WATER BOARD
REGULAR
APRIL 29, 1986
1. The meeting was called to order by President Shirley at 7:30 P.M. in
City Hall.
Present: President Shirley, Members Juenemann and Bohm.
Absent: None.
Also Present: City Administrator Thompson, City Engineer Kaldunski, Finance
Director Henneke and Jerry Bauer from General Services.
2. Finance Director Henneke reviewed the Water Fund both for calendar year
1985 and 1986 to date. He further broke down the sources and respective amounts
that make up the accounts receivable.
3. The Board was informed that eight residences, four on either side of Elm
Street between Division and First are serviced by a 1}" line rather than directly
from the main. Motion by Shirley, second by Bohm to approve expenditures, esti-
mated at $1,000.00 per house to reconnect these eight homes to the main if
possible. APIF, motion carried.
4. Jerry Bauer advised the Board that approximately 1,750 trees were planted
on the Well No. 4 property. He estimated that seeding the site will cost approxi-
mately $1,000.00.
5. City Engineer Kaldunski presented the Board with quotations received for
inspection and cleaning of the water tank. Motion by Juenemann, second by Bohm
to accept the low bid of $800.00 from Water Tower Paint and Repair Company of
Clear Lake, Iowa. APIF, motion carried.
6. The Board next discussed installation of additional hydrants on Eighth Street.
Motion by Shirley, second by Juenemann to install two hydrants on Eighth Street,
one near the Methodist Church and one near Ash Street. APIF, motion carried.
7. President Shirley departed the meeting at 9:00 P.M.
8. Discussion was then held on the feasibility of extending a twelve inch main
west along Highway 50 to the vicinity of the Duo Plastics facility. A rough
estimate of the cost including four hydrants and two valves was in the area of
$125,000. The Board generally was in favor of this project providing that the
funding was through traditional means rather than depleting the Water Fund reserves.
9. A brief discussion was held on the possible need to pull and inspect the pumps
and wells. Estimated cost is $10,000 to $15,000 per well.
10. Motion by Juenemann, second by Bohm to authorize payment of all bills pre-
sented to the Board totalling $4,730.87. APIF, motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert G. Juenemann
Secretary
