New Business:
I. Cost savings (analysis) of Sludge Digester—George Reese handed out
paperwork; if you'll look at the last page, it gives you the cost savings. Chris
Stovall states, we went through some options; that's what the first part of it is;
we reviewed the cost we had for it; we're looking at a 65ft. digester; it would
be a digester verses a thickener; so we can truly reduce the amount of sludge;
you're looking at 25-30%reduction. Diane Schleicher states she would share
this with the rest of Council.
II. Floridian Aquifer Meeting—Chris Stovall states, I gave Diane a copy; basically,
this is the stakeholders meeting; it's going to be 3 additional meetings with the
EPD facilitating; the 2 things that come out of it was that the cretaceous
aquifer well is going here; it was brought out very early in the meeting; the
other major item was that the red zone will require a reduction in permitted
capacities, from 60 mgd, to 50 mgd, over the next 6 years; basically by 2020,
EPD has said, here's where we're going to be; we're going to hold 3 more
meetings; we're not going to tell you how to get there; you guys work it out;
the next meeting is July 23rd at 1PM, over on Hutchinson Island, at the
