Here are the minutes provided by the committee:
Attendees
Marlene Harris, Tyler Weber, Melissa Brooks, Brenda Phillips, Josh Kuhl, Brent Benefield, and Rosie York.
Called to order at 6:00 pm
• Tyler presented quotes for repairing and replacing the water salesman. To repair it would cost $7465 and to replace and move it would cost $8085. This move does not include the electrical work that may have to be hired out to hook up, and meter and pipe that is already in house.
• Stated that the old meter blew apart, the coin mechanism has not been working right and needs repaired. The new meter would be put outside the fence at the water plant, and a camera could be put on it. A PO will be presented at tomorrow’s council meeting for the expense of repair or replacement depending on the discussion following these minuets.
• Tyler also stated that the pump and the column on well #7 were being replaced. During the cleaning of the well it was detected that they were full of iron deposits, and in bad shape. It was cheaper to do this while the well was already apart. .
• It was also stated that the water plant went down over Christmas. It was suggested that a computer back to be purchased at the cost of $1600, because there is no backup at the present time.
Brent at sewer department stated the new building may be starting at any time. Some part have been delivered. Adjourned at 6:12
