City Council Water & Sewer Subcommittee <br />May 15, 2003 <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />the modified version will achieve the desired results. It appears that to fully <br />implement the modification, less than half of the budgeted $40,000.00 will be <br />needed. <br /> <br />City Manager Malone said the %onventional methods (that) have worked for <br />years" referred to by Councilman Plata will no longer suffice due to the new <br />rule that has been implemented. An expenditure is necessary to meet the new <br />rule in effect to avoid a situation where we would be fined and to protect the <br />health of the citizens we serve, which is the purpose of the new rule. <br />Councilman Plata's projected saving of $40,000.00 cannot be reasonably <br />achieved and meet the rule in an adequate and responsible manner. However, <br />it appears that city staff will save as much as $20,000.00 or more through their <br />innovation. <br /> <br />City Manager Malone advised that attached to his memorandum are minutes <br />ora budget workshop of September 19, 2002, where they discussed this project <br />which was placed in the budget at $40,000.00 for this project and any other <br />maintenance that is needed in that facility. He said that also attached are two <br />photographs, one showing what the mixer/aerator looks like floating in the <br />basin and the second one shows what personnel have to do to clean the sludge <br />out of the basin when it becomes overloaded. In the background, there is a <br />extension tube, which is retractable. <br /> <br />Mr. Campbell explained that the top half of the tube is fixed in place and the <br />bottom half slips over it and as the aerator flows, depending on the depth of the <br />water, it extends itself all the way out almost to the bottom of the basin where <br />it picks up the sludge and brings it back to the surface and mixes it. <br /> <br />Councilman Plata wanted to know how often these basins are cleaned. Mr. <br />Campbell advised that they do this about every two to two and one-half years. <br />Mr. Plata stated that is not the information that he received. Mr. Campbell said <br />he could research this matter. Chairman Plata said they told him it had not <br />been cleaned in the last seven years. Mr. Campbell asked David Wims to look <br />that information up. Mr. Wims said the last time it was cleaned was in August <br /> <br /> <br />
