Call to Order: Roll Call
A. Mayor Murray called the special session of the Board of Public Works
to order at 4:00 PM. Upon roll call the following were present: Thom
Morris, Trudy Selvia and Mayor Murray. Also present were Laurie
Hardwick, Council President Adam Cohen, Courtney Schaafsma and
Kyle Small with Crowe Horwath. Representative from DLZ present
asking for decision on change order for Albin Pond project.
B. Mayor Murray addressed the change order request first and advised
that the only change order we would look at will be the one that does
not require additional funding. Motion by Mayor Murray to move
ahead on change order with a second by Thom Morris, unanimous
approval.
11. Special Requests: Brian Ramey 920 Evensview Drive
A. Brian Ramey was present requesting consideration of sewer
adjustment for lawn watering. After the Board heard his argument
and considered his request the board agreed that it has been this
board's policy in the past that sewer adjustment should not be granted.
They did however agree to allow Mr. Ramey to continue using the
temporary meter on the fire hydrant at his residence to continue
watering his lawn through the summer. This was a motion by Trudy
Selvia with a second by Thom Morris and unanimous approval.
III. Utility Rate Study report/ Crowe Horwath
A. Courtney Schaafsma and Kyle Small presented the Combined
Preliminary Utility Analysis. Discussion. Thom Morris
recommended that we look at phasing in rates over time, suggesting
adopting a rate ordinance with incremental rate increases each year for
the next 4 years at which time a new rate study should be conducted.
The Board asked for Courtney and Kyle to bring back to this Board an
analysis showing a 3% increase for operating costs and phase in over
4 years with initial rate increase higher in both water and sewer.
Board asked to have the new document prior to next meeting date of
July 21 for review.
IV. Adjournment
A. Motion by Trudy Selvia, second by Thom Morris to adjourn at 5:30
PM.
