1. Call to Order
Mayor Lloyd Hilgart called the special meeting to order at 6 p.m.
2. 6 p.m. Water Treatment Facility Funding Efforts
Matt Leonard, City Engineer/Public Works Director, provided a brief overview of the
possibility of a new Water Treatment Facility. Currently there are potential effects from
the level of manganese in the water and one proposed solution is a new Water
Treatment Facility. The cost is unknown but expected to be somewhere between $22
million - $28 million. One preferred funding option would be from outside assistance or
State bonds. Staff requested direction on pursuing possible funding by submitting the
item into the State Bonding bill.
It was consensus of the City Council that staff pursue the possibility of funding through
the State bonding bill with a request of $20 million. Mayor Hilgart noted that he would
assist in advocating for legislation.
3. Adjournment
By consensus, the meeting was adjourned at 6:25 p.m.
