Consent Docket
Consent Docket approved by Trustees 5-0.

General Orders
a. Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement for the Perkins Road Booster Pump Station (SUA-13-29)

Eric Fladie, Water Utilities, addressed the Council requesting an amendment with Garver LLC to relocate the booster pump station. Fladie said the original easement space for the booster pump station is provided by Rural Water District 3, however it and Water Utilities have not reached an agreement. Fladie recommended moving the planned station to a similar easement in the same area of town to meet a tentative completion date in Summer 2014. Fladie requested additional funding from the Trustees to move the planned station to the new site.

Councilor Joe Weaver asked if the new site would function as well as the original and how much additional cost would be required to move to the new site. Fladie said the site has been tested and will function as well as the original and that he is at present requesting $99,000. Fladie also said the payoff on the new site was greater since existing drives were present on the new site and not on the original. 

Vice Mayor Chuck Hopkins asked whether the pump station would be able to connect to the waterline going to the water tower if on the new site and if the city should have a contract to pump water before building.

SUA Director Dan Blankenship said where the pump station will be connected will be to the city's waterline. Blankenship said they have put in a lot of effort into the planning and that a contract would be preferable, but at the present time the benefits to residents and filling the tower by next summer were preferable. Blankenship said there is some legitament risk in moving forward, but it may also be minimal. 

City Manager Galloway said Rural Water District 3 has not said the city can not use the waterline to fill the water tower, but by moving the planned pump station to a new location it reduces the need for discussions and more planning.

Councilor Gina Noble asked whether Water Utilities has asked Rural Water District 3 if the city can use the line. Blankenship said it has asked formally and has had a number of conversations with it about the contract. Blankenship said Rural Water District 3 did not take opposition to the city using the lines, but it had questions concerning other aspects on the use of the line.

Blankenship said the requested funding would allow the project to move forward toward being eligible for bids in the fall.

Councilor Noble asked what the cost would be to not fund the move to the new location. Fladie said the water tower may not be filled to meet full demands for another two to three years. Blankenship said the water tower has water in it now but the city will not be able to fully utilize the water until this project is completed. 

Councilor Scott moved to approve staff's recommendation on General Orders item 'a'. Councilor Weaver seconded the motion.

Trustees approved 5-0.


SUA is adjourned.
