1. The September meeting of the Water Board was called to order by
President Shirley at 7:00 P.M. in the City Hall.
Members present: Shirley, Bohm.
Members absent: Juenemann.
Also present: Administrator Thompson, Engineer Kaldunski.
2. The meeting opened with a discussion on the comprehensive water distribution
plan for the City of Farmington. It was agreed that we could use such a
plan to the advantage of all. Motion by Shirley, second by Bohm to hire
the engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik Associates, Inc. to
prepare a water comprehensive distribution plan for the City of Farmington
( approximately 13 sq. miles) for the amount of $15,000.00. More discussion
followed. Engineer Kaldunski will invite the engineering firm to attend
the next meeting to thoroughly discuss the plan so that we know what we'll
be getting and when. Motion carried.
3. The need of water meters was discussed.
4. Discussion ensued regarding a fee charge for future water need to help
pay for an additional water tower/well when the need arises. As our City
grows, we know we'll need more equipment to supply the population growth
and to keep our system "Grade A."
5. Engineer Kaldunski upgraded our pending jobs schedule, plus a few new jobs.
6. Scheduling #3 Well for inspection was discussed. It has been quite some
time since it was checked. It was recommended by Layne of Minnesota, a
company hired to survey our water equipment.
7. Motion by Shirley to authorize payment of bills totalling $1,834.80.
Discussion followed, then a second by Bohm. Motion carried.
