Special Council Agenda - I VIM5
Mento
(R.W.)
In order to meet advance publication requirements, a public hearing was
scheduled for November 1 at 7 p.m. to allow the Council the opportunity to
further discuss whether any changes should be made to the Wastewater
Treatment Plant Facilities Plan. Primarily, the Mayor and staff were trying
to anticipate whether the Council wanted to reconsider the treatment process
we had originally selected based on test results that should be available from
Sunny Fresh Foods. In addition to the hourly sampling results from Sunny
Fresh, the staff did not know whether our scheduled tours to visit other
plants would provide additional information that the Council would want to
consider before giving the final go-ahead to HDR on the plant design.
At the previous meeting, Council had originally planned on simply opening
up the public hearing and continuing the hearing to another date because of
Shirley's anticipated absence from this meeting. If this is still the plan,
Council members may want to consider continuing the meeting to Thursday,
November 2, or possibly Monday, November 6, if the Council feels further
discussion is necessary. It is anticipated that the sampling data from Sunny
Fresh will be summarized and fazed to the two major SBR manufacturers,
Aqua Aerobics and Jet -Tech, so that they can review the data and get back to
us with whether or not they feel their original equipment proposals are still
accurate. This Sunny Fresh data should give the manufacturers an
opportunity to determine whether larger air blowers or tank size should be
altered to accommodate the expected loadings. If the manufacturers still feel
we're on the right track, this information may help the Council determine
once and for all the typo of treatment facility we should be building.
Regardless of which treatment process we go with, the second issue the
Council needs to address is whether we are pursuing additional land
acquisition as part of the original design or whether we build on the property
we own. These aro the two issues we need to decide once and for all so that
HDR can begin in earnest their design work so that we can keep on schedule
for bid -letting in spring of 1896.
The staff should have an indication from the SBR suppliers, their comments
on our Sunny Fresh testing, Wednesday night so that the Council would be
able to schedule the date fbr continuing the public hearing, if necessary.
