Special City Council Meetrng <br />September 17, 2001 <br />Page 7 <br />City Manager Malone advised that this project is to finish an EPA Order. <br />City Manager Malone advised the City Council that regarding the Gateway <br />Proj ect, the city has received a check for the damage and this proj ect has been <br />placed in the budget. The budget has been passed and it is now an official <br />project. He said the intention is to have the plans and specifications prepared <br />by the City Engineer to bid this project out. The City Manager said this work <br />could be done on a"work by the day" basis for less than $25,000.00, but at <br />this point in time, he was working toward plans and specifications to bid this <br />proj ect out. <br />City Manager Malone told the City Council that one of the drainage proj ects <br />that was authorized by the City Council is located in the area of lOth Street S. <br />E. just south of Jackson Street. The ditch was totally grown up. He said the <br />city has had a contractor in there who has cleaned all of that out, and he was <br />happy to say at this point in time, with all the rains that we have had, none of <br />the highwater signs that has been installed permanently were necessary. The <br />water drained on down the creek with no high water. <br />City Manager Malone said with regard to the Utility Department, repairs are <br />being made to the filters at the Water Treatment Plant that were damaged by <br />a broken valve several months ago. The Utility Department, in conjunction <br />with the Police Department, has taken additional counter terrorism measures <br />to protect the water supply including extra unscheduled police patrol of the <br />major facilities, extra care to see that all locks are secure and in place and other <br />types of security measures. <br />Betty Landon, Librarian for the City of Paris, came forward telling the City <br />Council that in January all public libraries across the state will be receiving <br />money according to a certain formula. The City of Paris will receive money in <br />the amount of $6,000.00 to $7,000.00 with no strings attached as to the <br />expenditures. Ms. Landon advised the City Council that another thing that she <br />is working on is a schedule that will allow for the Library to be open six days <br />
