presented. APIF, Motion Carried.
2. Continued Business –
a. Water Tower Cleaning Update- Engineer Schorzman gave a verbal update of the cleaning that was
recently completed at the main water tower. There was more sediment than anticipated. The board
discussed looking at the sediment by dropping a camera in and discussed getting more information on
a mixing system for potential future use. The board asked Engineer Schorzman to invite the
contractor to the January meeting to discuss their findings.
b. Water Supply and Distribution Update – Engineer Schorzman noted that over 3years the cost was
$58,500. The Met Council and DNR have joined together and created a questionnaire that will meet
their reporting requirements. There have been no additional land acquisitions that would change our
demand significantly. The consensus was to have this done in house and if needed, contact a
consultant .

was the opinion of the board to watch what regulatory processes develop over the next few years. The
City Engineer will provide information as it becomes available.
