AB 98-146 J Ditch Phase II
Rick Harbert stated RH2 had two facets to reported on
- The progress of the preliminary engineering design build procedure
- The progress with the District on the agreement
Mr. Harbert presented the preliminary build plans. Mr. Ballard reported the process was
nearly complete. Some items were being fine tuned. Plans are nearly ready to put out
for bid. Ms. Arp inquired about the stipulations set forth in the letter from DEQ. Mr.
Harbert commented the public review would be part of the permitting process. He
stated the need to meet regulatory and funding restrictions and avoid litigation. FONSI
also has to be advertised and go through public comment process as well.
Mr. Ballard noted the landscaping was preliminary and will become more detailed as
the_process goes forth.
Mr. Harbert stated that work was being done with the District agreements and
amendments to identify elements in terms of capital cost responsibilities that could be
consolidated into one agreement that would be current and realistic with the
relationship between the City and District. This will provide clear policy direction on
capital costs, capacity and other issues. He commented on the results and progress
thus far with the District on five points of agreement.
1) Need to simplify agreements and amendments and consolidate into one document
9 2) The District does not want 1/3 the treatment plant capacity but a flow rate of
600,000 gallons per day, reflecting the number of existing customers and District
projections
3) The local share of $3.14 Million on the J Ditch loan from DEQ needs to be repaid.
The District will pay its share based on flow rate.
4) The City has 45% of the capacity in the Deinhard inceptor sewer line. It was
determined that the District's original intent was to give ownership to the City for
lease payments.
In summary, the City owns the sewer plant and the District has a capacity share.
The District owns the Deinhard inceptor line and the City has a capacity share.
5) Treat depreciation as a non -cash expenditure. If funded each year there will be
enough funds to replace the needed expenditure.
Rick Harbert commented that from the policies set in the new agreement, dollar
amounts needed to be determined, compiled and brought back to Council.
