJs processes and procedures before spending monies on computerization. e CIP 5 Sewer Line Maintenance - As the length of the system increases so does the cost. In the past maintenance has been flushing of the lines. Per Mr. Stewart, the City should now start televising to identify possible repair areas. ClP 6 Trunk Sewer and Water Construction - The City should start budgeting for future lift stations. The infrastructure is pretty good right now and there is currently not a lot of cost for maintenance.
