for the construction of the intercep or sewer. John Badalich of
OSM was present and presented a writ en statement covering the present
status and the bids that were receiv d on March 4, 1986. The letter
noted that the award of the bid has een held up pending acquisition
of certain easements and final appro al of the Environmental Assessment
Worksheet by the Pollution Control A ency. He also noted that upon
completion of the EAW, the City woul need a permit for sanitary
sewer extension from the PCA, and th t final approval from Burlington
Northern Railroad Company would be r quired. Since the last meeting
on March 24, the above items have been resolved. No negative comments
were received on the Environmentalssessment Worksheet, and the
final findings will be submitted by the PCA this week. Badalich
also noted that the PCA has granted the extension permit. Lastly,
Burlington Northern has approved th plans and specifications and
will allow open cutting of certain ailroad right-of-way. While
the final documents are not yet in and, it was the recommendation
of Badalich that the contract be aw rded so that the processing of
contracts could commence.

to award the contract for the const uction of interceptor sewer and
appurtenant work to the L & G Rehbe n, Inc., in the amount of $935,720.75

resignation of Sean Hancock, Lab Te hnician at the Wastewater Treatment

the timing of the replacement in li ht of the possibility of contracting

recommendation that the City advertise for a Wastewater Treatment
Plant Operator with sufficient ski ls to carryon certain lab tests
which can supplement the efforts 0 Tony Strande, the current Wastewater
Treatment Plant Operator. In addi ion, Eidem noted that Hancock
had indicated a willingness to con ract with the City on an occasional
