Mayor Pro Tem Williams announced that the special meeting was called in order to review Sewer Project and consider a Resolution authoriz- ing sub- contracts on the Infiltration /Inflow Project. Councilman Francis requested the Council to consider a problem in the outfall line at the Pine Creek cross over prior to consideration of the sub - contracts for the Infiltration /Inflow Project. Councilman Francis stated: "There are many reasons why a rehabilitation program for this section of the main outfall should begin immediately. 1. The polution of Pine Creek constitutes a serious health hazard to the Pine Creek Area. When the conditions become known to the State Health Department, they may require an immediate correction. 2. The constant pumping of excess water through our treatment plant resulting in the following: (a) Excess power cost (b) Excess chemical cost (c) Unnecessary wear and tear on all expensive pumping and treat- ing facilities. 3. The impossibility of controlling the sewage treatment process due to wild fluctuations in hydraulic flows. 4. The corrections in the outfall line would lead to more accurate conclusions affacti.ng the entire Sewer Project. In conclusion, it is my.suggestion that the Engineering Department assigned to the Sewer Project, immediate steps to provide.plans and specifications to correct the above conditions." City Engineer Conner reviewed and discussed sub - contracts for the Infiltration /Inflow Project. After discussion, a motion was made by Councilman McGee, seconded by Councilman Graham to accept the contracts.
