1) Call to Order: The meeting was called to order at 7:13pm by Chair Krueger.
2) Approve Agenda: The agenda was approved as presented.
3) Approve Minutes - March 28, 2011: Motion by Krueger, second by Maguire to
approve the minutes of March 28, 2011. APIF, motion passed.
4) Continued Business:
a) Well #5 Maintenance: City Engineer Schorzman shared information with the
Board related to the sediment level in Well #5. The sediment level had
increased five feet from 2009 to 2011. This leaves only 26 feet of open hole
below the bottom of the well casing. At this level, it is anticipated that the
well could begin to pump sand which could potentially damage the pump,
shafts, and bearings, as well as introduce sediment into our water tower and
distribution system. The staff recommendation was to bail the sediment from
the well as provided by bid alternate 1. Motion by Krueger, second by Jensen
to approve bid alternate 1 from E.H. Renner & Sons for Well #5 and authorize
staff to direct the removal of 100 cubic yards of material from the well,
measure the depth of the well, and, if necessary direct the removal of up to an
additional 320 cubic yards of material from the well. Total cost not to exceed
$81,000. APIF, motion passed.
5) New Business: None
6) Approve Bills - Finance: Motion by Maguire, second by Krueger to approve
bills in the amount of$14,449.76. APIF, motion passed.
7) Open Forum:
a) Member Jensen asked a question about homes currently served by private
wells and septic systems. City Engineer Schorzman indicated that homes
served by private sewer and water are required to hook-up to City services if
they are available.
b) Updates on the maintenance of Wells #5 and #7 will be brought to the next
meeting.
Adjourn: The meeting adjourned at 7:45pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Kevin Schorzman
City Engineer
